I created a shipping method eg Delivery to Australia 0 to 19kg, added Australia country to the shipping zone, then added a minimum weight 0kg and a maximum weight 19kg. What I need is to create another shipping method for items under 1.5kg or maximum 3 items which also displays a warning that this shipping method can only be used for small parcels not exceeding 90cm in total or maximum 3 items weighing less than 1.5kg not exceeding 90cm can this be done ?

To restrict for a number of items, it's not implemented yet, you can duplicate the manual shipping plugin and edit it to add an option to restrict to a number of products. I add this functionality on the TODO list.

It might however not be adapted to your situation and in that case, that would require to add such options in the manual shipping plugin. As Xavier said, that's on our todo list.

The way I was trying to get around this was to restrict the number of items in the cart. However my only option now is to put up a pop up message warning them that certain options are only for a maximum number of items. Can you advise how I can display a popup message in hika shop when they select a certain shipping method?

Thus, HikaShop will display an error message telling the user for example that the products in the cart exceed the limits of the shipping methods. That will also block the user from checking out with a shipping method which would not be possible. Then, you can customize the error message with a translation override to have the text you want for it.
