So that you can filter which shipping method you want to be available and in which situation. So the solution will globally depends on how and when you want your shipping method to be displayed.

However, the because of the different dimensions, different weights, my shipping box dimensions, and the fact that due to weight limits on carrier services I have some overlap on the restrictions of the shipping methods. I added some javascript to the checkout->shipping view as a way to try to just hide the more expensive prices of the same methods. Code: $js = " //function to only show cheapest carrier rates if overlap function findMinRates(){ var minRates = []; jQuery('.hikashop_shipping_group').each(function(){ var jQuerythis = jQuery(this); jQuerythis.find('.controls .hika-radio.hikashop_shipping_methods_table tr td input.hikashop_checkout_shipping_radio').each(function(){ var shipType = this.next('label').html(); var shipPrice = this.next('span.hikashop_checkout_shipping_price_full').children('span.hikashop_checkout_shipping_price').html(); shipPrice = parseFloat(shipPrice); if(shipType in minRates){ if(shipPrice > minRates[shipType]){ jQuery('input.hikashop_checkout_shipping_radio[value=\"this.val()\"]').parents('tr[class^=\"row\"]').hide(); } }else{ minRates[shipType]=shipPrice; } }); }); } //function for window ready window.hikashop.ready(function(){findMinRates();}); "; if(!HIKASHOP_PHP5) $doc =& JFactory::getDocument(); else $doc = JFactory::getDocument(); $doc->addScriptDeclaration("\n<!--\n".$js."\n//-->\n"); I'm not getting any results with this though. Am I on the right track with this or is there a way to do what I need to do directly in the php code of the view?

It's that view file which displays the shipping methods. So there, you can filter the shipping methods the way you want.

Do you see any problems that this code could cause? As far as I can tell it's working.

Ideally, you should do a first foreach on $this->rates to construct your own filters list of rates and then replace $this->rates with your list and then leave the second foreach do it's job on that filtered list. Because right now with your code, if the first encountered rate has a higher price than the second rate with the same name, you'll actually see both displayed. You're lucky that they are being displayed in the order that works ![:)](/media/kunena/emoticons/3.png ":)") Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI4LXNoaXBwaW5nLW1ldGhvZHMvODgzMzIyLWRpc3BsYXktY2hlYXBlc3Qtc2hpcHBpbmctbWV0aG9kLWZyb20tc2FtZS1jYXJyaWVyP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[deuce4884](/forum/user/38332-deuce4884 "View deuce4884's Profile")** - [![deuce4884's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/core/svg/person.svg)](/forum/user/38332-deuce4884 "View deuce4884's Profile") Topic Author - [ Offline](/forum/user/38332-deuce4884) Less More - Posts: 128 - Thank you received: 3 - - 10 years 7 months ago [\#234437](#234437) by [deuce4884](/forum/user/38332-deuce4884 "View deuce4884's Profile") Replied by *[deuce4884](/forum/user/38332-deuce4884 "View deuce4884's Profile")* on topic *[Display cheapest shipping method from same carrier](/forum/28-shipping-methods/883322-display-cheapest-shipping-method-from-same-carrier#234437 "-- HikaShop version -- : 2.5.0 -- Joomla version -- : 3.4.1 -- PHP version -- : 5.3.24 I have created 3 UPS shipping methods with varying restrictions because of some of my products' dimensions, products' weights, and shipping box dimensions.
