We want to encourage customers to pay using COD by not passing on the COD fee to them. In this example, we’ll set up a custom freight rule so that the COD fee is removed from the freight charges.

If you’re starting from the Freight Rules window, click the New Rule button.
If this is the first rule you are creating, follow the Create a New Freight Rule procedure.
Select "Freight is determined from order or shipment values" and click Next.
Select "Calculate freight from order/shipment values" and then click the "Define Calculations" button.
From the "Define Freight Calculations" screen, select
"Shipment: Amount Billed to Shipper plus Handling Fee" in the Value 1 column.
" – " in the Operator column.
"Shipment: COD Fee" in the Value 2 column and click OK to save the calculation.
Highlight the calculation number in the list and click Next.
When do you want to apply this rule: Click "Only under certain conditions" and then click Next.
Apply this rule based on a value from: Select "the shipment" and then "COD (Select)". Click Next
