[DarkAngel]

here is one, I have tried it with a single perfume, 2 then 3 and it seems to be any of them--I have tried it with zone chosen as , Nevada, United States and then None and that error is on all zones

Look in Modules ... Shipping ... what shipping modules do NOT have the red dot?

Do those all have green dots?

Do any of the shipping modules have a Sort Order other than 0?

In the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... what is the setting on:

Order Free Shipping 0 Weight Status
If there is no weight to the order, does the order have Free Shipping?
0= no
1= yes

[DarkAngel]

Free Shipping Options order 0
Per Item order 1
United Parcel Service order 2

Order Free Shipping 0 Weight Status
If there is no weight to the order, does the order have Free Shipping?
0= no

forgot to mention that she does have free shipping so the charges will be for the next day delivery of orders only.

Could you number your Shipping modules Sort Order to either ALL be 0 or ALL have unique values greater than 0?

Are any of your Products marked as: Virtual? Always Free Shipping?

[DarkAngel]

when I set them all for 0 order I got a message stating it could cause problems with estimator (something like that)

no there are none set to virtual here they are are physical deliverable items.

She does although have an always free shipping image and does wish for US to have no shipping normally but will have the ability to have next day with ups to offer.

that is why I uninstalled free shipping cause I think you told her to have either free shipping or shipping options/ups but that just plain free shipping would cause ups not to be shown/used

or did I manage to turn that around, I am good at that

right now I have their sort order as options order 10--per item as 15 with ups as 20

[Ajeh]

And all the dots are green, correct?

As to Always Free Shipping, are you saying the Products ARE or ARE NOT marked as Always Free Shipping?

[DarkAngel]

yes all dots are green for those but I just checked one of her products description in admin and yes the always free shipping is ticked to on

While Products marked as Always Free Shipping will show the icon ... they also will only use the FREE SHIPPING! freeshipper module and all other shipping modules will turn off ...

What is the goal on shipping? Are you trying to give the shipping methods of Free Shipping and use another shipping module for other methods of shipping as alternatives for the customer to choose from on all Products?

If so, just have the shipping modules:
UPS
Free Shipping Options freeoptions

and set weights to the Products so you can get proper shipping quotes from UPS ...

To turn off the Always Free Shipping on all Products, you can run in the Tools ... Install SQL Patches ... the code:

UPDATE products SET product_is_always_free_shipping = 0;

Now if you want the Free Shipping icon to show on the product_info page, you can customize the template with your templates and overrides for:
/includes/templates/your_templates_dire/tpl_product_info_display.php

and edit the code:

<!--bof free ship icon  -->
<?php if(zen_get_product_is_always_free_shipping($products_id_current) && $flag_show_product_info_free_shipping) { ?>
<div id="freeShippingIcon"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCT_FREE_SHIPPING_ICON; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof free ship icon  -->

and change it to read:

<!--bof free ship icon  -->
<?php if(true || zen_get_product_is_always_free_shipping($products_id_current) && $flag_show_product_info_free_shipping) { ?>
<div id="freeShippingIcon"><?php echo TEXT_PRODUCT_FREE_SHIPPING_ICON; ?></div>
<?php } ?>
<!--eof free ship icon  -->

and that will force the Free Shipping icon to always show regardless of the setting ...

[DarkAngel]

Yes she wants to offer them the option of getting their order via UPS with 2nd day shipping.

she wants to set up a table of sorts with this sort of:

x1 item = xx amount of shipping
2 and so forht in the table


I already have the free shipping to be shown regardless...LOL

She does not want the shipping to be per weight but per item...as an incentive for the customer or several getting together where they live and all order on one order to save shipping coss and split the cost of the entire order.I shall try the instructions below and report back later.

Thanks.

When you say a Table of rates for the number of Items, can you expand on that?

Depending on the bottom line of what shipping rates you really want, this could be:
Per Item item
Table table
Zone Rate zones

more details the better ...
