Hello,

Is there a way to have free shipping to the U.S. only, and some other type of shipping (i.e., weight based) for all other countries?

Any help would be appreciated.

Of course!

If you edit the Free Shipping method in Shipping extensions, you will see that you can assign a geo zone to free shipping. Make sure that this geo zone only includes US, and voila!

To edit geo zones, you may need to visit the localizations area.

zooskriszta,

Thanks. I added a GeoZone named United States, with Country set to United States. But I don't want American Samoa, Federated States of Micronesia, etc. that are shown if you select "All Zones" under the Zones dropdown list. How can I set this up for just the 50 states plus Washington D.C., without having to create a GeoZone for each state?

Thanks for the help.

There's currently no way to do this. You'll have to go through and manually add all 50 states plus D.C. You can save a little bit of time by changing the default country to the U.S. as I describe here:

I've got my U.S. only GeoZone set up, and I set up Free Shipping to apply to this U.S. GeoZone.

Now, how do I set up weight-based shipping for International Shipping (i.e., non-U.S.)? Do I have to create an International Shipping GeoZone by adding EVERY country (except the U.S.), one at a time, to this new International Shipping Zone???

There's got to be a better way ...

Any help is appreciated.

Most of the Shipping modules have an All Zones setting, but I never noticed that the weight-based shipping doesn't. As of now, yes you need to add every country except the U.S. If I get time, I'll see if I can add this ability to the weight-based module and attach it to a post.

Johnathan,

Thank you. I guess I will have to hold off right now on setting up shipping. I don't have time right now to enter every country ...

I also can't believe there is no way to set up shipping rates based on total order value.

I hope a future version of OC will have some better tools to set up shipping.

Thanks again.

I finished updating the weight-based shipping module today, and added in an All Zones field and a Base Cost field. You can get it here:

Fantastic!

Thanks, Johnathan
