but how can I keep the user from being charged for shipping, *only* if they select the free shipping method? Let's say a user needs to purchase $35 of product. Then, I add a promo that gives them a shipping discount of 100%. However, if they choose the UPS Next Day air option, they should not get free shipping. The only way I can see to give them free shipping is in the promo system, but that is an all-or-nothing setup, I can't limit that by shipping method.
