Thanks in advance Emilio")* Why no just use the weight or volume restrictions ? You could set a volume in the products which will trigger the display of the additional shipping methods. Then, in those shipping methods, you set a volume restriction so that they are only displayed when there is a volume in the cart.

Thanks in advance Emilio")* It could be, not sure. We calculate shipping rates based upon a combination of weight and volume. You are talking about assign an outrange volume to the product so that only that would meet the shipping rate, aren't you? I'll think on it. Just to have a second alternative, what I am describing, would it be possible?
