About bundle rate shipping
Bundle rate shipping allows you to provide special bundled shipping rates when a customer purchases multiple items.
An example
A shop selling books, DVDs and CDs might have the following bundled shipping rates:
Books: $5 for the first book, $2 for every book thereafter. DVDs: $4 for the first DVD, $1 for every DVD thereafter. CDs: $4 for the first CD, $1 for every CD thereafter. In this case, if a customer were to purchase two books, their shipping cost would be $7 ($5 for the first book, $2 for the second book).
If another customer were to order 4 DVDs, their shipping cost would be $7 ($4 for the first DVD, $1 each for the other three).
What WooCommerce Bundle Rate Shipping Plugin does
The WooCommerce Bundle Rate Shipping Plugin is designed to be flexible, so you can define bundled shipping rates based on the shipping destination, the categories of the products being sold, or their shipping class.
You can also add additional layers for each category, adding a degree of complexity that you may find suitable for your store’s situation. For example, if you sell books, you could charge $5 for the first book, $2 for the 2nd, 3rd and 4th books, and nothing for any additional books purchased.
You can add as many layers as you like.

Eric was fantastic in providing his support for integration into a complex site. His service went above the bar and expectations. I was extremely impressed at his willingness to followup, test and integrate to adapt to the WooCommerce installation I had. If ANYONE is on the fence on this plugin, you should invest the money and do not hesitate. the product worked great and seemlessly on a site with over 887 products and 52 categories. Extremely happy!!!
Not using WooCommerce? There are bundle rate shipping plugins available for Jigoshop and WP-Ecommerce as well.
