Shipping Module Programming Question about weight and free shipping

[Ajeh]

To make Always Free Shipping only work for the US 50+ States ... you would first want to make sure it works with the USPS shipping as described in post #11 ...

If so, then you would need to adapt that code to UPS if you are also using that shipping module ...

Have you tried the customization on the USPS shipping module:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

and the Shipping class file:
/includes/class/shipping.php

If so, is the USPS shipping module working correctly?

Is the $valid_zone_id the number found in the geo_zone_id in table zones_to_geo_zones?

I seemed to have answered my question from above. Now, I've implemented to changes but I need to do one more thing. I still need to show all of the shipping options with the actual weight used in the calculations even though Free Shipping is enabled to allow the customer the opportunity to select a faster option if they want. For Free Shipping, we will select the most cost effective method whereas the customer may want to use Express and pay the additional cost. How would I implement this option?

What is the full goal here?

Do you want All US Customers to get Free Shipping plus the regular shipping methods and non-US to get just the regular shipping methods?

What shipping modules do you have installed?

[voltar]

Exactly. This way the customer gets to make the shipping choice that best fits their situation. My installed modules are Free Shipping, USPS, and UPS.

Does the US always get the Free Shipping Option regardless of Products in the cart?

[voltar]

No. Only the products marked as Always Free Shipping for USA customers have that option. Everything else should add the associated weight to the total.
