In this example, we’ll create rates based on the order weight. If the customer's order is a standard weight and within 5 km from the store, they will get free delivery. If the customer's order is heavier, they’ll be charged a higher delivery price, and the further away they are, the higher the delivery price will be as well.
| Distance | Order Weight | Delivery price |
1. | Up to 5km | Less than 60kg | Free |
2. | Up to 5km | More than 60kg | $10 |
3. | More than 5km | Less than 60kg | $5 |
4. | More than 5km | More than 60kg | $20 |
