Hi Ian,
I have a similar problem and am trying to work out a solution that will handle it.
I have the same. i.e. items I stock, and items that I can routinely pickup, then others that are in other states that I would have sent direct to the customer.
I am trying to come up with a way of having a shipping cost per product and aggregated per supplier.
You can already do freight per product. I am looking at extending it to also be per supplier.
That way, if there are more than one item from that supplier, I'll want to add them togther and see if their aggregate weight means that they can be shipped for a single cost or a (cost plus item count * factor), rather than just adding up alot of freight.
That way I can get close enough to have an automatic calc.
I will want to have Aust Post & courier as ship options, so will have to work out those on the fly for the items I ship and then have a fixed ship cost for the drop ship items.
Not an easy task and quiet confusing....
I am a bit away from getting stuck into it, but hopefully will come out with something close.
Not much help for you, but I understand where you are coming from.....
