Always Free Shipping: Yes, Always Free Shipping

Question about
Always Free Shipping: Yes, Always Free Shipping

If this is clicked, does it apply to the Free Shipping Module Rules?

If I have Free Shipping and Free Shipping Options set to a zone that includes ONLY the lower 48 states and someone tries to buy it from Alaska, will it still try free shipping, or will it default to non-free shipping options like FedEx?

Thanks

What site did you do that on?

Did it qualify for free shipping or did you have an item with "Always Free Shipping: Yes, Always Free Shipping" Turned on?

i clicked on stuff for toys . com

I created account from alaska, and on check out the above was figured

I have Free Shipping set to the lower 48 for orders over $500. I want to offer Free Shipping on some special purchase items that don't meet the $500 requirement. I still want to sell it outside the lower 48, but want it to automatically revert to normal shipping rules.

At a guess ... could you tell us which of your over 5000 products might be marked as Always Free Shipping? :unsure:

Always Free Shipping is designed for Free Shipping for everyone regardless of the Zone ...

The Zone setting is there for developers to make customizing code easier ... it is not for limiting the use of it without custom coding ...

I do have code running around the forum somewhere that shows how to limit Always Free Shipping to a Zone ... but I forget where I might have put it ... :lamo:

Perhaps someone recalls this or you can search for it so I don't have to try to rewrite the world ... :cool:

Awe, you couldn't find it? Really almost 30,000 items if you go to all the sites, I couldn't fit in my signature, lol

Take a look at this one.

Had a friend create an account from Alaska and on the shipping checkout page, it said we are not shipping to your location at this time....

Ajeh, does this thread look familiar? haven't read to the conclusion yet

Time to go hunting for that custom code I wrote ... :cool:

Good hunting there ... fast too ...

That is my favorite way to do it, as then you have the choice of the Free Shipping plus the other methods for those in a hurry ... :smile:

It would be cool, if it would work JUST like the free shipping module, however, it could still display the other shipping choices if someone in the lower 48 wanted to choose next day air or another shipping option for the product.

Oooops, I see that was your target with the modification.

I assume there is a space in the FedEx module like this?

// disable only when entire cart is free shipping

The good news is that if you have a shipping module that does not have the test, it will not matter as that test is to turn off the shipping module when Always Free Shipping is true ... :smile:

Thanks Ajeh and haredo for your help!!!
