Is there a custom shipping addon that would allow me to charge orders a flat rate for shipping up to a certain weight?
We sell quite a few small items that weigh almost nothing, and we're losing business in situations where people want a $5 shoe shine but UPS ground is almost $7. There's not a way to make Flat Shipping go away, it seems, so I'm looking for a way to make that happen.
Is there a pre-configured solution for this problem?
Thanks!
Flat rate shipping below a certain weight?
Have you tried the ShopSite shipping by weight option?
You fill in the table with the weights you want and the prices for those weights. So for example you could set the first weight range from 0 to 5lbs and set the price to 1.00 then the range 5.01 to 10 lbs and the price for that to 5.00 etc.
Just be sure that all products have an assigned weight and that your table doesn't contain any wholes such as ending one table row with x.00 and starting the next row at x.10 since that would leave a gap from .00 to .10 and those items would get the last value in the table.

I've tried the shipping by weight option, but it doesn't really do what I want.
I'm looking for a solution that will print a shipping option of "Free Ground Shipping!" for orders under a certain weight, but then as the order goes above that, the Free Shipping option simply disappears.
With the shipping by weight method, there's no way that I can tell to say ">10lbs - no option" or something.

I think your only option would be the Custom Shipping API. As the name implies this needs to be customized to each merchant's needs. You can find the specifications for creating such an add on at:
