I do consulting work mid size eretailers and shopping cart abandonment due to high/unpredictable shipping cost is a major issue.

This will require calculating the shipping box size and getting realtime quote from parcel carrier. I have used UPS/FedEx realtime quote tools along with software from Mozula Technologies to calculate the parcel shipping size/dimensions (see http://www.mozula.com) I agree with the importance of free shipping.
