Thanks for the link. MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping looks like it offers some great functionality (and looks to be much more recent than the two contribs I mentioned earlier). Unfortunately, MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping is based on table-based shipping. I need shipping set up as a flat fee applied to each item. (so a quantity of 3 = 3x shipping fee for that item.) My problem is that even though the catalog I am working with is extremely small, I need the following: 1. a shipping fee for each item. 2. within the context of #1, add to (or replace) shipping if going to AK or HI. I succeeded in getting 1. working with the Individual Shipping contrib. But I don't know if I can do #2 (at least within the context of #1) with the current contribs being offered. I'm thinking about adding an "extra shipping" field or a processing fee, and then try and wade through the code in the shipping modules/checkout.. which sounds tedious and prone to errors... :'( Maybe someone can come up with a work-around or a better idea/approach to solving 1 and 2 above.

Note that I am using Individual Shipping module... I have tried installing two contribs: State Based Rates and Per Item Per State State Based Rates causes errors and Per Item Per State doesn't seem to do anything... (and neither really offer me the exact solution I'm looking for). Here is what I need: Client has small catalog of items (6 total). Shipping is fixed on all items (except for Alaska and Hawaii). Some items have different fixed shipping than others (3 total shipping rates across 6 items) So far, using the Individual Shipping contrib, I can assign each item its own shipping. But I need to add different shipping costs if the ship to address is Alaska or Hawaii. Is this possible? It seems like I could add a flag field in the database or something, but I was hoping a contribution would address this. The contribs mentioned above appear to be pretty old (outdated?) Another concern I have: even if I get this working the way I want, osCom currently has only a (required) state text field - that is, not a drop-down list. So even if I can get special shipping for Alaska and Hawaii, I don't see how I can assign those values when a user can enter Alaska, AK, or misspelling in the field that needs to trigger the special shipping costs. I'm pretty frustrated with this so far and would greatly appreciate any help/advice/direction. Thank you.

It appears (to me at least) that zones in zone-based shipping are for countries only. That is, I can set up US and Canada zones for instance, but not set up zones for Hawaii and Alaska - which is what I need. I need special shipping to these two US states. With zone-based shipping, are zones treated differently than the rest of osCom? (because you can set up state-based zones in osCom) Thanks for any help with this.

So what happened? What was the solution? To all: Please post solutions when you get them worked out. It really helps others out who may be having the same problem and/or people who may be trying to help you fix something. Thanks.
