In this example, we’ll create rates based on the order weight. If the customer's order is a standard weight and within 5 miles 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 5 miles | Less than 60lb | Free |
| 2. | Up to 5 miles | More than 60lb | $10 |
| 3. | More than 5 miles | Less than 60lb | $5 |
| 4. | More than 5 miles | More than 60lb | $20 |
