I am trying to have free shipping for all Canadian provinces except, Nunavut, Northwest territories and Yukon. For those 3 I want a fixed rate. How do I do this?

I was using fixed, cause it would be 0 for everyone except certain provinces which would then have a fixed rate of $100.

It is, how do I set the amount I want to charge to the specific provinces only and free for the others?

Since I haven''t gotten any additional tips, I''m going to explain what I am trying to do. I live in Canada, we have remote areas in the northern parts of our provinces. My company tag line is, "The price you see is the price you pay". I need to be able to have free shipping to all areas of the country, except those remote areas where shipping is 3 times standard. Is there a way I can display a price based on a postal code entered or charge a fee for the remote areas only automatically. I do not want the customer to have t a shipping method.

Hi,

Set field xshippingbystate to Yes
Set field xincludestates to Yes (this prevents any user errors on input)
Set field xshippingcalc to Lookup

Go to Advanced Settings->Shipping and Handling
Add a shipmethod called StandardFree which has zero cost. In the dropdown states list, choose None
Add a shipmethod called Remote. Add your additional cost and choose your state from the dropdown list eg Nunavut
Add another 2 records in the same way for Northwest Territories and Yukon.

This should add the shipping charge automatically after the customer provides their address.

Regards,

Carrol
