Example Table Rate Superset –

Consider that we have two sellers –

Seller(S1) with a product(P1) and seller(S2) with a product(P2). Now, if the sellers (S1) and (S2) have set up their superset shipping name as “Best Way Delivery” and their product’s (P1) and (P2) price lies between the shipping price range, then when a customer puts these products (P1) and (P2) into the cart and goes for the checkout the customer will see the “Best Way Delivery” method displayed and the shipping cost that is reflected would be the sum of the shipping price of sellers products (P1+P2).

Seller S1’s Super set –

Seller S2’s Super Set –

**Note: Superset has the highest priority so when the superset is applicable to the cart then shipping rule will not apply.
