The Free Shipping and Shipping Freights add-on gives a store admin the facilities for:
Setting Up Shipping Freight Rules
As a store admin, you can configure the basis of the shipping cost calculation for products with the assigned shipping freight on the Free shipping and Shipping freights add-on settings page. It can be either the product's shipping freight only or a sum of the product's shipping freight and the regular shipping rate set for the customer's location.
