Re: Freight charges

I suppose your biggest drawback would be if you (a lot of ) partial
shipping:
Special charges are "shipped" once: on the first shipment, and then
invoiced.
So if you want to take care of an additional charge at 2nd shipment, or want
to charge proportionally to your shipment,
then you got some more thinking to do.
Also if you want to charge what is charged to you (by DHL,...) you ay want
to look into other directions.
If you just want to charge, well KISS solutions do work
Thats about it.
