Anyway, if you are looking for an 'easy' solution, there isn't one. Probably the best way to achieve this would to create a special category for the items in question, and then modify the austpost.php code to exclude that category from normal processing. The means of doing this has been discussed in other threads/posts.

Needless to say, if the items are excluded from the normal processing you will then need to add an alternative postage method (or pricing) to handle their charges.

Hi Rod

I am beginning to realise my tendency to over-simplify complex issues. Must be the engineer in me.

Anyway I notice the Quantity Discounts module has code to exclude discounting on nominated products and categories, and IIRC also provides for alternate discount schedules. Other than QD, I am not aware of other threads/post discussing this issue.

For the moment, as a newbie to php/msql, I may rest content by attaching a note to certain products with unusual or exotic package dimensions that recommends ordering the product separately.

BTW Do you run your own shop? If so, I would love a look at it.

Best Regards
