Shipping Cost added to cart

Hi all,

 

I am trying to keep my shiping as simple as possible,

 

I am using a zones table.

 

I want to add a feature to the cart or seperate infobox that displays the shipping cost for UK,Zone 1,Zone 2

 

eg to look like this :

 

Shipping

UK = ?1.95

Europe = ?4.95

International = ?7.95

 

The shipping costs will change relative to the cart weight, as per the zone table/weight matrix

 

Why am i doing this you might ask ?

Well its a fact that 75% of customers dont even get to the checkout box unless they know the shipping cost.

Therefore I want to display the cost of shipping for products even for customers browsing the site. I believe that becasue customers dont have the time, they are more likely to buy if they see the shipping cost up front.

I would just offer flat rate tiered shipping, but its not really suitable due to the range of products i sell. eg some things are really heavy and cost lots to ship, but the product resell value is too low to make a profit.

 

Thanks to anyone who can help
