Perhaps I don't understand you properly -- why you need two categories? How is shipping charge calculated? Do you just have two rates (which your 1st paragraph seems to imply) -- ie If the total weight of products is under 10KG charge $5, otherwise charge $10? ... > How would you code this?

In which case, yes a simple if statement would suffice. > but it leads to other problems which I couldn't > de-bug.
