Shipping questions.. Is there a way to provide

That is where you get into having to customize the code.

 

You would need to setup a field for products_always_shipping on the products table

 

This flag could then be used to determin a variation to the pricing.

 

A new shipping module would need to be created that looks at the $total of the cart and when over your set amount, it would not include the weight of those products to the shipping weight if based on weight or to the product count if based on count.

 

If the cart does not have any of these products in there, then the regular shipping methods run.

 

If the cart has products that are marked always shipping, then the adjusted weight of the cart is used, or adjusted item count.

 

What shipping modules would you be using for the products that are always shipping?

Is there a practical way to set up the shipping mod for:

 

$2.50 shipping for 1rst item

 

Then

 

$1.50 for each add'l item?

Along the same lines...

Running OSC 2.2MS1

I enable the free shipping for orders over $200.00, and it works as designed. But I would like to give the customer the option for faster shipping methods if they would like to pay for it.

IE UPS Ground would be free, but 1 day air would be $15.00 or what have you. Any ideas on how to do this?

This is where a few custom shipping options are handy.

 

1 a free shipping module that only shows when the $total is >= $200

 

2 a priority shipping that even though the order is >= $200 still shows to let the user select that option.

 

3 Normal shipping modules for when order $total < $200 and free shipping would not show because order $total is < $200 and priority shipping would not show because $total < $200

 

Using the setting that orders over $200 are free stops you from doing this unless you write some shipping modules to handle this.

 

After I get done with Attributes Sorter and Copier Upgrades and Quantity Controller Upgrades ... I will look into adjusted $total, adjusted weight and adjusted item count to work with the shipping modules and a way to manage free shipping with priority options.
