I just did this, with something likeunitShipCost [showif [dest]=Int]8[/showif][hideif [dest]=Int]2[/hideif]The reason you can't directly set the unit ship cost from a form action is the same reason you can't set the price: if you could, browser could 'hack' the forms/URLs and change the prices/shipping on items at will.
