In ShipperHQ, ensure you have your Carrier set up with shipping methods selected/defined.
Steps
- Click Filters on the dashboard navbar and add a new filter.
- On your new filter, select “Whole Cart” under Filter Applies To in the Edit Filter panel and enter a name you’ll recognize (e.g. “Over 350”)
- In the Filters panel, select “Range” for the Weight filter, enter a Min value of 350 and check the No Max checkbox and Save. You now have a filter set up which will match against an order total with more than 350 weight in the cart.

- Enter a descriptive Name (e.g. “Surcharge 2days air when weight is over 350Kgs”) under the Overview panel
- In the Shipping Methods section, select “2day air” (and every other method that you expect to be surcharged when the weight is over the filter maximum threshold).
- In the Actions tab under the “Action to Perform” section set I want to… to “Modify the Price of my selected Shipping Methods” and In Order to… to “Surcharge and Discout Rates” and “By a Flat Rate”
- Enter a value for the flat rate and set And Apply This Rate to “Per Cart”
- In the Conditions tab, select the Filter you just set up under Weight/Price/Quantity Is
- Save and test your rate
Per this example, ShipperHQ will now surcharge 2day air when the weight is over 350.
