Shipping zones and methods created without previous notice

Hi @lalocom,

Thanks for reaching out!

I understand that the shipping zones and methods on your site were updated without prior notice.

This is weird as WooCommerce does not automatically create new zones and provides random shipping methods on any WooCommerce store.

I would like to understand your site properly, can you please share your System Status Report, that will help us further troubleshoot.

You can find it via WooCommerce > Status. Select Get system report and then Copy for support. Once you’ve done that, you can paste it into your reply here.

The first window is showing this message, “We’ve added a few drop zones for you, based on your location, but you can manage them at any time”

The question is to know, who is “we”?

I found out! This is the official reply from woocommerce support

In an attempt to simplify the setup process, since WooCommerce 6.8.0 a new feature called Smart Shipping was introduced and in this case, it is that feature that has kicked in and added the new shipping zone.

Here are the full release notes for that version of WooCommerce: https://developer.woocommerce.com/2022/08/09/woocommerce-6-8-released/

There is no wrongdoing on your part as this was introduced with the core version of the plugin.

Lately, they recognize this update was just intended for new sites. So this issue was a bug and is already fixed.

Regards,
Lalo

Hi @lalocom

Thank you for the update. Glad to hear it’s already fixed. I will go ahead and mark this thread as resolved now. If you have a few minutes, we’d love if you could leave us a review: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/woocommerce/reviews/

Thanks for your support. Could you please remove the third post (system report) or let me know how to remove posts?

Thanks,

Could you please remove the third post (system report) or let me know how to remove posts?

I’m sorry, but that is only done in extreme cases. This is not an extreme case.

Search engine hits are never considered extreme. The post will not be edited or deleted.
