…create special shipping for a particular item/SKU?

macsmart Total Posts: 29 Joined: 2007-08-31 Greensboro, NC Ignore user	I currently have flat rate shipping set at $15/item (all similar items). I’d like to set the shipping price for a promo item (which will be free via a catalog price rule) to $5.00. Is it possible to do something like this on the product/SKU level? The ideal situation is that the item appears free and the shipping is $5… Thanks!

In reality, it’s no big deal if each item is free as long as the shipping is $15. If other products are in the cart: Promo item: FREE + $5 shipping Other item 1: $x (Item cost) + $15 shipping Other item 2: $x (Item cost) + $15 shipping Other item 3: $x (Item cost) + $15 shipping Thanks for the quick reply, Moshe!

The issue I’ve found is if I make a catalog coupon for a flat $30 (the item is normally $20), I run into issues with negative prices and negative tax. Add this to your cart to see this in action: http://shop.williammangumfineart.com/catalog/product/view/s/o-christmas-tree-2007-complimentary-mini-print/id/187/ (Use zip 27408 to estimate shipping/tax) Turns out to be quite a mess…

macsmart Total Posts: 29 Joined: 2007-08-31 Greensboro, NC Ignore user	@Moshe: I’ve tried a Shopping Cart Price Rule, and every combination of both types of rules I can think of, and nothing is working out to a total of $5. If the “free shipping” option in “Shopping Cart Price Rules” would override the default setting for free shipping, that would even be OK… I’d just adjust the item price to $5. But since I have the free shipping option turned off (especially since it would ship everything for free if I dialed it down that low for items under $1) by default, that won’t work either. I think the table rate I mentioned above is my best answer short of shipping price adjustment per SKU, but I haven’t been able to get that to work without errors yet… It’s always the little stuff that makes the most trouble… everything else is working great! Thanks for all your help!
