[ic] Shipping, now with oddities!

Hi guys. 5.5

So, I have two things that might be bugs. One I am pretty sure is. After
Mikes recent shipping makeover I noticed that the last shipping calculation
would always fail:

usps: U.S. Postal Service First Class Air
    crit        [onlyitems]
    min         0
    max         0
    cost        e No shipping needed!
    at_least    0
    adder       0
    p_time      5-10 business days*

    min         1
    max         6
    cost        4.00

    min         7
    max         12
    cost        7.00

    min         13
    max         24
    cost        10.00

    min         25
    max         150
    cost        f [subtotal] * .09


In the above, anything that fell between 25 and 150 items would come up
with "=not enough information". I was so busy at the time, I could not look
for help and took a guess and added an additional set at the end, say from
151 to 999 items, and it would start working again as long as no orders had
item above the last criteria set of course. That was my fix at that time.


The second item is I needed to setup a free ground shipping promotion, just
now actually. From what I remember this worked about 6 months ago:

usps: U.S. Postal Service First Class Air
    crit        [onlyitems]
    min         0
    max         0
    cost        e No shipping needed!
    at_least    0
    adder       0
    p_time      5-10 business days*

    min         1
    max         150
    cost        0

    min         151
    max         300
    cost        1

Notice the cost "0". Not sure why this does not work, as this is what my
notes from last time lead me to believe (maybe I missed jotting down
something at the time). As a work around, I did this:

usps: U.S. Postal Service First Class Air
    crit        [onlyitems]
    min         0
    max         0
    cost        e No shipping needed!
    at_least    0
    adder       -1
    p_time      5-10 business days*

    min         1
    max         150
    cost        1

    min         151
    max         300
    cost        1

An adder of '-1' and cost of '1', which is not elegant.

At any rate, I was more concerned with the first issue, as it seems people
might get bit by this often.


TIA

Paul
