Im using the community edition 1.6.2 magento. Im new to magento and spent already lots of time looking around for answers and tried to get the fedex and ups work.

task: My task is to set up different shipping rates for products. Depending of the weight and size of the products. Also of course not only in america.

  1. Is the functionality described already in magento? Or do i need a plugin to calculate the shipping rates for size/weight/country etc.

  2. If i need a plugin. Which plugin provides the functionality?

Thx in advance!

I use this Extension:

I import my Shippingrates with the CSV and very special cases i implement programmatically in the Carrier.

The shipping rates are calculated through the shippers APIs. So if, for example, you the shipment is set to be UPS, Magento will calculate shipping by querying UPS with the customer's shipping address and the sum of product weights in the cart. That comes built into Magento.
