Merchants struggle with static shipping rate ranges when selling products with significant weight variations. The current manual setup is labor-intensive and leads to inaccurate costs that negatively impact profit margins.

In China, most logistics service providers calculate transportation costs in the form of fixed fees+kilogram fees. If I set transportation costs in tiers of 0.1kg, it will be a very large workload
it is becoming hard for me to go with a static price range for different quality across different zones and it is affecting the profit margin and leading to loss in some cases.
