I have been using this plugin now for about 3 years with my small online business and it has worked brilliantly without missing a beat. It was also easy to setup. Moving on now to the paid version due to my expanding needs.
Great product, great support

Had a problem (mostly a lack of knowledge!) in setting up different shipping rates for different products. Dependant on weight of some of the products, shipping needed to be free for the entire purchase, but this only applied if a particular class of products was over a minimum weight. I reached out for assistance, and Dan was quick to respond with exactly what I needed to clarify how to line it all up. Much appreciated, it’s working exactly like we needed it to. Thanks Dan!
