Flat rate has been working like a champ. But apparently I don't have it set correctly.
Everything is great until multiple of each item is ordered, the shipping rate does not go up at all.

What I'd like is:
for one item shipping be X amount,
and for each N items added, the shipping rate goes up by Y amount.

Help please.

If you've got both the base rate and the default product rate set for your flat rate method, then your products might be overriding the product rate with 0. Go through and check your products' shipping settings. I think I need to fix the way that all works so it's easier to deal with.

I believe I have both the base rate and default rate set...so these shouldn't be?

Which one should be set the base rate OR the default rate??

I've attached a screen shot of my settings.

Hmm... With those settings, the first product should cost $25 to ship, and two should cost $35. Each additional product would add $10 to shipping. I was worried you had a 0 on the product form, as opposed to a blank.

I wish that was happening. I just had an order for 6 items, yet shipping only charged once.

Any other ideas on why my shipping is not getting multiplied?
