This plugin provides two shipping modules for the WP E-Commerce system that offer shipping:
- By weight and continent
- By weight and country / region
Quotes can be calculated either by looking up the entire cart total weight against the configured weight bands, or alternatively by looking up each individual item, and summing up the individual costs.
Both modules can be used at the same time - see (http://www.leewillis.co.uk/region-based-shipping-wp-e-commerce/)
This plugin also provides an online tool to allow you to split countries into whatever regions are relevant for your business.

The plugin offers three different ways of mapping a customers order onto your weight bands.
Single quote for total cart weight
The weight of the entire cart is calculated, and this weight is used to check against the configured weight bands for the customer's selected destination
Sum of quotes for individual items
Assumes that each item will be shipped individually. For each item in the cart, the weight is calculated for that product, and used to check against your configured weight bands. This shipping cost is multiplied by the quantity of that item that the user is buying. All of the prices are summed up to give the final customer cost.
Sum of quotes for consolidated items
Assumes that each item will be shipped in bundles. For each item in the cart, the consolidated weight is calculated for that product (According to the quantity being purchased), and that consolidated weight is used to check against your configured weight bands. All of the prices are summed up to give the final customer cost.
