I have a customer who wanted her shipping to be varied in such a way that the first product cost one proce and further additions were each at a lower price.
So I came up with this idea, using the per product shipping module http://extensions.joomla.org/search?q=atinyteam+per+product
First product is 2.95 subsequent products are 1.00 extra each

Add your usual shipping names etc, save and go to configuration.
set the lowest and highest to 1 shipment cost 2.95
Add another this time set lowest / highest to 2 shipment cost total is 3.95 so put 1.975 in shipment cost
Add another set lowest / highest to 3 shipment cost total is 4.95 so put 1.65 in shipment cost
and so on
Basically divide the total shipment cost by the number of products to get the average, I have added it up to 4 decimal places with no problems and it should work in most if not all currencies.

Hope it helps
