Hello,

> So what is the best way to configure Hikashop to restrict a single shipment outside the USA using the USPS plugin?

The best solution will probably be to do as you have done with the "Block" option of the "Shipping prices" tab of you product configuration page, but not that **you can also use warehouses and restrict your shipping method and products to different warehouses**.

That doesn't work either, you get the same results as blocking when using the warehouse option.

Not only do neither of the options prevent the restricted item from shipping, they actually allow the item to be included in the order and the weight of the item is not included in the shipping calculation. So basically the customer can pay for the order and then get free shipping on the restricted item.

I suspect how it should work is that if you have a "restricted" item in your cart, then there should be a message indicating a restricted item is in the cart and not let you proceed to checkout. It does work like this as long as only the restricted item is in the cart. As soon as you add a non-restricted item to the cart is where you have a problem.

If you have anything else I can try I would appreciate it. I can't give you access to my site because it's still on localhost.

Hello,
Don't worry I'll directly do the tests on my end ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)"), also does your " Lithium Polymer Batteries" product have weight and dimensions ?

Just weight, I don't use the dimensions on the products.

Can you give me a temporary access to your back-end so that I can directly test it ? and also tell me which products you are using ?

Unfortunately I can't because it's still on localhost. This is one of two final issues I need to resolve before I can upload my new website.

I think what I'm going to do is work on getting my site live first and then giving you backend end access to look into the issue. I'll revisit the issue later when I'm up and running.
