Actually this just simple, just set up your carrier, zones and weight ranges. In your BO open the carrier you want to use as the default carrier and edit the group access. Do not leave it to default only, select it to apply to all the groups. In this case it would show the default shipping price according to the default carrier selected and would remove the Free Shipping text. If the user is logged in, it would select carrier according to the country of the user. Please do this only for the default carrier you want to show shipping price for to non registered users.

A case for a standard and non standard company web browser

admin — Tue, 26 Mar 2013 11:48:18 +0000

Recently in one of the forum discussions a member highlighted a problem with design and browser. We know that people find comfort in a particular browser and i strongly support this being addicted to Firefox myself. People usually choose to use particular browsers because the design and navigation suites their visual perception while others like me would definitly go for technical functionanities it offers.

Having a non standard company web browser has its advantages and disadvantages, as shown in different studies, the dis advantages can run into financial cost, at MDS we encourage our staff to use firefox but they are free to choose any browser of their choice. We have seen from our little staff and customer survey that people who use firefox also are more inclined to go for Chrome. We will always support our staff and clients to be free with their browser choice though we recognize that it is much easier to have a uniform browser for mainly technical requirements .
