Hiding Shipping Rate

[ebaobao]

Hello,
Does anyone know how to hide the shipping rate? Instead of it saying $0.00 I want to hide it or say TBD (To be determine). I don't mind using any shipping module. I'm thinking the best one to use is the table flat rate module, but I'm not sure how to hide the rate. I've read on several posts where other people were asking about this, but they never got an answer. Does anyone know? Thanks.

Anyone have any idea or workaround? I want to implement shipping methods where the $0.00 rate is replaced with (TBD) To Be Determine or Just completely blank. This blank charge should go throughout the entire checkout process. The tried the static list shipping module, but still cannot get the rate of $0.00 to disappear.

Let's say I was using the Item Rate item shipping module ...

You would see the code:

      $this->quotes = array('id' => $this->code,
                            'module' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_TITLE,
                            'methods' => array(array('id' => $this->code,
                                                     'title' => MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_TEXT_WAY,
                                                     'cost' => (MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_COST * $item_total_count) + MODULE_SHIPPING_ITEM_HANDLING))); 

That builds the output for this ...

You can alter that based on certain conditions to display something else ...

Hi Ajeh,
Thanks for the reply. I'm very new to PHP right now so I don't want to dig too deep into changing codes. Where can I find this file in case I would like to dig in? I'm going to keep it simple and leave the $0.00 in the rate but have additional text to tell the customer that the shipping is not free. Thanks for your help.

I am not sure what shipping module(s) you are really using as you reference the table flat rate ... and we have a Table Rate table and a Flat Rate flat ...

All shipping modules are located in:
/includes/modules/shipping

all associated language files are located in:
/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping

Hi Ajeh,
I'm open to any shipping module that will provide this resolution. Currently I'm using table rate to support people who want Ground shipping. The cost of shipping will be based on the order's subtotal.

I want to also offer Express shipping for Next Day, 2nd Day, and 3 Day, but I don't want the $0.00 to show up. Because even though I put a message in there stating TBD (To Be Determine), customers just don't pay attention and they still look at the price.

I was thinking of using the static shipping list module addon, but that still shows the $0.00.

So what module do you think I should use and how can I modify it so that it hides the rate for the express shipping methods.

Thanks!

Anybody have any ideas or suggestions to implement this?

Similar problems here.
Currently we are using the zone shipping option only, since none of our items have a weight associated with them yet.

I used the stylesheet to take the shipping value off of the site pages. That takes care of the $0.00 shipping value being displayed between the subtotal and total.
But the $0.00 is still quoted in the emailed order confirmation to the customer.

This mod looks close to what we may need.

But it still displays a $0.00 default shipping price.

Joseph,
Where did you make the change in the stylesheet? Thanks.

This may help you until a better solution comes about.
