Shipping cost issue with products with zero weight

[pluto26]

I have a few products that have zero weight. I am using these few products as a way to do pre-orders for out of stock items.
the price is $100.00 and the dimensions and weight are all zero.

but during checkup in the -- Shipping -- it displays a list of carriers . USPS is $6.20 and USP $16.67 I would expect there to by no shipping carriers because the total of the products in my cart are all weight equal to zero.

has any one else able to handle products we zero weight.

This is the only thing holding me up to publishing by site ( besides FedEx shipping which does not seem to wrok on 1.4 and getting no answers )

any help or even assurance that somethine else can handle products with zero weight. I have seen other eCommerce products I have been looking at handle "virture" type products much cleanier but Prestatshop has some other features I do like.

Any hep would be gratly appreciated.

Thanks

There is not normal way to do this. But I don't if this solution is acceptable.

You set those products as downloadable product, and upload a dummy image as download file. In this there should no shipping charges for the product.

But you need to stop PrestaShop from sending out download email.
