FREE Shipping WITH Other Paid Express Shipping Options?

[sle39lvr]

For example, If I mark an item 'FREE SHIPPING always' in product info edit page in admin, it only gives FREE Shipping for the customer.

What if I want to give other EXPRESS Shipping options along with FREE Shipping? Is this possible without an add-on?

Thanks in advance.

When the Product is marked as Always Free Shipping is that for *everyone* in the world?

What shipping module(s) are you using?

[sle39lvr]

I am using included, stock, shipping modules.

FREE SHIPPING and
United Parcel Service

I want to make FREE SHIPPING only in the USA

When shipping these Always Free Shipping products from the US, you want them to see:
Free Shipping
UPS

and when shipping from outside the US you want customers to only see:
UPS

correct?

And is the US *all* of the US meaning ALL 50 States, DC, US Territories and Islands? Or, is the US the US States 48 and DC? or is the US the US 50 States and DC?

correct
just lower 48.

You could look at post #25 on:

and adapt the code for your needs ... or yell if you get lost ...

Zone Definitions will help built the US 48 and DC:

Ajeh, Thanks for your input on this thread! I tried what's in those links. Didn't work, so I am sure I did something wrong. If you don't mind, let me please elaborate:

What I am using:
-Ceon Advanced Shipper v5.0.2 (I can fall back to regular UPS if I have to)
-FREE Shipping

What I am trying to do:
-FREE Shipping (marked FREE inside of product details panel) only in lower 48.
-On FREE Shipping items, offer express shipping options

What I tried so far
1. Created new zone definitions from here:
http://www.zen-cart.com/content.php?...ne-definitions

-Created the US Continental 48 and DC
-They were created successfully.
-in Free Shipping module, selected that zone as only offer free module in that zone.

2. Went to your link:
http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...92#post1234992

-Edited /includes/classes/shipping.php

 function calculate_boxes_weight_and_tare() {
    global $total_weight, $shipping_weight, $shipping_quoted, $shipping_num_boxes;

// Always Free Shipping added back except for US 48 plus DC zone_id = 21
// bof: allow 1 zone only for Always Free Shipping
    global $db, $order, $cart;
        $valid_zone_id = 21;
        $check_flag = false;
        $check = $db->Execute("select zone_id from " . TABLE_ZONES_TO_GEO_ZONES . " where geo_zone_id = '" . $valid_zone_id . "' and zone_country_id = '" . $order->delivery['country']['id'] . "' order by zone_id");
        while (!$check->EOF) {
          if ($check->fields['zone_id'] < 1) {
            $check_flag = true;
            break;
          } elseif ($check->fields['zone_id'] == $order->delivery['zone_id']) {
            $check_flag = true;
            break;
          }
          $check->MoveNext();
        }

        if ($check_flag == false) {
          $total_weight += $_SESSION['cart']->free_shipping_weight;
        }
// eof: allow 1 zone only for Always Free Shipping
// Always Free Shipping added back except for US 48 plus DC zone_id = 21

    if (is_array($this->modules)) {

-Next step of editing this:
Since I am using AdvancedShipper, instead of FLAT Rate in your directions, I looked for this in advanced shipper module, didn't find:

      // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
//      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
        $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
//      }

Neither I could find this:

// class methods
    function quote($method = '') {
      global $order;

global $shipping_weight;
//echo 'Flat $shipping_weight: ' . $shipping_weight . ' $total_weight: ' . $total_weight . '<br>';
if ($shipping_weight > 0) {
      $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                            'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_TITLE,
                            'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                     'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_TEXT_WAY,
                                                     'cost' => MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_COST + $chk_weight_charge)));
}

      if ($this->tax_class > 0) {

So these are the issues I am having. Thanks in advance.

I do not use the advanced shipping add on, so I really am not sure what code changes might be required for that ...

Perhaps you will need to ask where you got that add on to see how to do this, either that, or perhaps someone who is using that add on might know about customizations for it for managing Free Shipping and additional shipping options ...

What if I go back to default UPS? Would your method work with the included UPS module?

[Ajeh]

It should work with UPS or USPS or any of the shipping modules ...
