No, it wouldn't. Adding things based on guesses usually does not,
but if you guess enough times it will eventually work. That is
why I am good at this stuff, I guess over and over again. 8-)

You need to use the normal method, i.e. set it in a scratch variable
then check it. The [subtotal] tag automatically puts the latest
subtotal in the scratch variable latest_subtotal, so you can do:

 {'adder' => "[if scratch latest_subtotal >= 50]1[/if]"}

Mike,

Thanks for the tip but I still cannot make it work, I set the value to
add  100 so I would obviously see it, but as the subtotal rolls over 50
I see nothing added to the shipping :-((

Can you suggest anything else?

Many thanks,
Andy.
