Best Ecom Software w/ Flexible Shipping Rates

Hi:

I'm looking for recommendations for the best ecommerce software / script /service with very flexible shipping options.

I'd like to drop-ship a variety of products from numerous niche websites.

So I'm looking for something with a shopping cart that can have a shipping cost associated with each product.

I'm seeing a lot where shipping is flat, or based on number of products sold, or there are only a couple set fees. That won't do.

Also, if its a paid software or service, it would be nice to have unlimited, or a large number of sites allowed with a license so that I don't get reamed with fees across a lot of small, niche sites.

Thanks.

    Our system can send your customer's captured fields after confirmation of payment to up to 3 email addresses and you can define which fields are sent. This can be used to notify your fulfillment/drop ship companies of a new order.

    You can capture up to 50 fields of data for the order which you define including the standard name, address, country, phone etc.

    Our system also has an outbound api which you can use if you need with your shipping system.

    For those who want to also do print on demand our system integrates with two print on demand services for books, binders, dvd, cd and combo packs. For the print on demand options there are many different calculated shipping options for domestic and international.

    Our system also can collect various tax amounts based on US state tax rates that you define for states you may be required to collect taxes for and will allow you to export sales tax reports.

    Our system offers multiple flat shipping rates that you can set per product including US, Canada, UK and International.

    Currently our system is set up to sell individual products or packages for direct response style sales and not the "quantity" based shopping cart type orders which we will add in the near future.

    Currently we support Authorize.net gateway for merchant accounts, Paypal, and 2checkout for payment processing options.

    Let me know if I can answer any other questions for you by sending me a PM with your phone number.

      Josh:

      Please also send me some info when the capability to sell multiple products in one order is added to your service so I can check it out.

      I had some websites selling physical products using Joomla / Virtuemart that I've taken offline mainly due to the tremendous pain in the butt associated with figuring out shipping rates.

      (And because the drop shippers were changing their available products and pricing at a rapid pace. As if I have nothing better to do than spend each day changing pricing and products and checking inventory.)

      It was either jack up the prices and offer free shipping, or keep prices uncompetitive on the front end.

      Something like Mal's ecom, which is free, can handle shipping for multiple products in one order, but I think there are only a couple rate steps allowed. That means the shipping charge for each product needs to be about the same - which is unrealistic for many shops.
