A flag (image) with the inscription “Free Shipping” near the product price was my first doubt but I already has an answer from this thread where Brandon answer how he did to show it. Very useful:
In Brazil, our government shipping company use a method to make prices: weight of the product and distance.
ZIPCODE: each State has a lot of numbers defining a zipcode. This is like we can see in almost all coutries.
Depending of the distance, each State has a band (zone) that goes from 0 to 4.
In fact, this system is already working (not very well, but working).
MY DOUBT HERE IS:
HOW TO CONFIGURE A SHIPPING METHOD TO GIVE FREE SHIPPING TO A CLIENT USING 3 PARAMETERS:
PRICE (shopping OVER 100.00).
If the price is over 100.00, so the system will see the next 2 parameters
2: WEIGHT OF ALL PRODUCTS (under 4kg)
ZIPCODE (ZONES 0, 1 and 2)

Sure we can create others, like:
If price >= 150 then
if weight <= 5 then
if zipcodeZone == 0 or 1 or 2
shippingCost ← 0
My doubt is if there is a direct way to configure it or not. Because if we are talking about EACH product we can CHECK if and it will have a free shipping. But when we are talking about SOME PRODUCTS inside the cart … I don’t know if this is possible.
You can’t do it with shipping methods but you should be able to do this with Promotions. Set up a new “Free shipping” cart promotions as follows:
Conditions
========
Order subtotal greater 100
Total products weight in the cart less 4
Customer zip/postal code (you will need to figure out the logic based on your zip codes - you will likely have to make this a group so you can specify multiple zip code ranges)

Bob,
I think there is only you and Brandon this weekend inside the forum…ehehhehe.
Jost a joke.
Thanks for your post.
ONE MORE THING TO STUDY: promotions codes.
If I understand well, every time a person want to buy a product from us that has a cost (for example) of $300.00 and a Weight under 5kg (for example) this person will need to INSERT a COUPON CODE to be possible to see a NEW SHIPPING METHOD = FREE SHIPPING.
Is this right?
I understood it like you wanted?
For example:
A game console costs $ 400 (4kg).
The client go to checkout page and there he will see a shipping cost (default one): $ 40.00 (for example).
When he inserts the coupon code he will earn a new shipping method called FREE SHIPPING that has cost = $0.00
Or the Actual Shipping method will give a price = $0.00 ?
The “Free shipping” promotion I described will be given automatically. If you want the have the customer enter a promotion code, you need to add the following condition:

Hum…
Automatically?
Hum… good I will study a little more to implement it.
I thought every time the costumer will need to insert a coupon code like Victoria Secrets does.

IT IS WORKING.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH, BOB.
Your idea and all your help make things work.
You can see in image:
I try to buy a product with 908g and $117.00 of cost… EVERYTHING WORKS FINE.
I did not need to insert any coupon code. (I saw I could configurate it, but it is not necessary).
Thank you again.

The unique problem I will have is to create a way to SHOW a flag “FREE SHIPPING” to products with prices over $100.00.
That problem you describe in the other thread will give me troubles.
ANOTHER PROBLEM WILL BE TO CONFIGURATE ALL ZIPCODES BY 5 ZONES. WE WILL NOT SALE FOR PEOPLE IN ZONE 4.
