Product Assembly Cost for WooCommerce
https://wordpress.org/plugins/product-assembly-cost/
This plugin allows you to add an option to your WooCommerce products to enable assembly service and optionally charge a fee. In WooCommerce > Settings > Products you can set up the default assembly status and cost, the message and the way the costs are shown on the cart. If the customer chooses to add the assembly service, that information is shown in the cart and orders. The assembly cost can be added to the cart as a global fee, instead of at the product level, to avoid discount plugins to also affect the assembly cost.

Remove WooCommerce Related Products
https://wordpress.org/plugins/remove-woocommerce-related-products/
One of the things I can’t stand in WooCommerce is the inappropriate suggestions of related products. I have no idea how it thinks up some of the relationships between products. Sometimes it works, sometimes it’s way out in left field. This plugin will automatically remove the ‘Related Products’ section from WooCommerce products on the front-end of your website. Easy, lazy plugin that prevents related products from ever showing up.
