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

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. Make the restrictions to be flexible and get applied only when necessary.

For example it is illegal to ship certain products internationally. Native Magento international shipping restrictions allow you block 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 quote.

Limit shipping methods only when necessary

Use any combination of conditions based on store views, customer groups, order and product attributes. 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.

Create shipping restrictions based on Magento shipping weight, order total, 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.

Use customer attributes for creating shipping rules

Along with product attributes you can apply customer attributes for shipping rule conditions. Various attributes concerning customer group, date of user registration, date of birth, gender, name and many others are at your service. Thereby you're able to set up special shipping conditions for individual customers.

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, Magento free shipping will not apply to such order, as subtotal after discount would be less than 100.

Conditions "starts from" and "ends with"

Now you can preset your Magento to restrict shipping by postcode. For example, you can specify that a restriction should apply to all zip codes starting from '123' or ending with 'XYZ'.

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.

Restrict shipping on particular days

Now you've got the opportunity to choose particular days of the week to restrict shipping with the rule.

Specify shipping method as carrier::method

With new shipping limit option you can restrict only particular shipping methods of a certain carrier. For example, you can work with DHL but restrict DHL::ground methods.

Restrict shipping methods for custom regions

Now you can create custom groups countries and specify shipping restrictions for the whole region with just one rule.

Restrict or allow shipping with coupon

Now you can specify restrictions that will apply when your customers use coupons. Let’s say you have a possibility of free shipping in your store, and you have implemented coupons for your customers to get them to purchase more. With shipping restrictions module in this situation you can implement 2 scenarios:

• Allow your Magento to remove free shipping when the coupon is used
• If you don’t usually ship for free, you can offer your customers free shipping as a bonus when they use coupons
