    You said “restricted to serving the small items class.”
    How do I do that??
    When I make those classes, and fill in the costs for the relevant classes (leaving the other fields blank), instead of not allowing a big item to be shipped, it just applies the shipping class relevant to their area and doesn’t charge them shipping (since a number is not filled into the field for that item class)

    Or…
    What value in the flate rate settings>shipping class costs satisfies a “not allowed” option?

    Doing a test checkout:
    When I leave the truckload class cost field blank or type N/A, save it, and try a test address order (with a truckload item) in the “nationwide” zone, it still goes to that “nationwide” zone (as it should), but it just shows “flat rate” with no cost, and still allows a customer to order the item, and doesn’t charge them shipping.

    Is there an option I can enter in the shipping class costs field that disallows the item to be purchased without a shipping class selected?

    Keep in mind the “nationwide” zone is the only shipping method that includes the nationwide areas, so that the far away shipping locations should only allow.

    @lorro
    Thanks for the reply. Your answer does explain configuration for ship rates per item, but I don’t think it lets me control where the items can ship to.
    For example, the products in my “small items” shipping class I want to sell to customers throughout the U.S., but for my “truckload” class that includes items weighing over half a ton, I don’t want to sell those to anyone further than 50 miles away from me.

    It’s not about how much I charge to ship items far away, it’s the fact that I can’t/don’t want to ship them far away.

    Does that help clarify?
