    Cancelling Shipping classes on individual products

    Right basicly I have been stuck in a rut with my shipping for quite some time.

    My website sells pool tables, and has 2 main shipping classes.

    "Delivery only"
    "Delivery and Installation"

    Some tables that we sell do not offer installation, but i can't find a way to stop customers from selecting this option, and manipulating the loophole that has been created.

    Is there a way to grey these options out on certain products, so i don't have to get on the phone every time an order is made.

    Many thanks

    Ship by Category (installable and non-installable) should do it for you if you are using V8 or better.

      i wish it was that simple.

      each table is based in it's own catagory depending on size.
      with the price differences on each table it's not so easy just to say installation or not.

      i suppose i could make a new catagory for particular brands...

      Thanks for your help Lee

      EDIT: even with creating a new catagory for the non-installable tables, the zone/class remains the same. i still can't cancel out certain classes to shape the catagory.

        I'm a bit confused, what difference does it make what it costs? You assign a 'shipping' category to each product, setting whether it can be installed or not, how does that get affected by price? it is you putting a simple true/false setting on the product with regards to its installability. Your shipping matrix then works on 'category'.

          Right this image shows the shipping selection on chackout. the ones that are priced at £0 are the ones i need grayed out. you see that installation affects price over all products, depending on size, weight ect. though the only variable used to calculate shipping is zone.

          i had an order through yesterday who managed to purchase a pool table and get away with free shipping by selecting one of these options.

          Now all i want is to either stop that selection from being chosen completely, or cause an error message should the customer try to use that shipping method.

          i can't just delete that option, due to it being used in every other catalogued product. it's only in one section that this needs to be changed.

          Hopefully thats clearer than before.

            i'm not sure how this is going to work.

            i feel that an addition to the base code in perl's shipping section would make much difference.

            for example...in psudocode, what i need will roughly translate as this...

            When brand name is (BRAND NAME) then
            option(install)=false **so this selection cannot be chosen**
            if option(install)=false then generate and error message or hide option.

            if that makes any sense to anyone...

              was this ever solved? having a similar issue and need to exclude some products from being posted worldwide due to licensing so stop customers from ordering from abroad - but only one product category.
