    Default Setting minimum charge for USPS Shipping

    Hello,

    I've been trying to figure out how to set a minimum charge for my USPS shipping. I do not want to add a handling fee on because obviously this will be added to all orders. Since my dropshipper does a $8.00 minimum shipping amount, i would also like to have this. Could someone please explain to me how and where I can do this?

    Thank you so much in advance!

    Regina

    What about doing zone rates? I don't know what you sell to see if this is feasible or not for your situation?

    What shipping methods on USPS are you using?

    Are you wanting this Minimum Charge on *all* methods that are not already >= $8.00 for everyone regardless of US or International?

    I don't know too much about zone rates and I would like this to be on all shipping methods but I am most concerned about the USPS method since that is what I am currently using. Thank you so much!!!

    You could edit the module:
    /includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

    by adding the code in RED:
    Code:
    // switch comment marks to show $hiddenCost: from quote title
    $show_hiddenCost =  ' $hiddenCost: ' . $hiddenCost;
    //$show_hiddenCost = '';
    
    // bof: force minimum of $8.00
    if ($cost < 8.00) {
      $cost = 8.00;
    }
    // eof: force minimum of $8.00
    
              $methods[] = array('id' => $type_rebuilt,
                                 'title' => $title . $show_hiddenCost,
                                 'cost' => $cost,
                                 'insurance' => $usps_insurance_charge,
                                );

    Thank you so much!! This worked:) BTW... I asked for a quote from someone to do this for me and was quoted $80/hr and it would take 2 hours. I can't tell you how thrilled I am that I pushed ahead and asked questions.

    Ajeh is asking that when shipping anything/everything via USPS regardless of size, destination, speed, etc. That if USPS is being used do you want the minimum charge to be $8.00?
