Amelie,

I'm not sure what problems you may encounter with 4.x but here is a sample
for price based shipping that I use for some 3.x catalogs (patched for some
security issues specific to pre 4.0 Minivend).

It should work just fine for your shipping needs:

code	description	criteria	min	max	formula
0	No shipping	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	99999999	e No shipping mode selected.
default	No shipping	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	99999999	0

us_Std	Standard US	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	0	e Nothing to ship!
us_Std	Standard US	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	24.99	f [subtotal noformat=1] *
.15 + 2.5
us_Std	Standard US	[subtotal noformat=1]	25	49.99	f [subtotal noformat=1] * .15
us_Std	Standard US	[subtotal noformat=1]	50	99999	e Free shipping!

us_Rush	Rush Delivery	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	0	e Nothing to ship!
us_Rush	Rush Delivery	[subtotal noformat=1]	0	24.99	f [subtotal noformat=1]
* .3 + 2.5
us_Rush	Rush Delivery	[subtotal noformat=1]	25	49.99	f [subtotal
noformat=1] * .3
us_Rush	Rush Delivery	[subtotal noformat=1]	50	74.99	f [subtotal
noformat=1] * .25
us_Rush	Rush Delivery	[subtotal noformat=1]	75	99.99	20.00
us_Rush	Rush Delivery	[subtotal noformat=1]	100	99999	e Free shipping!


NOTE: this probably wrapped in the email, but of course should be one line
for each. For the most part it looks like you simply needed to use
[subtotal noformat=1] for the criteria in your file.
