  1. It would seem simple enough (granted, I am no "coder") but why not offer the option, when creating the inventory item, to CHOOSE a method/tier of shipping. I sell products that range from "will fit in an envelope" to "Third party drop shipper charges varying rates based on value/weight". I can't charge the same to ship a 1oz item as I do for the drop-shipping vendor to send a 3lb clothing item. It is a FAST turn-off to potential customers. If I sell clothing from a third-party drop-ship vendor like Printful who charges $3.99 + $1.50 per item on most of their stuff and use their base shipping rate in the SquareSpace shipping tool and the a guitar pick I send from my shop (less than 1 oz), because I can't specify shipping options at the "item setup", a customer would buy a pick and end up spending $5.49 BUT if that same customer also ordered a Sherpa jacket they would only pay the "add item" charge from Printful but I would pay what I shipped my the guitar pick for though local post ($3.95) plus the Printful shipping of 9.99 + 4.00 (shipping charge for coat). Doing the math, I will spend $17.94 shipping both items but the customer will only pay $3.95 for the base shipping cost plus $3.00 in "per item" fees, totaling $6.95 meaning I eat a loss of $9.99. That ends up costing me my entire profit margin . Please create the option for "per-item" pricing!!!!
