Hey everyone,

We are setting up a new VM build and have situation that could be unique.  It's for a floral delivery site and we have change the "Shipping" language to be "Delivery".  The way that the shipping/delivery is setup is that if the order is under $100, there is a flat fee of $10.  If it goes above $100 for an order, then delivery/shipping is free.  The only thing that is stumping us is a unique request.  If delivery is to a certain hospital in the area, no matter the amount of the purchase, then delivery is Free.  Does anyone have any ideas on the best way to make that happen?  My thought is a checkbox at checkout that they would check with some verbage saying "Is this a delivery to __________ Hospital?"  and if checked there would be no shipping.  Any thoughts on a process or extension can accomplish this?

Thanks!
AJ

Make 2 standard shipping mehthods, one for $10/free (call it standard delivery) and one with no prices set which could be titled by your "Is this a delivery to __________ Hospital?". The user will then have to select standard or hospital at checkout.
