Question

Edit

It looks like the called to get the rate code is returning the same thing for all of those shipping options. It looks like I need to find a way to define the reate code for each shipping option.

End Edit

I created a custom shipping module in Magento for UPS Freight shipping. I needed options for Freight + Lift Gate, Freight + Residential, and Freight + Lift Gate & Residential. Per a response on another board, instead of having a checkbox for each of these options I just create separate methods.

As you can see from the image, Magento is calculating the prices correctly. The issue I have is that when I select one of the options and hit “update total”, it reverts back to the first option with the lowest price. After inspecting the inputs on the radio buttons, I found that they all have the same value.

<ul>
<li>
    <input name="estimate_method[2]" type="radio" value="excellence_excellence" id="s_method_excellence_excellence_2" class="radio">
    <label for="s_method_excellence_excellence_2">Freight<span class="price">$678.88</span></label>
</li>
<li>
    <input name="estimate_method[2]" type="radio" value="excellence_excellence" id="s_method_excellence_excellence_2" class="radio">
    <label for="s_method_excellence_excellence_2">Freight (Residential)<span class="price">$744.66</span></label>
</li>
.
. and so on.
.
</ul>

Since all of the inputs have the same value “excellence_excellence”, it makes sense that the price would just default back to the first one. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to fix this.

Below are links to my Model class, config.xml, and system.xml files. Any help, thoughts, or resources provided would be greatly appreciated.

I looked at your model file, and it has this:

$method->setCarrier($this->_code);
$method->setMethod($this->_code);

and $this->_code is “excellence” so you might consider change method by adding name of the allowed method like :

$method->setMethod($this->_code.$allowedmethod_code); //where allowedmethod_code have to be set based on your custom method names
