Weight-Based Shipping with Tiered Charges

Use Case Summary

A store owner wants to set up straightforward weight-based shipping rates in WooCommerce.

Their business charges customers according to the total cart weight using three clear pricing tiers. Lightweight orders are inexpensive to ship, medium-weight orders carry a slightly higher cost, and heavier packages require a premium shipping fee. 

The store owner needs this process to run automatically so every customer is shown the correct shipping charge at checkout based on the total weight of their order.
