Free Shipping - some items - some zones - need upgrades

[djdavedawson]

I have a few items on my site i'd like to offer free Ground shipping to the Inter-Contenental US.

I have set up a zone definition "ICUS" with the 48 zones I will ship these items free to.

I enabled freeshipper and set the zone to "ICUS".

This seems to work except for a few issues.

Issue 1 -> When someone outside the zone ie. Alaska Hawaii, try to buy the item, no shipping options display at all. It just says nothing is available.

Issue 2 -> I would like for there to be Shipping Upgrades available versus the free Ground Shipping.

I have tried a few different things and cant seem to get it configured to work.

Is there someway to do this ?

Thanks in Advance

FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper is designed for ALL customers regardless of Zone ...

The Zone setting is there from developers for easier customization of the code ...

How are you marking the Products for Free Shipping to the Zone you want to have Free Shipping?

What other shipping modules are you using?

I am only using the ups shipping module.

I am marking the products by changing them to "yes, always free shipping" in edit products.

Thanks

See if post #11 from this thread:

helps you in this customization ...

NOTE: where it references USPS you should customize UPS shipping module in a similar manner ...

Thanks for the link, I will try these changes.

Once they are complete, will the other shipping options be available when free ship products are selected.

For example, If, they wanted to upgrade the shipping to 2nd Day or Overnight.

Thanks again

There are a number of ways to make the shipping modules work at the same time as the Free Shipping ...

What is the ultimate goal here?
