MINIMUM OR SUBTOTAL SHIPPING BY ZIP CODE ZONE

The subtotal module by ZIP code zone allows you to specify different shipping rates based on the method of shipping AND the subtotal cost of the order AND the area of the country the item is being shipped to. This MIVA Merchant module evaluates the first three numbers of the "ship to" ZIP code and displays its methods and rates applicable to the destination. This prevents customers from selecting its lower rates which may not be available for them. The module can also exclude specific product codes from the subtotal calculation, i.e. doesn't charge shipping for specific products but does charge for those not on the exempt list. You can also have a zero shipping charge for any subtotal range, e.g. free ground shipping on orders over $200. If you want to apply a percentage of the subtotal instead of a specific amount, you can include the % with the rate for any subtotal range. The module will not block the display of methods from other shipping modules if you have more modules assigned to your store. Not compatible with the current google checkout module as that module does not use the customer's address to select the shipping methods available.

In the version 4.14-4.24 is the ability to add a message based on the specific shipping method the customer chooses. This message appears on the invoice and in the email. For example, since this is a ZIP code based module, you might want to add a message like "You selected local pickup of your merchandise. Our store address is 123 1st Street and our hours of operation are M-F 8-5:30." You can also change the default country from US and the length of ZIP code used from 3 to 5.
