God you are sick.. Okay, no I am jealous :)

I will attempt to implement this. It does look 90% foreign to me though.

What is odd is, I was doing it this way.

[raw_subtotal] would return $125.00 (which was correct).

so I would put.
[currency][calc][raw_subtotal]*.10[/calc][/currency]

It returns $0.00
the one shipping method is 10% of the total, another one is 15% and 
one is 30%. but also there is a minimum amount. Just odd it doesn't 
work :(
