@lotmany...
I don't see any point in having a selection of the courier company by the buyer, what purpose will it serve and to whom will it be helpful ?. Just by raising any topic it does not make it sensible and worthwhile to be implemented, just think with a open mind and read what I have written below.
Take the case of @arihant_enterprises where he has clearly said that he ships only by First Flight or Bluedart, so what happens in this case, what drop down list will he give the buyers to choose from and what happens if the buyer area is not serviced by either of the two couriers as he has has mentioned. He is as it is mentioning that he will ship only by First Flight or Bluedart and even after that notice provided by him the customers purchases the products and he gets penalised for no fault.
I have made a 2 inch by 5 inch notice block that I will ship only by DTDC couriers and by no other means, please do not buy if you do not have DTDC couriers in your area, but still every month I get 10 buyers purchasing products and I have to do refund. now tell me what solution will you give to such buyers who do not read the listing.
Finally if you are anyhow going to ship to the buyer by any means then again why is the selection required, ship it by any couriers who services the buyers area.
