Item witn individual shipping and item with weight

Hi guys,

I'm trying to do the following and need help:

Item A has an individual shipping rate of £5
All other items in the store have their shipping rate dependent on total weight of cart. So if cart is 100g then shipping = £1, 200g= £2, and so on.

However, item A has no weight as its shipping is not dependent on weight. reason being: item A is a subscription item which will be shipped out each month for the next year so we have a set shipping rate of £5.

The problem is if I have item A and one other item in cart, shipping should come to: £6 (£5 for item A + £1 for other item), however, in reality it comes to: £1 due to the other item's weight being 100g and item A weight being 0.. how do I find a way around this?

Many Thanks in advance.

anyone?

Hi,

I think that you are using a shipping method which use price per product, right ?
So why not just set a weight to the Item A to 500g, by this way in all cases its price will be £5, and when with other items the price will be £5 + ... depending on the other products.
