[ic] Shipping problem

I'm in the process of setting up a new store for a customer. They wanted
a flat rate shipping (based on price) and I got that setup and working for
them. They also have a few items that have a special extra shipping
charge but I'm not sure how to set that up. I've added a column to the
products table that holds the extra shipping charge but could use some
pointers, ideas on how to do this, etc. I'm guessing that I'll need to
write some tag or something to loop through the items in the cart and
check against the products table shipping field and if an item(s) has
extra shipping add it to the shipping total as calculated by the flat
rate method already defined.

Does this make sense? Any ideas, pointers, etc. on how to implement this
would be appreciated. Other than some basic modifications I've never had
to mess with shipping before and so far I've been getting nowhere with
this on my own :-(
