# How to set Weight Ranges for Shipping Carriers in PrestaShop 1.5

After [creating your Carriers](/support/edu/prestashop/add-shipping-carrier/) in PrestaShop 1.5, there are a few things that need to be set so you can charge shipping costs properly. If you are charging your shipping by weight, then setting different weight ranges for a carrier is one of those. This allows you to set shipping costs based on different weight ranges. Perhaps you have free shipping for all orders under 10 lbs, and $5 for anything 10 lbs-20 lbs. The steps below help you create the ranges you need for your store.

**To set weight ranges for a shipping carrier in PrestaShop 1.5:**

1. [Log into your PrestaShop 1.5 dashboard](/support/edu/prestashop/login-to-dashboard/)
2. Using the top menu bar, hover over the **Shipping **tab and select **Weight Ranges** from the menu.
3. From the **Shipping : Weight Ranges** page, click the green **Add New** button in the upper right corner.
4. This brings you to the **Shipping : Add Weight Ranges** screen. Choose which carrier you are working with from the **Carrier **dropdown. Then set the **lower **and **upper **weights for the range you are adding. In our sample case, items that weigh between 0lbs – 10lbs will need to pay the same shipping. Once you have done that, select the green **Save **button to save the range.
