One way is to use what I call the "pseudoweight" method - create a field
called pseudo (or whatever you like) then set it to the item's shipping
cost, then set shipping (in shipping.asc) so it looks like:
peritem Flat Rate Per Item pseudo 0 99999999 x 1.00
I call it pseudoweight because often when I'm not using the weight field
for anything else, I'll just use the weight field for the shipping cost,
and do it like:
peritem Flat Rate Per Item weight 0 99999999 x 1.00
It's using a fake weight value to calculate the shipping price.
Don't forget to add the new shipping method to country.asc
Good luck!
