Price Shipping is a great shipping method for Virtuemart 2.x. It allows you to set up shipping cost based on total price of order. When users check out products, it will calculate and show total shipping cost based on total price of order that they are purchasing.

Example:
+ Total price of order is between $0 - $100, then shipping cost is $8.
+ Total price of order is between $100 - $250, then shipping cost is $13.
+ Total price of order is between $250 - $500, then shipping cost is $18.
+ Total price of order is between $500 - $800, then shipping cost is $22.
+ Total price of order is between $800 - $1000, then shipping cost is $30.
+ Total price of order is > $1000, then shipping is free.
The Price Shipping method also supports some other options:
+ Select countries to apply this shipping method
+ Enter package fee
+ Select tax rule to apply for shipping cost
+ Option to enter minimum price for free shipping
Many my clients asked for this shipping method that I decided to create it. I hope that you will like it.
