Creating a Dropdown Menu for Shipping and Postage

[itg]

I need to created a dropdown option for postage at the Cart checkout stage.
I need to create a choice of the following drop downs
England Standard Carriage
England Special Carriage
Scotland Highlands Carriage
Scotland Highlands Special Carriage
Northern Ireland Carriage
Northern Ireland Special Carriage

Is there a way to then have an option to add a surcharge for Fluids which adds a fixed price?

Any help much appreciated ?

Thanks

Hi Simon,

You can do this by adding regions to the UK location in Advanced | Locations, and then adding new shipping zones in Business Settings | Shipping and Handling for each of these regions. By doing this you can set up different shipping tables for classes in each zone, and when the shopper selects their region as well as the UK location (similar to states for the US location) on the first checkout page, the appropriate shipping will be calculated.

Is there a way to then have an option to add a surcharge for Fluids which adds a fixed price?

The only way I see this happening is if you create a Component that is not set to 'optional' and linked to a hidden product. This product will need to have tax set to exempt or zero rated (Details Tab of the product), else tax will be added on top of the charge.

Kind regards,
