The subtotal module by world zone allows you to specify
different shipping rates based on the method of shipping
AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the area of the
world the item is being shipped to. This module evaluates
the "ship to" country and displays its methods and
rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers
from selecting its lower rates which may
not be available for them. The module can also exclude
specific product codes from the subtotal calculation, i.e.
doesn't charge shipping for specific products but does charge
for those not on the exempt list. You can also
have a zero shipping charge for any subtotal range, e.g.
free ground shipping on orders over $200. If you
want to apply a percentage of the subtotal instead of a specific
amount, you can include the % with the rate for any subtotal
range. You can
designate specific products that cannot be shipped by a
specific method if they are in the basket. Hence, an
ineligible product can block one or more of this module's
methods from the shipping selection list. The module
will not block the display of methods from other shipping
modules if you have more modules assigned to your store. Also,
when you exclude products from the
subtotal calculation for shipping purposes, you can substitute
an alternate shipping charge for those specific products. When
doing that, you probably will not have a free shipping option but
may have dramatically reduced shipping for those items. This is
useful when you want to calculate most of the shipping based on
the subtotal (price) table but then have a few items with fixed
shipping cost. That fixed cost is an additive to the subtotal calculated
shipping cost.
