I also have a drop down box shipping different tire sizes. They can range GREATLY in size and weight. I need a way to have shipping prices change based on the option (tire size), not just the product...
I think that at this point the only way is going to be adding a field to the database to store weight with each product attribute. Then use this weight instead of the standard product weight.
Maybe we could put a disclaimer stating that weights change based on tire size (or size of bag of coffee) and that shipping costs will be adjusted to reflect this. Then we could just do that manually. It seems iffy, because then you would pretty much have to use the CC option in the payment modules and enter every order manually.
Another option might be to include an "average" shipping cost for that product in the marginal price difference for the option. On some orders money would be lost, others it would be gained. That is the LEAST accurate option though.
What does everyone else think?
