I would really like to have the ability to assign shipping options to specific products. I have a client that sells ATVs, motorbikes, t-shirts, hats, and more. Some of those items (like t-shirts and hats) are small enough to ship via the usual providers. But other items (like the ATVs & motorbikes) have to be shipped by freight. And at the same time, it would be ridiculous to ship a hat by freight. It would be great to be able to specify or restrict shipping options on a per product basis, so that the customer will only be able to choose a shipping method that would be appropriate for the item. My 2 cents. |

| I second this...it has long standing been a need for us to do this as well. There are some items we only wish to ship internationally via a certain method (USPS) and not others. |

| Me to, we are having items that can melt or spoil when hot. Chocolates for example. Would be nice to force a shipping speed for them. |

| Yes it would also be nice to be able to apply a flate rate shipping fee per item. |

Four stores and several years ago... ;) Glad to see others are interested too. I was being to think we were just freaks! (which we may still be, but, at least there are others with needs like ours) |

We have the same problem. I'm going to have to write the code for another custom shipping option to do it. I figure I add a new field called ShippingCost to the products table and go from there. I have a problem that I can't get any of the custom shipping options to appear. Anyone else find that? |

We sell a lot of calendars that ship via USPS Media Mail. However we do not want customers to be able to choose Media Mail for any items other than calendars. Any ideas? |

| You could offer free shipping on the calendars, and bump up the price by a couple dollars... |
