The highest shipping charge is always the base shipping.
It doesn’t matter what order the items are added to the shopping cart, the item with the highest primary shipping rate will set the base shipping for the order.
The secondary shipping cost is if you add that item to a package.
“With another item” should generally be less than the first shipping price. (In some cases items can’t be shipped with other items, or the cost of shipping won’t go down when it is shipped with another item, so the shipping will stay the same for primary and secondary shipping.)
Every item after the one that sets the base shipping will add its secondary rate to the package.
An example:
| Item | Primary Shipping cost: |
Secondary Shipping with another item: |
| A | $5.00 | $4.00 |
| B | $2.00 | $ .50 |
| C | $3.00 | $1.00 |
If someone buys all three, Item A’s shipping is primary–because it is highest, and Item B & Item C will have the secondary rate added:
| Item | Shipping Applied |
| A | $5.00 |
| B | $ .50 |
| C | $1.00 |
| Shipping total: | $6.50 |
