Plugin supporting different products combined shipping cost for one cart

Hi,

I am a newbie here (looking for help), as I am going bonkers trying to find a plugin or a solution for my shop that supports combining the shipping cost of different products in one cart.

My scenario is similar to this, that seem to have gone unresolved(https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/combining-shipping-totals-on-different-ship-methods?replies=8), and so far I have purchased 3 different plugins that seem to say they support this (but only to find they do not), one of which is a paid subscription and still can’t get what I need.

I find this extremely strange, since I have seen shipping plugins that are developed for more complex need, but it seems this requirement have been missed.

Basically, what I am trying to do is to sell different products that are supplied and shipped by different supplier partner that I buy from wholesale to stock my shop. For example, hypothetically speaking the customer can come to my shop and buy shoes that I personally stock and ship from own location (so call me supplier 1, that ship from X), plus buy jewelry (from supplier 2, that get shipped fom Y), and Knick knacks (from supplier 3 that get shipped from Z). However, they have added all 3 items in the cart that they picked up in my shop (from all 3 suppliers, including me). As supplier 1, I have my own shipping rate that I charge, and supplier 2 and 3 have different rates too and all 3 items will be shipped from different locations. All products weight are different as well. However, I only care about the shipping cost which is a flat or calculated fee per supplier.

With that said, I need to be able to add a separate shipping cost for all these individual products that the customer is buying at the same time and combine the shipping cost + product cost into one final calculation and payment during checkout.
I tried this by setting up a shipping class for each and using the advanced shipping plugin or table rate shipping to link to a shipping class, but none of these provide a combined shipping cost, only an optional shipping cost, so you can only choose one when you are ready to check out. While what I need is for all 3 shipping costs to be calculated as one, before the customer can complete the checkout.

Can anyone let me know if your plugin can do this or can you suggest another plugin for this? Please note I do not have multiple vendors that is selling at my shop, I am the only seller, selling several items from different suppliers.

Any help with this, will be greatly appreciated, for I am having a hard time getting a straight answer from the vendors of the plugins that I purchased and this is becoming really frustrating and time is of the essence. For I cannot market the store if the cart is not working properly, so I am dead in the water at the moment.
So coming to this forum is my last hope of getting some real help to move forward with my shop.

Thanks in advance for any help with this.

Best Regards,
Ms. B

P.S. If such a plugin exist I am willing to pay for it (for I have purchased a lot of great plugins so far that I am using for different functions). So I do not want to reinvent the wheel and get a developer to create one from scratch, if there is one already available and I just can’t find it, because it’s in a sea of others that are claiming to support this kind of setup, but do not, so its gets really confusing and hard to track the real one down. And I have lost so much time and money with this already…and getting overwhelmed.

However, if this is not available for Woocommerce, I am willing to evaluate the possibility of getting something developed if its feasible, financial wise.
