Quite often there are certain products which require a unique shipping method not applicable to other products in the store and it would be good if there was a way of customizing the shipping options at a product level.
For example a printer may offer signage or vehicle wraps as a part of their offering, these products would typically need to be professionally installed. A shipping method for installation isn't relevant for other products in their store such as business cards and brochures and equally the shipping applied to those products (typically a courier service) wouldn't be relevant to some signage and vehicle wraps. Therefore being able to applied separate shipping options to those products would be invaluable.
Yes this would solve many issues we are having on the customer experience side.
