How to add multiple flat rate shipping
You could also create a second flat rate shipping method with a module.
First create app/etc/modules/Vendor_Module.xml
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Vendor_Module>
<active>true</active>
<codePool>local</codePool>
<depends>
<Mage_Core/>
<Mage_Catalog/>
</depends>
</Vendor_Module>
</modules>
</config>
Then create app/code/local/Vendor/Module/etc/config.xml :
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<modules>
<Vendor_Module>
<version>0.0.1</version>
</Vendor_Module>
</modules>
<global>
<models>
<module>
<class>Vendor_Module_Model</class>
</module>
</models>
<helpers>
<module>
<class>Vendor_Module_Helper</class>
</module>
</helpers>
</global>
<default>
<flatrate2>
<active>1</active>
<sallowspecific>0</sallowspecific>
<model>module/carrier_flatrate2</model>
<title>Flat Rate 2</title>
<type>I</type>
<specificerrmsg>This shipping method is currently unavailable. If you would like to ship using this shipping method, please contact us.</specificerrmsg>
<handling_type>F</handling_type>
</flatrate2>
</default>
</config>
Add the configuration fields after that in app/code/local/Vendor/Module/etc/system.xml:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
<sections>
<carriers>
<groups>
<flatrate2 translate="label" module="module">

</carriers>
</sections>
</config>
Now you need to create the carrier models, to avoid duplicate code, this model extends the original flatrate carrier and only changes the fields that need to be changed
app/code/local/Vendor/Module/Model/Carrier/Flatrate2.php
<?php
class Vendor_Module_Model_Carrier_Flatrate2
extends Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Flatrate
implements Mage_Shipping_Model_Carrier_Interface
{
protected $_code = 'flatrate2';
public function getAllowedMethods()
{
return array('flatrate2'=>$this->getConfigData('name'));
}
}
Finally don't forget to create your helper:
app/code/local/Vendor/Module/Helper/Data.php
<?php
class Vendor_Module_Helper_Data extends Mage_Core_Helper_Abstract
{
}
In the case where you want to have the customer choose from multiple options, I recommend using one of WebShopApps matrix plugins. Here's a good one:
http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/webshopapps-matrixrate-1-multiple-table-rates-extension-certified-bug-free.html
Otherwise, to get an automatic calculation based on value, use table rates to achieve what you're looking for - to get an example of a table rates CSV:
For the £50 free delivery option, use free shipping shopping cart price rules.

There is open source extension which allows to setup multiple flat rates: https://github.com/thebod/Thebod_Shippingrates
