Create two packages: one for fragile items, one for non-fragile.
Set shipping for fragile items to $20 × quantity, and for non-fragile items to $10 × quantity.
If a customer buys 2 fragile and 3 non-fragile items, they’ll see:
Package 1: Fragile items $20 × 2 = $40
Package 2: Non-fragile items $10 × 3 = $30

Reviews
Works as advertised...

Outstanding Support from Rajesh!
By 
Rajesh went above and beyond to help me resolve a complex shipping issue on my WooCommerce site. He was incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the entire process. What impressed me the most was his dedication; he stuck with the problem until it was fully solved and made sure everything was working exactly as it should. His communication was professional, and genuinely friendly. I’m really grateful for his support and highly recommend both the plugin and the team behind it.
Works Well
By 
This plugin meets our needs for our complex shipping needs!
FANTASTIC Plugin, it really enables me to custom tailor my business.
By 
I can't upload a screenshot to show this, but it allows me to easily split orders and push them through toto the correct shipping system.
This would be a 5-Star rating if the documentation about how to do things were a little better.
For example, I am a FFL Dealer, meaning I must take special actions to ship a firearm. That means anytime there is a firearm in an order - in particular when it is combined with a non-restricted item - there will be at least two shipments. Sometimes more, such as when an item is ordered that isin stock here at the store, a firearm is ordered, and a piece of gear that is not-restricted, but will be drop shipped from a warehouses also ordered. This means I have *three* separate shipments, each one of which has its own shipping rate. One of whch is even calculated! That's a fairly simple situation too.
I believe this can handle all of that, though it takes some backend coding to make it all happen. Stuffing MetaData into the order to know what goes where.
The reason this is currently 4-star instead of five is that defining those rules, and the way they interact, is overly complex right now. So much so, that I at least, have to keep a paper matrix of what has to happen. And sometimes, in edge cases in particular, it still goes unexplainably wrong.
I am looking forward to the next version, which I think will be a little smoother to use.:)
But at the end of the day, it is plain that I could not operate without this. Just more documentation, and API documentation.
Parfait

Plugin idéal pour notifier des prix de transport par catégorie

Plugin excelente. Parabéns ao desenvolvedor.
Shipping fees based on custom field
By 
This was very helpful to my needs, I used it to add shipping fees based on custom field. I recommend it.
Used for shipping rates linked to product quantity and zone
By 
Only used for shipping rates linked to product quantity and customer zones after trying several other plugins.
Interface quite easy to configure. Does the job. Pay attention to taxes selection to be consistent within Woocommerce.
So very good value for now. Approved.
Easy to use and does what it says
By 
Easy to use and does what it says. Recommended!
This Plugin should be your Absolute "Go To"
By 
Anyone that has had to deal with multiple shipping origins with myriads of overlapping shipping zones, etc should definitely put this at the top of their "Must Have Tool" list.
Our site deals with, currently 4, different dropshippers. Originiating from different countries to boot. Each with their own shipping zones (which overlapped others), classes, rules, etc. Straight out of the box, "Conditional shipping & Advance Flat rate shipping rates / Flexible shipping for WooCommerce shipping", was more than able to meet our needs. When we found ourselves in the position of having to add yet another dropshipper that created conflicts with everything else, Tech Support stepped in and was able to handle the issue quickly, professionally, adeptly and completely.
This company went above and beyond to help us tweak and customize to meet our needs; and we are grateful. There aren't many companies around that "mean it" these days. And, these guys/gals definitely set the bar for "meaning it".
Get their plug in. It will only enhance your business model and help you achieve what you want to achieve.
