<p>Flat rate box shipping lets you define costs for boxes to different destinations. Items are packed into boxes based on item size and volume, and then that box uses the fixed costs you define per destination.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Add multiple box sizes per shipping zone.</li>
<li>Add costs per box, per weight unit, and a percentage of the item costs inside.</li>
<li>Define a cost for un-packable items e.g. too large to fit in a box.</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wccom-product-heading__hr" />
<h2>Advanced Shipping Rates using Box Packing</h2>
<p>When a customer checks out with items in their basket, the plugin reviews the destination of items, matches this to a zone, and then uses the rates in that zone for the calculation. Each destination and rate can have its own box sizes and multiple sets of box sizes, based on your shipping requirements. Items are packed into boxes to get a rate.</p>

Flat Rate Box Shipping

<p>Pack items into boxes with pre-defined costs per destination</p>

<p>This is a fantastic solution if your store is selling one-off, heavy or large products which require additional shipping, unlike the rest of your catalog, or if you only have a few products with set shipping fees.</p>
<ul class="wccom-tick-list-primary">
<li>Add costs to the<strong> other shipping methods</strong>, or used as a <strong>standalone</strong> shipping method.</li>
<li><span style="line-height: 13px">Define<strong> line and per-item</strong> costs per <strong>product</strong> or per <strong>variation</strong>.</span></li>
<li>Define different shipping <strong>costs for products</strong>, based on <strong>customer location</strong>.</li>
<li><strong>Import and export</strong> rates via the built-in simple CSV handler.</li>
<li>Use as a <strong>standalone</strong> shipping method, where the final cost is the sum of all product costs.</li>
<li>-or- add per-product costs to other shipping methods</li>
</ul>
<hr class="wccom-product-heading__hr" />
<h2>How Per-Product Shipping can be used</h2>
<p>Per-Product Shipping can be used in two ways:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>Multiple Shipping Methods</strong>: If enabled, rates can be applied in addition to your other shipping methods. For example: If your store offered a bulky product that you wanted to set up with extra shipping fees, you could create a fee to be added to that specific product. If you had multiple items in your cart, two kinds of shipping would be represented in one cost — a) your default shipping costs for the other items in the cart, and b) the shipping cost of the bulky item.</li>
<li><strong>Standalone Method</strong>: In this scenario the ‘per-product shipping’ is the default shipping method. In this case, all product costs are added together to form a single rate. When the Standalone method is chosen, no other shipping methods are offered.</li>
</ol>
