free shipping un USA and UPS or table for Canada

Hello Ajeh,

Have been woking on this for some time and all the questions here kinda help
but what I need to do is have the FREE SHIPPING for anyone with a USA address
and anyone with shipping to Canada to have it go to the UPS or Table as I can not ship to Canada for free.

I have the free shipping enabled and that works great until I try and so something for Canada
and I get this

any help would be most appriciated.

Do you have a zone setup for the US and another for Canada?
Are they applied in the shipping module configuration?

Maybe I need help there, If I delete what I have how should I have that set ?

Under "Zone Definitions" correct ?
also under the taxing, I will ONLY need to have it charge tax if the address is in state with us "Idaho"

Are your Products marked as Always Free Shipping or 0 weight where 0 weight is defined to mean Free Shipping?

If using UPS, do you have weights on your Products?

HA, they are as that was all setup before thinking about Canada.
change them All to Normal shipping rules ?

WEll I did just that just now and UP came the UPS,
changed my address from a Canada one to USA and UP Came FREE SHIPPING :-)

now to get it to TAX ONLY Idaho residents..

Glad that is working better now ...

On your tax issue, check the Zone Definition and the DETAILS for it to make sure you have set the ...
Country: United States
Zone: Idaho

so that the tax only applies to Idaho ...

Think that is it,

Also I notice EVERY PRODUCT :-( is set to NO TAX CLASS & FREE SHIPPING.
So when I updated the one test product to TAXABLE GOODS & NORMAL SHIPPING,
THEN I could change my address and watch the free shipping come up with any state in USA
and TAX coming up ONLY with IDAHO and other shipping NOT FREE coming up with county of Canada.

SO other that trying to get the UPS module to pull rates "I HAVE NO CLUE" the fundamentals seems in place
based on country then state if in USA so THANKS SO MUCH for leading me in the right direction.

Also hope this little bit can be read and help others a bit faster than what I found searching around the forum.

Thank you U2 most appreciated.

Erick

Estimate Shipping Costs
Ship to: meridian, AB 3067
Canada
Available Shipping Methods Rates
NONE

NO, no rate or anything, do I have to set a setting to tell where to go for the rates ?

You have to use a valid shipping address ...

Ship to: meridian, AB 3067

I am not finding the correct zip code for meridian Alberta Canada but I do not think it is 3067 ... :unsure:

HA! fancy that it checks the address, DUHH on me ...
yep got an amount. in BC Canada I just put my address as some paint store up there.

where is it pulling in the info ?

what do you do for rates with an order over the 50lbs mark ?
can you break it out into seperate boxes ? as that is how it will really ship.

UPS shipping module is getting real time results from the UPS server ...

You have to give it valid information to get the quotes ...

The boxes are based on the Maximum Weight, example: 50 lbs ... then the total weight is divided by 50 to get the number of boxes ...

For most, this approximation works pretty well ...

ok, how to set an Item into # of boxes then a total nubmer of boxes ?
for example this product is many 16lbs buckets,
how to tell it it is # of boxes and so much weight each.

re-write the shipping? :eek:

At this time, this is an approximation and somethings with be spot on and others not ...

Often, this can be managed by customizing the Product weight or adding Handling Fees or using the Tare Rates ... or in some cases, adjust the charges or management of the weight based on a products_id being in the cart ...

Ok, will do..

Thank you for youe help today, it is most appriciated. your the best

Thx,
Erick
