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.

This module needs some work. It does not handle standard DHL shipping zones used by many alternative shippers. It is very useful for limited area delivery options such as a Pizza Delivery Chain with multiple stores in different cities to determine which store gets the order. Once it handles DHL shipping zones it will be a peach.
