Thank you for the reply, much appreciated...In my original post i stated that i had established over $59 to be the cut off point between flat rate and free shipping. For some reason, I still get the choice to make for both flat rate and free shipping showing up under payment method in the website as to what the customer sees. I don't want the customer to see the two different choices, but, I would like to offer free shipping over $59.

Any thoughts?

yes I know that. But living in Canada and most clients being Canadian. I like to see the Canadian flag not the US flag. I did change the default in the minimised js file what of course is not the way to go. But for a quick short term solution it has to do. But it would be great if this was done when you set your location in admin. Looking at the help files in GitHub of this script. It can be easily added to the HTML file that set up the forms. But again if I do that now it will be a fix that disappears when I upgrade the software. So this may be something for a further update if it is not possible now. I think many others whose  store is more for there own country would like that.

yes

Hello.
In the Free Shipping extension you have a setting for minimum total amount to be reached before "Free shipping" delivery method activated for customers.
