Shipping Restrictions
by Amasty
Very often shipping carriers put certain restrictions based on shipping destination, product weight, product quantity and so on. It's very difficult to comply with these limitations without losing some important functionality.
Let's say you need to disable free shipping for Alaska and Hawaii, however with current functionality it is possible to limit shipping only by country. It makes no business sense to disable free shipping for the whole of the United States just to limit use of this method for Alaska and Hawaii. However it makes even less sense to lose money on shipping products to Alaska and Hawaii.
In some cases it is against law to deliver some products to certain regions. For example, it is illegal to ship alcohol to Texas from a different state. So to block shipping of alcohol to Texas again you would need to block shipping for the whole United States.
With Shipping Restrictions you can properly maintain such limitations. E.g. block use of methods only for certain states or provinces instead of whole countries. Use conditions with order total, number of products, weight, payment method, zip code, etc.
Restrict usage of shipping methods for particular products by brand, SKU, material, in other words - by any product attribute. In addition, you can limit access to shipping methods by customer groups and by store view.
Features:
Ability to block separate methods of shipping carriers.
Some carriers may have several shipping methods - ground mail, standard air mail, express mail, etc. With the extension you can limit only the method you need instead of blocking the whole carrier with all its methods. E.g. set short-life products not to be shipped by ground mail methods, which take at least a few days. You can choose whether to apply the restrictions only to front end orders or to backend orders as well.Make your shipping process both legal and effective.
The module enables you to limit usage of shipping methods by a huge number of criteria to make sure your delivery process is absolutely legal and meets your business requirements. At the same time you can make the restrictions to be very flexible and get applied only when necessary. For example it is illegal to ship certain products internationally. You can block international shipping for the whole catalog, however this would badly hurt your business. With Shipping Restrictions you can put the limitation only on the products in question.Set shipping restrictions based on order total, weight, zip code, region, etc.
You can lose money with some shipping methods when orders are either too light or too heavy. So it makes perfect sense to block these shipping methods for very small or very heavy orders. You can also block delivery to some distant states or provinces, e.g. Alaska or Yukon.Use product attributes to set restriction conditions for shipping methods.
You can use any product attributes when specifying conditions for restriction of shipping methods. For example, you can set products of some premium brand not to be delivered by ground mail.Conditions "starts from" and "ends with".
Especially useful for zip codes, so you can specify that a restriction should apply to all zip codes starting from '123' or ending with 'XYZ'.Limit use of shipping methods by customer groups.
Sometimes store owners want to give access to certain shipping methods based on customer group, e.g. free shipping only to wholesale customers. You can do this with the module.Restrict shipping methods by store view and website.
This feature can be very useful when you have a separate website or store view for each region or customer group.Set restrictions for backordered items.
For example you can block next day delivery for backordered items, as obviously it's impossible to ship the items you don't have on the same day.Create very flexible shipping restrictions.
The module enables you to use any combination of conditions based on store views, customer groups, order and product attributes. So you can create shipping rules which limit exactly what is needed and nothing more. For example, you can restrict flat rate shipping for Hawaii for cases, when the product is fragile, weighs more than 5 pounds and order total is less than $100.Our other extensions which enhance shipping and payment functionality:
- Payment Restrictions extension - with the module you can limit use of payment methods by country, state, groups, store view, customer and product attributes.
- Shipping Rules extension - enables you to setup rules for modification of shipping rates. You can surcharge, discount and even replace shipping rates based on a wide range of parameters: shipping carriers and methods, product attributes, order and shipping data, store views and customer groups and more.
- Percent Shipping extension - allows to calculate shipping based on order total. You can create multiple percent based shipping methods. For example, 5% of order total for ground mail, 10% for express mail and so on
- Shipping per Product extension - lets you set flat shipping rate for each product.
- Address Attributes extension - if you need some additional information for shipping address, you can add fields for it with this module.

About the Developer
This extension was developed by and is supported by Amasty
Shipping Restrictions 7 7Great extension, great service Had an issue with including HTML in the error message, but the developer replied quickly to my support ticket and helped me troubleshoot. thanks so much! May 6, 2013I Endorse This Product These guys surprised me. Extension wasn't working as I had expected, they took the time to look at it and help me configure it so that it worked exactly as I had hoped it would. A rare experience to get a good extension for a good price and top notch support. I wouldn't hesitate to buy any extension from Amasty. March 26, 2013Great features with great support This extension fulfills all our demands - and brings us some new ideas. Flexibility at it's best - with fast support if there are any questions. March 4, 2013Awesome!! My customer ship's perishable items and I was searching for a long time before i came across this extension. I am able to send product based on a category by next day air and hide other shipping methods such as ground or 3 day from different carriers. works as described. Easy to install and setup. Highly recommended!! January 17, 2013This is our fourth extension from Amasty -as usual the support & quality of the plugin are great! This module is very customisable. Used it to restrict free shipping & only show a 'special item shipping' on certain 'special' SKU's - the module was clever enough to restore free shipping if a normal SKU was carted, as well as remove 'special item shipping' when no special items were in cart. Error free install on 1.7.0.2. Does everything it says & more! Great work again chaps, thanks! November 13, 2012We needed to limit shipping to Texas (we are selling alcohol), but at the same time we wanted to deliver our products to the rest states of USA. This extension did exaxtly what was necessary, and didn't conflict with other extensions. And also thank you for support, Amasty! October 25, 2012Great extension, does exactly what we need. After sales service by Amasty was fantastic with accurate instructions for configuration and quick response time. Thanks so much Amasty! September 9, 20121-7 of 7- Q&A
