Thanks for the table rate mod allowing count as one of the calculations for shipping costs at:

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/1718

This mod allows for use of a table rate shipping scheme, by weight, count, price, etc., and to give users and shop owners a choice of vendors for the shipping of products. This was created to accomodate a shipping scheme like:

1 Item 19.99 - USPS 1st Class Mail
2 Item 19.99 - USPS 1st Class Mail
3 Item 24.99 - USPS 1st Class Mail

1 Item 24.99 - DHL Express
2 Item 24.99 - DHL Express
3 Item 34.99 - DHL Express

etc.

This will create basic table rate shipping modules for FedEx, DHL, USPS, UPS, with the added feature of basing it on item count.
