You can calculate shipping rates in any combination of the below three ways.
1) Real Time Shipping Rates
Calculate shipping by weight and location and have live shipping rates post to your customers directly from the carriers you choose; UPS, FedEx, or USPS.
2) Custom Shipping Table by Weight
Rather than using the actual rates from the carriers, you can use your own defined shipping rates which are determined by the overall weight of the items in the shopping cart.
3) Custom Shipping Table by Price
You can use your own defined shipping rates which are determined by the overall price of the items in the shopping cart.
One very popular configuration is to use Real Time Shipping Rates in conjunction with Custom Shipping Table by Price. Many merchants will offer real time rates from their carrier of choice for ground and air shipments, but also will run a special for free shipping over a certain order total. They will use the Real Time Shipping Rates and also create a custom table for Free Shipping by price where the prices for which the shipping rate of $0.00 is defined only over the dollar amount. (For example all order over $100 receive free shipping).
