Adjust shipping process to your business needs and legal requirements.
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. In Magento 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.Limit shipping methods only when necessary.
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.Extremely flexible functionality for setup of restrictions.
Create shipping restrictions based on order total, weight, address line, 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.Ability to include taxes and discounts into subtotal
Let's say you would like to limit free shipping for orders with subtotal under 100. A customer can add products worth 110 to the cart and then apply 20% coupon. If you have this option activated, free shipping will not apply to such order, as subtotal after discount would be less than 100.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 in Magento, 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 back-ordered items.
For example you can block next day delivery for back-ordered items, as obviously it's impossible to ship the items you don't have on the same day.Online Extension User Guide

This 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!Overall extension rating
