But I could be wrong. Check local listings. I said more complicated because it was easiest to explain. We have a lot of considerations because we have some hazmat items, which can be shipped via some services to some places and not to others. So we have a complicated four-table lookup, and now the weight is calculated as part of the larger shipping cost calculation system. As Kevin pointed out, I only intended the script as an example.
