    help question FREE SHIPPING with Overnight Express Shipping Option

    Hi Newbie here,
    I currently offer FREE SHIPPING only on my Zen Cart Store.

    I need to offer a second Shipping Option: Overnight Express Shipping for $39.00

    I have no idea how to make this work - I've research and tried everything but have not been successful at setting this up.

    Can anyone out there help a Newbie ??
    Thanks for any help you can give!

    That's a tough one. I just went and looked at all the shipping options and nothing sounds like it will work right. The only way I can see to do it is to offer a PRODUCT called "Overnight Shipping" for the customer to select and Add to Cart.

    Which Free Shipping module are you using?

    Have you used the Always Free Shipping or 0 weight on your products?

    This can be done, but more information is needed to know how you are currently doing the Free Shipping ...

    Hi and thanks for your reply.
    I have all of my products set with "Yes, Always Free Shipping" and all of my products have "0" in the weight field.

    Thank you for any help you can give me!

    Setting the Products as Always Free Shipping YES will overrule all shipping methods to work with the Free Shipping freeshipper shipping module ...

    However ...

    As you are trying to do a Flat Rate for the:
    Overnight Express Shipping for $39.00

    You could customize a shipping module to NOT check for this feature ...

    If you clone the Flat Rate flat, you can customize the code to not do the normal testing for Free Shipping so that it can run ...

    Example: Flat Express flatexpress

    Copy the files:
    /includes/modules/shipping/flat.php
    /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flat.php

    to the new files:
    /includes/modules/shipping/flatexpress.php
    /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/flatexpress.php

    Change all occurances of, these are case sensative:
    flat to flatexpress
    FLAT to FLATEXPRESS

    Customize the code for the $this->enabled by commenting out the IF statement:
    Code:
          // disable only when entire cart is free shipping
    //      if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
            $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_FLATEXPRESS_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
    //      }
    Now, this will run at the same time as the Free Shipping freeshipper shipping module ...

    Nifty, eh?

    Default Re: FREE SHIPPING with Overnight Express Shipping Option

    Ok following on from this, I have got the following:

    1) table shipping based on value of order
    2) next day charge
    3) next day by midday
    4) next day by morning
    5) on saturday

    is it possible without changing 2-5 so that they incorporate the table costs, to allow the customer to select 1 (as this is default) and then also choose 2-5 if required?

    thanks

    kinsley
