Has anybody been able to bypass the zero weight problem with the Australia Post shipment modules?
I'm starting up a winery website and want to ship dozen bottles for free. The way I thought it could work was if I made a "dozen" product and made it weigh nothing.
The problem is the Aus post module errors because there is no weight. Is there a way to code it up so if the shipping is no weight, rather than error, it comes up as a $0 shipping?

You could try the zero weight skips shipping addon.

Nah, it doesn't. Aus Post module goes into error....
I'm trying to work out .php and see how I can get around it. Anyone who can answer quickly would be easier than me working it out (I only program in SQL if you call it that!)

Yes it does. The shipping page does not get called, even if the tare weight is at the default of 3,
