Maximum weight for flat rate

[mahlerosa]

Zen Cart v1.3.8a/v1.3.8
I want to offer the medium flat rate as an option but when the customer adds more heavy items into the cart that go over the weight limit for that box it still shows up as an option. How do I fix this?
Also, is there a way to have a minimum shipping amount no matter how light the products are?

Set maximum weight in admin/configuration/shipping/packaging.

I only want the maximum weight to be aloud for the flat rate box only. Not the max weight I will ship. In other words if they order a 40lb product I don't want flat rate box to come up as an option.
Thnx!

honestly, you shouldnt offer them a choice of box to use, just stick to normal weight and prices

I disagree. The weight is calculating postage to high. People who shop on line are aware of the flat rate box option. I don;t like being ripped off on shipping and neither do my customers. There has to be a way to fix it.

did you ever figure out how to do this?

I am in the same situation. I want to charge certain rates for certain LB brackets of the total order.

for instance 1 to 10 lbs - one flat rate
11 to 30 lbs another flat rate
etc...

any ideas on how to do this?
