Thank you very much")* Hi, When setting up a shipping method, you can set restrictions. So you can create many shipping methods, each restricted on different volumes range and with a different price. More than that, you can combine the volume and weight in the restriction rules.

Thank you very much")* Hi Xavier, I understand that, but I don't know if that solves the problem. Maybe I haven't explained myself ok. Let me put an example so I'm clear: - I have this product. The volume is 800 x 1000 x 2204. The weight is 40kg. But actually, the shipping weight with that volume is 467kg. [ ![weight.png](/forum/attachment/31321) ](/forum/attachment/31321 "weight.png") - I add this, and I also add some other products, that only has weight. For example 250 meters of this: [ ![weight2.png](/forum/attachment/31322) ](/forum/attachment/31322 "weight2.png") So the first product has to be counted for volume (or as 467kg) and the second in weight, but both has to be sent together. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Thank you very much")* Hi, What I would do in your case is turned off the display of the weight in the HikaShop configuration. Then, in the weight field, enter the effective weight you want to use for the shipping methods restrictions calculations. And then create a custom field of the table "product" via the menu Display>Custom fields so that you can enter the weight to be displayed on the product page.
