Is this possible?

I'm stuck shipping UPS, which means if someone from Hawaii or Alaska wants
to place an order, I have to ship it by Air, obviously much more expensive.

Is there a way for me to give free shipping except if you live in 1 of these
areas? Or internationally?

I would appreciate ANY help!

Thanks,

Brian

There is no way to do this via the UPS realtime shipping quotes, because
UPS is
obviously not going to quote anyone free shipping. If you are using
ShopSite Pro
6.3 you could use the Custom Shipping Add-on api and have a custom module
created that would present a separate free shipping option according to
your
criteria (would not remove any of the other options from UPS, though).

Hi, Loren,

I would disable real time UPS and make it something like:

FREE STANDARD SHIPPING: Free
3-DAY EXPEDITED SHIPPING: $15.00
2-DAY EXPEDITED SHIPPING: $20.00

The problem with this is someone from Alaska orders and selects the free
shipping option, when the only way for me to get it to him would cost me
$20.

Any ideas? I can't afford someone to write a custom shipping add-on.

Thanks.

The only shipping methods that present specific shipping options to the
shopper
based on their location is UPS and the Custom Shipping Add-on (if the
custom
module is programmed to do so). The other shipping methods/tables rely on
the
shopper to select the shipping option, and all shoppers are presented with
all
of the options regardless of their location.
