I've had a scratch about the numerous free shipping posts, but cant find an info on this - it's 100% likely that I'm just being stupid & overlooking something, but;
I'm currently using zone/class & actual weight for numerous delivery methods & offering over 1000 items from 0.01 > 50.00kg around the globe & I have a specific range of products that I want to offer free shipping on.
My first attempt was to select the "exclude from shipping band calculation" option on these items, which does work to a fashion - but still allows the customer the option of the full range of delivery methods at £0.00. I want to carry out the free shipping on a specific service as it's not viable to offer free shipping on premium delivery services.
I tried the above because I didn't want to get into the whole scenario of fudging weights, but came to the conclusion that I might have to. So, I thought that if I set all the free products at 100kg & added a weight band of 100kg at £0.00 to my 1st class tables that this might work - BUT 1st class is limited to 20Kg & surely doing this would allow customers to order in excess of 20Kg on 1st class for £0.00 regardless of weather the items were free postage or not?
To sort that out a thought that I would reduce the weights & have them at something like 0.001Kg, but it seems that that won't work either as the zone tables will only accept down to 2 decimal places (although the product weights will go to three?).
Any advice very much appreciated.
Thanks.
