Hi,

How do I set up the postage to do the following?

1-5 books: £3
6-10 books: £6
11+ books: Free

Is there a free way? As don't have any money for a extension.

One way that I can think of without modifying the code of OpenCart shipping methods or using an extension is to use the Weight Based Shipping method. You could add a weight value to all your products (this is assuming that you are only selling books on your website). This weight value should be the same across all products for example, 1kg per book. Since each product is 1kg, you can set "5:3,7:6,11:0" in Weight Based shipping such that 1 to 5kg is £3, 6 to 10kg is £6 and 11 and above is £0.
