I'm going to be giving away free gifts with a certain value cart $150 or so. I'll also have free shipping with a certain value cart $65-75$. I'll be using USPS, UPS, FedEx on all shipping so rates are automatically calculated and shown. But I don't want the gifts to be a part of the free shipping ever. The gifts have to have shipping charged separately (even if the value doesn't reach the free shipping value, I want the customer to know that the gift is going to cost X amount extra in shipping so they can reject the gift if they want). Is that possible in OC where I can say always charge shipping for X item from this category no matter what? Or is that easily programmable...with a little direction from someone? Can a specific shipping be applied to a specific category? Or is this something that will take deep/extensive extension coding?

Or even...thinking outside the box if this extension exists....have the free gift category/page have something where someone can put in their zip code and the shipping cost of the items will populate. I know there are extensions where you can estimate shipping costs on zip codes, but I haven't seen them use the rates of the shippers I use.

The extensions that I see, as I understand them, don't provide for exactly what I want. You can either set individual items to free or paid shipping, but none take the whole logic/condition that I am looking for into consideration, and the ones that do customize conditions don't integrate with UPS, USPS, FedEx with live rates.

Any help or feedback appreciated.

The most flexible shipping extension I know of is called Ultimate Shipping: https://www.opencart.com/index.php?rout ... arthinking

Johnathan is usually incredibly helpful at explaining how it can be configured.

If that doesn't do the job then you'll need to pay a developer to do something custom.
