Page 10Support: http://amasty.com/support.htmlCopyright 2012 amasty.comUser Guide: Shipping Table RatesRate, PPP, FRPP and FRPUW are added to each other, so in our situation shipping will be calculated as 50 per orderplus 3 percent of total product price plus flat rate of 7 plus 0,1 for the unit of weight for each product. If we have in cart 3products which cost 2000 and weigh 200 lb, with extra large shipping type, the price of shipping to Arkansas will be:151 = 50 (flat rate per order) + 60 (3% of product price) + 21 (7 per product) + 20 (0.1 for each lb of weight)For extra large products shipped to NY shipping rate is less in our setup. Also, shipping rate differs for the goods, locatedin CA storehouse when they are shipped to the other coast (NY), etc.6. View imported rates 11. Page 11Support: http://amasty.com/support.html7.
