			foreach($shipping_services_to_hide as & $value) {
				unset($available_shipping_methods[$value]);

Code Snippet 02: Hide the undesired service for the required states

add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_hide_undesired_service_for_required_states', 10, 2);

function wf_hide_undesired_service_for_required_states($rates, $package)
{
$exclude = array(
'international_delivery' => array(
'CA'
) ,
'wf_fedex_woocommerce_shipping:FEDEX_GROUND' => array(
'FL'
)

Code Snippet 03: Hide the undesired service for the required Zip Codes (FedEx)

Steps to add Code Snippet

1. Add the following code to your functions.php or any where relevant.
2. You need to find out the service code for the service which you want to hide. To Find out Service code, navigate to Cart/Checkout page. Right click on the unwanted service and select inspect. Check ‘value’ of shipping service to get the code for the service.
3. Unset the rates for  required service code.
   For example: To disable FedEx ground shipping service for the zip code 93999, the code is unset( $rates [‘wf_fedex_woocommerce_shipping:FEDEX_GROUND’] );

The Code is as given below:

add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_remove_shipping_options_for_particular_zip_codes', 10, 2);

function wf_remove_shipping_options_for_particular_zip_codes($rates, $package)
{
global $woocommerce;
$excluded_zip_array = array(
'93999'
);
if (in_array($woocommerce->customer->get_shipping_postcode() , $excluded_zip_array)) {
unset($rates['wf_fedex_woocommerce_shipping:FEDEX_GROUND']);
}

return $rates;
}

Code Snippet 04 – Hide a shipping method for the particular product(s)

add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'hide_shipping_method_if_particular_product_available_in_cart', 10, 2);
	
	function hide_shipping_method_if_particular_product_available_in_cart($available_shipping_methods)
	{
		global $woocommerce;
	
		// products_array should be filled with all the products ids
		// for which shipping method (stamps) to be restricted.
	
		$products_array = array(
			101,
			102,
			103,
			104
		);
	
		// You can find the shipping service codes by doing inspect element using
		// developer tools of chrome. Code for each shipping service can be obtained by
		// checking 'value' of shipping option.
	
		$shipping_services_to_hide = array(
			'wf_usps_stamps:US-FC',

		// Get all products from the cart.
	
		$products = $woocommerce->cart->get_cart();
	
		// Crawl through each items in the cart.
	
		foreach($products as $key => $item) {
	
			// If any product id from the array is present in the cart,
			// unset all shipping method services part of shipping_services_to_hide array.
	
			if (in_array($item['product_id'], $products_array)) {
				foreach($shipping_services_to_hide as & $value) {
					unset($available_shipping_methods[$value]);
				}
	
				break;
			}
		}
	
		// return updated available_shipping_methods;
		return $available_shipping_methods;
	}

Code Snippet 05 – Hide the undesired method for the particular existing shipping class (Australia Post)

add_filter('woocommerce_package_rates', 'hide_auspost_method_when_shipping_class_product_is_in_cart', 10, 2);

function hide_auspost_method_when_shipping_class_product_is_in_cart($available_shipping_methods, $package)
{
$shipping_class_ids = array(
16
);
$shipping_services_to_hide = array(
'wf_australia_post:AUS_PARCEL_REGULAR',
'wf_australia_post:AUS_PARCEL_EXPRESS',
'wf_australia_post:AUS_PARCEL_COURIER',
'wf_australia_post:INTL_SERVICE_EPI',

'wf_australia_post:INTL_SERVICE_PTI',
'wf_australia_post:INTL_SERVICE_AIR_MAIL',
'wf_australia_post:INTL_SERVICE_SEA_MAIL',
);
$shipping_class_exists = false;
foreach(WC()->cart->cart_contents as $key => $values) {
if (in_array($values['data']->get_shipping_class_id() , $shipping_class_ids)) {
$shipping_class_exists = true;
break;
}
}

if ($shipping_class_exists) {
foreach($shipping_services_to_hide as & $value) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$value]);
}
}

return $available_shipping_methods;
}

Code Snippet 06 – Hide the undesired First Class Mail services on ELEX USPS Plugin. 

Add the following code to your functions.php or any where relevant.

The Code is as given below:

// Exclude the services First-Class Mail Postcards, First-Class Mail Large Envelope and First-Class Mail Stamped Letter
add_filter('usps_disable_first_class_rate_first-class-mail-postcards', 'disable_first_class_rate_for_this_service',10,3);
add_filter('usps_disable_first_class_rate_first-class-mail-large-envelope', 'disable_first_class_rate_for_this_service',10,3);
add_filter('usps_disable_first_class_rate_first-class-mail-stamped-letter', 'disable_first_class_rate_for_this_service',10,3);
function disable_first_class_rate_for_this_service() {
return true;
}

// Include First-Class Mail Parcel ( Default Behaviour)
add_filter('usps_disable_first_class_rate_first-class-mail-parcel', 'disable_first_class_rate_for_parcel_service',10,3);
function disable_first_class_rate_for_parcel_service() {
return false;
}

Code Snippet 07 – Hide/show USPS services based on the quantity of items in the cart

add_filter( 'woocommerce_package_rates', 'wf_adjust_shipping_rate', 10, 2 );
function wf_adjust_shipping_rate( $available_shipping_methods, $packages ){
// Total quantity is total unit
$unit = 0;
$apply_final_filter = TRUE;
foreach ( $packages['contents'] as $item ) {
$unit+=$item['quantity'];
}

// if unit less than 3 , show D_FIRST_CLASS only
if( $unit < 3 ){
$shipping_methods = array();
if( !empty( $available_shipping_methods['wf_shipping_usps:D_FIRST_CLASS'] ) ){
$apply_final_filter = FALSE;
$shipping_methods['wf_shipping_usps:D_FIRST_CLASS'] = $available_shipping_methods['wf_shipping_usps:D_FIRST_CLASS'];
$available_shipping_methods = $shipping_methods;
}
}// if unit between 3 and 30 , show D_STANDARD_POST only
elseif( $unit > 2 && $unit < 31 ){
$shipping_methods = array();
if(!empty($available_shipping_methods['wf_shipping_usps:D_STANDARD_POST'])){
$apply_final_filter = FALSE;
$shipping_methods['wf_shipping_usps:D_STANDARD_POST'] = $available_shipping_methods['wf_shipping_usps:D_STANDARD_POST'];
$available_shipping_methods = $shipping_methods;
}
}

// if no above conditions met , remove all USPS service
if( $apply_final_filter ){
foreach ($available_shipping_methods as $index => $data) {
if (strpos($index, 'wf_shipping_usps') !== false) {
unset($available_shipping_methods[$index]);
}
}
}

return $available_shipping_methods;
}

In the above code, $available_shipping_methods array stores all the available USPS services for shipping. $packages array stores all the information about the shipment package.  If the $unit is less than 3, then only D_FIRST_CLASS shipping service is returned. If the $unit is more than 2 and less than 31, then only D_STANDARD_POST shipping service is returned. If the $unit is more than 30, then $available_shipping_methods is unset so that no USPS service will be displayed.
