Virtual Product Still Charges Handling

I found this in a thread on the aabox.com forums using Google:

If you are curious as to why weight is still important, it is because a weight of zero is used to specify a virtual product like a gift certificate or a download.

osCMax sees a zero weight and automatically assumes that the product in question is not something that is shipped (download or gift voucher)."

I wish it were so....my customers are still being charged the handling fee when they buy zero weight items.

How do I get the system to quit charging the handling fee when the total weight in the shopping cart is zero?

Thanks,

I ended up having to fix this through the shipping costs table:

0:0,1:6,2:7, etc.

To force zero weight orders to not have shipping. Hope that this is fixed in 2.0.

I copied over my shipping and zones settings from my old store, and I was still getting shipping charges on virtual items, with 0 weight.

The one pound was coming from Configuration, Shipping/Packaging, Package Tare weight was 1.
