Shipping is unavailable for three items

Hi Lynn,

Thank you for your great advice so I’ll never mess around with the cat business ??

I played with your test site. Now it says “Please use the shipping calculator to see available shipping methods.” for 3 collars. Normally this message appears if only admin manually unchecked the “Enable the shipping calculator on the cart page” option. It looks like something changes the option at runtime causing effects you described.

First of all to investigate this we need to make sure that nothing affects weight based plugin behavior. To do this you need to disable all other plugins related to WooCommerce and check if this fixes the problem. If it does then you need to enable other plugins one-by-one until the problem returns.

Once we’ll know the name of the conflicting plugin I’ll have a chance to reproduce the issue and find a way to resolve it.

Hi Dan,
I just saw this post. I’ve done what you have suggested but I am having another problem right now. I uploaded a file as suggested here:

https://kb.oboxthemes.com/articles/how-to-change-the-number-of-related-products-in-woocommerce-themes/

And it didn’t work and since I’ve deleted it – my whole site is now messed up and I don’t have the technical skill to understand why. I don’t really understand why – if you delete a file the problem should still persist as the files aren’t overwriting each other.

I posted a new thread – but will get back once this is resolved – or not. I have a feeling I am going to have to re-upload my entire site and redo it. It is so upsetting!

THANKS

Hi,
I am back. I think everything is resolved with my issue above.

I deactivated all the plug-ins with the exception of WOOCOMMERCE and your plugin: Weight based shipping for Woocommerce.

If it helps – previously the plugins were:
Contact Form 7
WP Google Fonts
Post Type Order
Regenerate Thumbnails

De-activating these did not help with it working. Even with them all de-activated, the table still does not work for 3 items.

THANKS SO MUCH!

Hi Lynn,

Thank you for the info.

I’m travelling now and don’t have access to my computer. I’ll continue with the issue on weekend once I’ll get back. Sorry for inconvenience.

Hello Lynn,

I’m back.

Now it says “Please use the shipping calculator to see available shipping methods.” no matter how many items I add to cart. Do you still experience the issue?

Hi Dan,
Yes. I can’t get the table to work. I have all my products in weights of 0.2n lbs. So everything is a multiple. I want to set a fixed price for each weight group – 0.2, 0.4. 0.6, 0.8, etc.

I cannot have the shipping averaged – for example if I set shipping to be $5.00 for 0.2 – 0.4 – than the 0.2 item then ships for $2.50. I can’t have that. I need the shipping to be fixed for 0.2 – 0.4 lbs.

Can you please advise?

THANKS

L.

To have a fixed price for a group you have to leave Shipping Rate empty and set Handling Fee instead. For example:

1. Min Weight 0, Max Weight 0.2, Shipping Rate 0, Handling Fee 2.5
2. Min Weight 0.2001, Max Weight 0.4, Shipping Rate 0, Handling Fee 5
3. Min Weight 0.4001, Max Weight 0.6, Shipping Rate 0, Handling Fee 7.5
and so on.
