    Default Re: trouble setting up postage

    Make a Zone Definition for the UK Only and set the DETAILS for:
    Country: United Kingdom
    Zone: All Zones

    Make a Zone Definition for the Rest of the World except the UK, see this link for a quick way to do that:
    https://www.zen-cart.com/tutorials/i...hp?article=409

    Now install the Flat Rate flat shipping module for the rate you need for the Rest of the World ...

    Next, install the Free Shipping Options freeoptions and set this up with:
    Total >= 0 and set the Zone to your UK Only Zone Definitions ...

    Check in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... and make sure that this is marked 0 for No:
    Order Free Shipping 0 Weight Status
    If there is no weight to the order, does the order have Free Shipping?
    0= no
    1= yes
