A minor point:

It *is* OK if the price ranges overlap, as long as you're aware that the
first found match wins.  The MiniVend code looks for:
   ( total >= min ) and ( total <= max )
So in the original example above, a $30.00 total will match $7.50
shipping, and never reach the next line. 

If you use the ranges:
    0       30      7.50
    30      100     10.40
they actually work the same as if you had used:
    0       30      7.50
    30.01   100     10.40
(assuming 0.01 is your smallest currency increment, which it may not be).
