    Default Free shipping to contiguous 48 states. How do I add surcharge for HI & AK

    Hello,

    I offer free shipping to the lower 48 states & want to add a surcharge for Hawaii, Alaska & Canada.

    How do I set this up using the installed shipping modules or do I need an add on module?

    Thanks for the help.

    At the moment I just have the freeshipper module installed but realize I need to use another module.

    update:

    I have all my products drop shipped meaning I never handle the products. Read the readme file on shipping easy module and it is not what I need.

    I guess I need instruction on how I can have free shipping to the lower 48 states and charge for shipments outside of that zone.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    Do you have your Products marked as Always Free Shipping?

    Do you have your Products setup with 0 weight?

    Do you have set in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... that 0 Weight means Free Shipping?

    Do you just need to add a surcharge for Hawaii, Alaska and Canada ... and is it the same amount?

    What happens for people out side of the US 48, Hawaii, Alaska and Canada? Do you ship to those at all?

    Ajeh,

    Do you have your Products marked as Always Free Shipping? No

    Do you have your Products setup with 0 weight? No I have the weights added

    Do you have set in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... that 0 Weight means Free Shipping? No

    Do you just need to add a surcharge for Hawaii, Alaska and Canada ... and is it the same amount? Ideally I would like to add a 5% surcharge based on the price of item.

    What happens for people out side of the US 48, Hawaii, Alaska and Canada? Do you ship to those at all? I will ship to HI,AK,Canada and outlying U.S. territories.

    You could use the Table Rate table if they all have the same amount ...

    Set it up for Price and set the Zone Definition for the areas that you want to charge the 5% to ...

    Then set the Rate for Shipping Table this to:
    10000.00,5%

    Thanks Ajeh,

    Here is what I did. I set up 2 zones with the 48 states listed as continental u.s.
    I used the freeoptions shipping module for this zone. I then made another zone titled non continental u.s. & included HI, AK, Canada & Puerto Rico.
    Used the table rate for this zone. It looks like it is working fine.

    Thanks for all your help.
