<p>Take control of your shipping costs — the simple way.</p>
<p>WooCommerce’s built-in shipping methods don’t support weight limits, leaving stores vulnerable to costly mistakes when heavy items trigger free or flat-rate shipping. Simple Weight Based Shipping fixes that with a lightweight, plug-and-play solution designed for real-world merchants.</p>
<p><strong>Key Features</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Add weight limits to existing WooCommerce shipping methods (Flat Rate, Free Shipping, Local Pickup)</li>
<li>Set minimum and maximum weight thresholds per shipping instance</li>
<li>Auto-hide methods when the cart weight doesn’t meet your rules</li>
<li>Optional max size limit based on the longest item side</li>
<li>No new shipping methods — extends what you already use</li>
<li>Set default weights and dimensions for products with missing data</li>
</ul>
<p><strong>Cost & Profit Protection</strong></p>
<ul>
<li>Prevent shipping losses by hiding costly options for heavy orders</li>
<li>Stop free shipping abuse on oversized items</li>

</ul>

</ul>

<p>Built for small to medium WooCommerce stores that need practical, cost-effective protection from shipping losses. Not enterprise overhead.</p>
<p>Lightweight. Affordable. Effective.</p>
