Is the code called? Is the file included? Does the module show up in the backend? http://magento.stackexchange.com/questions/428/fundamentals-for-debugging-a-magento-store — Fabian Blechschmidt, Feb 19 '14 at 13:34

The problem appears to be you are missing the model definition in your config.xml so the observer does not get called.

You have two options.

Either update <class>custom_shipping/observer</class> to use <class>Custom_Shipping_Model_Observer</class>

Or create the following section in your config.xml:

<global>
    <models>
        <custom_shipping>
            <class>Custom_Shipping_Model</class>
        </custom_shipping>
    </models>
</global>

Thanks to Fabian for pointing out <shipping> is already in use :)

Don't use `shipping``, this is already used by Mage_Shipping :) – Fabian Blechschmidt May 21 '14 at 16:19

Hook into the event sales_order_shipment_save_before check wether the order has an ID, if no, check the method and if the method is free, then send an email.

The check whether the shipment has an id (to check whether it is new and only send the mail once) and the mail sending – Fabian Blechschmidt Feb 18 '14 at 07:09
