Creating a rate cost

[i_ashoo]

Hi,

I need to create a rate cost which contains fixed and variable value depending upon weight.
for e.g. Upto 10 Kg the rate should be flat 80 USD. Beyond 10 Kg it has to be charged 5 USD/Kg. So if my total weight is 13 kg then total amount should be 80 + 5*3 = 95 USD

Re: Creating a rate cost

You can use Calculate As Marginal Cost flag in Rate Cost.

1. define a base cost of $80/shipment
2. define an excess cost (mark this check box) of $5/kg on the same rate cost definition.

Thanks Joseph,

Would really appreciate if you can guide me on defining the excess cost. I was unable to locate it.

Just specify a basis to determine weight is greater than 10 Kg
