My core business is selling large products that require third party trucking to deliver them (they can’t be shipped with Fedex, UPS etc.) however I also sell smaller items that can be shipped via a regular courier. The problem I’m having is the smaller items are sometimes times sold in conjunction with the larger ones, but they also can be used/sold on their own. To make a long story short with the standard Shopify shipping profiles I’m not able to assign lower cost shipping to the smaller products without the system combining that with the shipping for the larger items at checkout when they’re purchased together. If I don’t assign the smaller items their own rates they then are cost effective for people to purchase on their own because the rate assigned is based on the third party trucking company rates.
Is there actually a way to overcome this within the Shopify shipping setup or alternatively is there an app that would take care of this? Apologies if I haven’t described the issue in a clear enough way.
