No idea how an international shop providing multiple shipping options can exist 
without this plugin 🙂 This is a simple and clever way to provide some more information
to your customers about the shipping methods if they have a choice. For example 
you can have a longer name of the kind of shipping in addition or you can give some
hints about the expected shipping time etc. etc. Thanks a lot to Thomas for his 
great work with this plugin, we are very happy that we found it. It’s a little essential
gem.
