First off, since this topic is almost a year old, is this solution still working and/or is there a different/better option that has cropped up? Would especially love to hear from the original poster or balinor (whose name I've come across so often here!)

I'm assuming this is a solution where I could specify, for example, a 3-5 pound rate for Media Mail in conjunction with a 0-5 pound rate for Priority with the result for the customer being, again for example, a 0.0-2.9 lb. order shows only Priority option w/Media option invisible and anything 3 lbs and over would show both Media and Priority Rates. Whereas by default a package less than 3 lbs that I did not want to offer the Media rate on would still show the customer the cheaper/unavailable rate? Correct?

I'm using X-Cart 4.0.18, which I assume is very similar to 4.0.15 that the original poster implemented this on. Has anyone tried with success on 4.0.18?

I can locate where to make the 2nd change (in admin/shipping.php) and the fourth change (in skin1/admin/main/shipping.tpl), but have no clue where to make the change to includes/shipping.php (I have a file called just include, w/o the "s" but there is no shipping.php file under it?) and do not understand where to make the first change (Add a new row to the shipping table like this...) -- not sure where I add code to the shipping table?

Thanks in advance!

X-cart 4.0.18

you can apllay changeing in
shipping/shipping.php

in 4.0.18
When I apply that changes in shipping/shipping.php
no shipping method is appeared with any weight

Sorry, there are no available shipping methods for your location

This message appeared because new code not contain

weight_limit='0'

because in all method in my store weight_limit=0
I solve this problem by this
- with the method that I want begin from specific weight I put min value and max value of weight
- change the code in shipping/shipping.php
From

#
	# The preparing to search the allowable shipping methods
	#
	$weight_condition = " AND (weight_limit='0' OR weight_limit>='$total_weight_shipping')";
	 

To

	#
	# The preparing to search the allowable shipping methods
	#
	
$weight_condition = " AND (weight_limit='0' OR '$total_weight_shipping'<=weight_limit AND '$total_weight_shipping'>=weight_limit_min )";	

It's work good with me now

Thanks Mr. shan
