Outsized Item Shipping (don't want price showing)

Hello,

How can I NOT get the price showing (not even 0 €) on one manual shipping method -- for outsized items that have no "standard" corresponding price?

See "Hors Gabarit" in attached picture. It appears for items for which I put a 999kg weight. For testing purposes I put the 999€ shipping cost otherwise I get "livraison gratuite" (free shipping) appear.

(any other ideas on how to handle such a situation are welcome)

Thanks

Stephan

That's not how you should handle it.

What you want is to have only the first shipping method and set a max weight restriction in its options.
Then, when the user has an overweight product in the cart, that will display an error message that you can further customize as explained there:

Thank you for your answer Nicolas but the problem is not so straight forward. (as with most of those head-scratching shipping rules)

I am using the Manual shipping module in which I created shipping rules based on the French Colissimo system which is based on WEIGHT.
I've got about 70 rules and it is working well as I have a weight for every product but NO dimensions as these are not standardised [varying physical shipping size for a same product].
However, the Colissimo system [as well as fast courriers] has SIZE restrictions [Les dimensions maximales sont telles que : L+l+h=150cm avec L=100cm] and an OVERSIZE acceptance limit [Dimensions maximales : 150cm < L+l+h ≤ 200 cm et/ou L > 100cm].

I only have a minute quantity of oversized products and I would have wished to avoid giving dimensions to ALL my products .

But, as far as I can figure out, I cannot avoid displaying the price or the "Livraison Gratuite" without a conditional rule for those items identified as oversized. I would have wished something like "sur devis" to appear instead.

I think I will live with the system as is and adapt my messages for the time being.

Thanks again.

[any Colissimo shipping module in the works?]

Well, the problem is that if you have a shipping method for your "sur devis", the checkout system will allow the user to finish his order as there will be a shipping method found by the system. That's why I recommended that message solution.

There is no Collissimo shipping plugin in the works for now.
