Take control of your shipping costs — the simple way.

Simple Weight Based Shipping

Simple Weight Based Shipping lets WooCommerce stores show or hide shipping methods based on total cart weight and a single max item size, with sensible defaults, controls, and solid compatibility.

<h2>FedEx Shipping Method</h2>
With the FedEx Shipping Method, your shoppers at checkout will see and be charged for shipping based on your FedEx rates. The rates are determined via the FedEx API.
This extension requires that your store uses US or Canadian Dollars for its currency, US or Canada as the base country. To use the Legacy SOAP API,  your server must have <a href="http://php.net/manual/en/class.soapclient.php">SOAP</a> installed. It primarily works with <code>in</code>s and <code>lb</code>s, but other units can be converted automatically.
FedEx can calculate quotes worldwide, as it handles both domestic and international parcels:
