If my company has two products:
Product-A only ships via UPS. Product-B only ships via USPS. Is there a way to disable USPS shipping for Product-A and disable UPS shipping for Product-B?
Thanks and keep up the great work
Enabling/disabling shipping methods per product

I have been experimenting with intercepting the designated shipper in the Javascript but based on country, not product.
Can a customer order both product A and product B in the same cart? in which case, who would you choose?
Ordering both in the same cart would be ideal.
When it starts calculating shipping, perhaps it can list the UPS products and the price choices. Under it list the USPS items and the price choices.
-----------------------------------
2 x Product A
1 x Product C
1 x Product D
UPS Ground Rate: $12.70
UPS 3-Day Select Rate: $30.23
UPS 2nd Day Air Rate: $39.58
UPS Next Day Air Rate: $67.62
-----------------------------------
-----------------------------------
Product B only ships via USPS:
4 x Product B
USPS Ground Rate: $37.25
-----------------------------------
Total Shipping Cost: $49.95
You are a wild man! 
That had got to be an iterative hack to the quoteCallback(products) function in uc_quotes.js, right Lyle?
I have been wrestling with this issue since before Ubercart was started. 
Our restaurant equipment site sells a lot of stuff that ships by freight, but there are also plenty of products small enough to go by UPS. With freight shipments, at least, you can just put a little box on the shipment and not have it affect the price too much.
We've talked about it before, and the general consensus has been that having to choose shipping options from two separate lists is too confusing for the average customer. So we just present one list of shipping options to choose from, and reserve the right to ship the products as the circumstances require.
That makes sense, I hadn't taken customer confusion into account.
Is there an option to manually adjust the shipping quote for an individual item? Perhaps a field somewhere that deducts a certain amount from the shipping quote? I know some of our items are shipped via USPS because they are cheaper than UPS.
Thanks a bunch Lyle
I also need to be able to restrict shipping options on products, any suggestions on howto do this? Not having this option is a show-stopper for our site. We need to ship liquids ground only, but have all of the other shipping options available for our other products.
