I need a cart that can handle some complex shipping situations -

I have one that I know will do it, but it has no "point and click" admin area, it's a real bear to set up and there are no templates available for it, just a dozen or so color variations. I can use it, but would rather not.

Here is what I need to be able to do -

First, have some outside "single sales pages" on other domains that will go directly to the specific item within the cart when a purchase is made. Most will do this, just want to make sure.

Next, and the main thing I need -

First - Shipping within the US. Both ground and Priority, with price breaks by Selling Price, not weight or zone. 4 levels of price ranges, 2 methods.

Canada - Again 2 methods, surface and air. Minimum $$ for each, with a percentage of order total above the minimum.

Rest of the World - Similar to Canada. Might not even offer the surface as the packages won't float. But base minimum with a percentage over that.

Payment PayPal, possibly US merchant account, but not necessary. Could add Google if available, but not losing sleep over it.

I am no coder. I know some people can make anything happen, but I want an out of the box solution, or possibly a free or low cost mod.

Here's what I've got that I know I can use, as I've set up many of them. But PERL, not PHP. And a lot of work. One good thing is uses no external DB, no MySQL. Can import directly into cart, which is good if I decide to dropship and give away sites.

Here's a page from one of my hosting sites that show a bunch of different looks for the same cart. As I said, this will do what I want, down to the postal codes if I want.

Any help or guidance appreciated.

I'm pretty sure OSCommerce wouldn't need a huge amount of work to have all of that functionality. Take a look at some of the available mods first as one or two of those points I'm sure will be available. Otherwise get on rentacoder and you should be able to get it modded pretty cheaply.
