In /catalog/model/shippping/flat.php find:

Code: Select all

	$method_data = array();

Insert this on the next line:

Code: Select all

		if ($this->cart->getSubTotal() > $this->config->get('free_total')) {
			$status = FALSE;
		}	

Or if you use VQMOD use the attached file

Because customers will still click the flat rate shipping option when free is available, then complain that they didn't get free shipping, then the store needs to do a credit card refund (as the full funds including shipping have been taken) which takes time (costs money), and makes the store look amateur.
