The standard 'demo' setup uses the value in the weight field (products
table) as the accumulated criteria. I guess you could edit shipping.asc to
use a formula in each range, and that formula could access some variable
factors, allowing you to adjust shipping calcs based on session-specific
data. I would give the docs section on shipping a good hard read.
Good luck!
