All e-commerce shipping needs are going to be unique. But here is a list that should take care of most scenarios in regards to shipping and tax configuration for WooCommerce for your WordPress site.
Shipping
-
Table Rate Shipping $99/yr+
This WooCommerce plugin adds more options for shipping and should meet most people's needs. It allows you to calculate multiple shipping rates for location, price, weight, or item count. This is a way to add a lot of extra options to the default base "flate rate" shipping built into core WC.
-
Advanced Flat Rate Shipping Free and Paid $34/yr+
Not WooCommerce but it offers a ton of flexibility. The free version offers some basic features with conditional based shipping pricing. (i.e. to charge different shipping rates for cart dollar amounts.)
-
