Postal charges per weight

The items I sell are almost 200g in weight, and I can sell 10 of them and still be under the basic cost in the UK. How do I set OC so that if someone orders any amount up to 10, it would still be the same price, whether they bought 1 or 10?

Just use Weight Based Shipping - it's built in.

Thanks Paul. How do I set the postal price just per number of items please? For example 1-10 items £3 per order (not per item) then 11-20 items £5 per order (not per item)?

Set the weight of each item to 1 unit, and then use weight brackets in Weight Based Shipping like this:
10:3.00, 20:5.00, 99999:10.00
That would be £3.00 for up to 10 items, £5.00 for up to 20 items, and £10.00 for 21+ items.

Thanks Johnathan, do you think you could post a screengrab of that please? I think I'm possibly looking in the wrong places!

Navigate to Extensions > Extensions in the left-hand menu, then on the next page, choose "Shipping" from the dropdown at the top, and you'll find Weight Based Shipping at the bottom. You'd then set it up like in the attached screenshot.
