    Default adding attributes to shipping

    I am set up with two zones. Us and Canada.
    Same table rate(price) for both but Canada has a $10 handling fee.
    This is ok.
    Now what I am hoping to achieve is to add the possibility of choosing one day, two day or standard shipping. It is simply an extra handling fee for one or two day shipping. Same whatever the price or country.
    What is the best way to do this?
    Help much appreciated.

    The best way to achieve this is to create CLONES (copies) of your shipping module. In your case, you will need the original module and TWO more clones.

    There is quite a bit on cloning shipping modules on this forum. Try searching for "clone shipping".

    Thanks for that.
    I have duplicated the language and module files zone.php.
    Renamed them and renamed all the Constants accordingly.
    Do I need to make any SQL changes?
    A bit lost in the forums here.
    Searching but no clear instructions on cloning.
    Help much appreciated

    No SQL changes (alterations to database) are necessary.

    When you have created your clones (and MADE SURE your php edits are 100% clean!), simply FTP them to the site and install them as new shipping modules in the admin panel.

    I made the clones successfully but somehow the shipping calculation isn't happening in the clones even though they show the correct prices in the estimator and at the choose shipping part of check out. I must have missed something. Any ideas?
