We understand shipping options are limited and difficult.

Scenario 1

For retail customers we have free shipping set for any orders over $249 for UPS ground.

Is there a way to exclude wholesale customers so that they must pay shipping?

Scenario 2

We sell items that are UPS shippable (meaning under 150 pounds) and other items which are not UPS shippable since they are over 150 pounds per box. The problem is that UPS will still come up and offer next Day Air Service at a much lower rate than what a freight truck carrier as UPS would never take

Is there a way to mark certain products and force a custom shipping option for certain products.

Scenario 3

We also carry a bunch of small parts than can go USPS. Most credit card companies do not do chargebacks for orders under $25 and USPS can be a good alternative in these cases. For larger orders, they take up to 6 months for claims. Is there was way to force USPS for an order size less than $25?

Only through custom programming. Stock functionality won't allow any of that.

How much would this cost to implement? Would it be easy or hard to do?

I'd prefer to discuss that offline. I need to give that some thought in order to provide a realistic estimate. Would you please e-mail me at my site with your phone number so we can visit?
