Shipping frustration

How the hell do I have products with no shipping costs and others (like books) with shipping costs. I set up the different shipping cost (i.e., no flat fee, versus costs for books), but under the products, I see no options for type of shipping (that is one of the shipping options). Very frustrating. Please advise. Thank you.

Just ran into the same issue.
I have one Product which I want to ship for free.

Currently, I have a price-based shipping implemented.

→ Free shipping from 22€

Now I have a christmas product for 20€ which should include shipping. Any Ideas?
