Call for shipping costs for certain products or region

Hi,
I need to find a way to add higher shipping costs to UK Highlands & Islands which would be the best way?
I have also been asked if a phone for shipping costs button can be added for certain large/bulky products for any region/zone. Is this possible?
Currently shipping is set to tablerate
Many thanks

You could install a second shipping method which would only come in to place when a customer from such region orders.

You can also add the request for quote module and make it so that module would be the only available shipping option if a specific item is in the cart.

Thanks for the reply and the idea it looks as if it will suit well. Just one point if anyone else reads this I didn't replace orders.php in admin/includes/languages/english/ I added the define('TEXT_RQF', 'Request for Quote'); to the existing orders.php. This works well with a region/country but no too sure how to make the request for apply a specific product, any guidance would be appreciated.
Many thanks 80% of the problem solved :smile:

Hi Can anyone help please.
I am having a slight problem with the RQF. It works well in that if you select a country other than UK you get RQF option only GREAT:smile: and if you select UK Highlands and Islands you get RQF only GREAT :smile:just what we need, BUT if you select UK Essex you get the option of the tablerate and the RQF not so great --- How can I make sure that the RQF does not appear if UK mainland is selected?
I also would like some guidance on how to use RQF with a single product, so if a selected product was in the cart regardless of other products the RQF would be the only shipping option.
Appreciate any help thanks.
