Say I have an item that I'm willing to give the customer free shipping on that item but the customer also orders a couple of other shippable products with that item. Will the cart only calculate shipping for the shippable items or for all the items in the cart.

If not will this require a new module because from some testing the cart calculates shipping for all items even if the "Product and its derivatives are shippable option" is unchecked.

If you set the weight of the product with free shipping to 0, that product won't contribute to the calculation of shipping costs.

Just noticed UPS doesn't calculate the shipping cost properly if one item is set to no weight and no dimensions.

With one product that has weight and dimensions UPS charge shows as UPS Standard Rate: $29.17

With two products,one with no weight or dimensions and one with, UPS shows UPS Standard Rate: $129.17

Canada post seems to be calculation properly

In the UPS settings, is it quoting them as all in one package, or each in its own?

You might also try unchecking the "is shippable" box on the free shipping product.

The quoting was for all in one package. I've set it to each in its own and set the free product to 0 weight and 1cm x 1cm x 1cm and now UPS won't quote. Debugging shows the following

undefined: Hard 111500: The selected service is not valid with the selected packaging.

Hi Lyle,
I just saw this issue (sorry – not always easy to find the most updated one initially). I'm also trying to allow Free Shipping on a specific product. I found a possible solution at this post, then submitted a reply because I still have an issue that sounds similar to this thread (that's why I'm posting a link here – trying to to double-post issues).

Can I ask you to take a look?

Thanks for any advice!

One more response...

the only problem with unchecking "is shippable" is that there's no longer a 'shipping address' fields – which is not great for us. The item we want to add free shipping to is meant to be a present, so we also need the shipping address option.

... thanks in advance for your help!
