Allow Only (1) Shipping Option

Postby helli9 » Wed Apr 07, 2010 8:45 pm

I ship UPS on all orders. Accept when I ship to a military APO/FPO address, I use USPS. The USPS is less expensive, so when the option is presented a client will typically select it. Is there a way to limit the shipping option to only UPS unless an APO/FPO address is specified. Similarly, when an APO/FPO address is selected, is it possible to limit the shipping option to only USPS?

Thanks for your help...

For granular control of shipping options like this, Lexiconn's shipping module is a good option:

If you don't mind some coding, you could probably writer some Javascript for the cart's Check-it function to compare the state value and the shipping method and alert if they are not correct.

Also, are you using real-time UPS rates? I'm surprised UPS will return a rate for those zip codes (since they can't ship there).

Thanks Chris...

I just tested it again and you are correct...UPS isn't passing a real-time rate - so all is good.
