My shipping estimate isn't working
My shipping estimate isn't working
I've double-checked everything as best I can, but my shipping estimate box always says "No shipping methods are available for the current items and/or the given destination".
AC7 calculates freight just dandy at checkout, even accounting for different warehouses having different possible methods available.
But shipping estimate no workie. Any suggestions and how/where to troubleshoot the problem before I open a ticket on it? I just want to make sure it's not a setup problem on my end.
I remember it working long ago (all 30 days ago) but haven't tested it again until today.

Re: My shipping estimate isn't working
Did you find a solution to this? Ours has never worked and shows the same error "No shipping methods are available for the current items and/or the given destination." I have items tagged shippable and non-shippable with warehouses assigned. Also, now I am getting some weird overlay of text on my shipping editor too.

Re: My shipping estimate isn't working
Yes, in my situation it is working somewhat well.
The trick I found was to set your shipping methods to "All Zones" - Shipping Estimator won't include them in any estimate calculations if they are not set to "All Zones".
Even still, my custom Able shipping methods (like a flat-rate grounds shipping) still do not get included, but at least it works

Re: My shipping estimate isn't working
It's hit or miss from my end as well ... I'd say they work 2 or 3 times out of 10. I finally just set up some flat rate, zone and price based, shipping methods to ensure that my customers could check out.
Re: My shipping estimate isn't working
You talking about shipping rates in general during checkout or the Shipping Estimator? My shipping rates have always calculated during checkout - never been a problem there. All this thread was about was the estimator under the minibasket on the home page.keats76 wrote:It's hit or miss from my end as well ... I'd say they work 2 or 3 times out of 10.

Re: My shipping estimate isn't working
Oops, sorry about that ... I don't use the estimator. It's the UPS rate quotes that don't work ... and when they don't work, most of the time, they don't throw an error to the log either.
