Free Shipping Question

[traytray]

All of my products are set up as Free Shipping, but that applies to standard shipping. I would like to offer 2nd Day Air and that would incur a shipping rate, depending on number of items ordered.

I was going to do a test order and then on page 1 of 3 - Delivery Information, it says:

Shipping Method:

This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order.

and the Free Shipping is enabled and I can't disable it, nor do I really want to. I just wanted to add the option of 2nd Day Air.

If it matters, I have set up Paypal Express Checkout, and Paypal is the only merchant account I am using.

What shipping module would you want to use with the current Free Shipping module?

My products are drop-shipped, but I have the option of offering 2nd day air. The price on that varies depending on the number of items purchased. I just enabled PayPal Express Checkout and I am looking to test a few pruchases.

Other than that, I don't know how to answer your question

Have you tried instead of marking the Products as Always Free Shipping to use the shipping module for Free Shipping Options freeoptions and set the Total to >= 0 then the Item Rate item and set how much per item to charge?

First, I am NOT live yet. Do I need to be live before any of these shipping options will work?

I charge sales tax for orders shipping to Nevada. Is this the same as Tax Class? Right now I have UPS set up as:

Tax Class
Taxable Goods

Tax Basis
Shipping

Shipping Zone
Nevada

Now when I do a test order, I am getting NOT AVAILABLE AT THIS TIME, Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.

Prior to making the change you suggested, when I did test orders I was on Always Free Shipping and the only option offered was COD. That was the only way I could complete a test order.

Now I have already signed up with PayPal Express and COD is no longer offered, and Free Shipping Options is Sort Order 1, UPS is sort order 2.

I am stopped immediately on Step 1 - Delivery Information, with the notation Not Available At This Time.

I hope I was clear with the above.

If Products are marked Always Free Shipping or 0 weight and you have 0 weight defined as Free Shipping, then no other shipping methods show ...

If you want Free Shipping and UPS rates then you need weight on ALL Products and have them NOT marked as Always Free Shipping ...

Then, use the UPS shipping module and the Free Shipping Options freeoptions shipping module with Total >= 0 setup ...

Now, you will see both UPS and the Free Shipping Options freeoptions on all orders where UPS gives quotes based on weight and destination for the shipping methods you have selected ...

If you do not want to charge by weight but rather by Item count, then use Item Rate and set your Item Rate charge to calculate the amount being charged ...
