### 🛡️ Shipping Guard Core Features (Free Forever)

The free version of **Shipping Guard** provides the essential foundation every store needs to stop losing money on logistics.

*   **Smart Weight Thresholds**: Define a "Free Allowance" limit (e.g., first 5 lbs are free).
*   **Excess Charge Logic**: Choose between charging only for the "Extra Weight" beyond the threshold or "Full Weight" once the limit is crossed.
*   **Shipping Guard Protection (Insurance)**: Offer customer-funded shipping insurance at checkout to cover lost, damaged, or stolen parcels.
*   **Centralized Claims Dashboard**: Manage protection claims with a professional interface. Approve or reject with one click.
*   **Zero Emission Eco-Delivery**: Position your brand as sustainable. Allow customers to pay a small carbon-offset fee.
*   **Green Analytics**: Track your total CO2 reduction directly in the **Shipping Guard** dashboard.
*   **Estimated Delivery Dates (EDD)**: Display clear "Arrives by" dates to reduce support tickets and increase buyer confidence.
*   **Product-Level Fixed Fees**: Apply specific handling surcharges to fragile or oversized items directly in the product editor.
*   **Free Shipping Overrides**: Easily grant global free shipping if a specific "Hero Product" is in the cart.
