Restrict Shipping Methods by Vendor

Without using warehouses, is it possible restrict shipping methods on the basis of the product's vendor? I thought I had a way to do this but now I can't remember or find a post about it.

Thanks.

You can try to put some code in onepagecheckout page where shipping methods are listed to customers which check products in basket and if they do belong to desired vendor then show it other wise hide it.

Just to clarify, your idea is to hide / exclude the prohibited methods in ShipMethodList where it's bound in ShipmentList_ItemDataBound?

We did a similar customization for products that couldn't be shipped via certain shipment methods.
But to be thorough, you need to put it on the basket shipping estimate and the multi page checkout shipping method page also.

Thank you Judy. I knew about the multi page checkout but I hadn't thought about the Shipping Estimate. Because my client does a lot of gift sales, I've had to improve the multiple destinations features so I was aware of that side of things.

Regards.
