Shipping Suddenly Not Working

Hello @furfuraceus,

Shipping can be tricky to debug. The main shipping debug focuses on showing which zone the order falls under. If it’s an issue further down than that, this won’t shed much insight.

Could you please send me a copy of your site’s System Status? 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 here.

Also, could you take a screenshot of this shipping method’s settings so we have an idea of how they are set up? You can use https://snipboard.io for sharing screenshots – please follow the instructions on the page, then paste the URL it gives you in your reply.

Thanks!

Hi @3sonsdevelopment Three Sons,

Sorry didn’t do images correctly first time – here it is again.

Thank you for the reply. I currently have all my plugins deactivated while I try and sort this out, but the problem still persists.

I have no shipping classes set up, just 1 flat rate and weight based shipping.
https://snipboard.io/TdGXgY.jpg– zones
https://snipboard.io/i4f9ds.jpg – weight based shipping

Error encountered for identical item – it seems to only be occurring with items that are set as 0.01 in weight. when multiples are added it resolves itself.
https://snipboard.io/YBmkfe.jpg – BC – no options available
https://snipboard.io/PclJIa.jpg – ON – two options are omitted.

Thank You!

Thanks for sending those over. The screenshot for the zones did not make it through. My suspicion is there is something in the rules between weight and destination that is keeping this order to Ontario from pulling any rates. I would double-check and make sure that there is a match in that list.

If there is a match and it isn’t pulling rates, I would reach out to the developers of the Weight Based Shipping plugin. They may be able to help you get this configured since they created the plugin.

https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/weight-based-shipping-for-woocommerce/

I hope that gets you pointed toward an answer.

@3sonsdevelopment

Yes there is a match between rules and weight if I understand correctly. Its viewable in the second screenshot. Its currently set to all of Canada. So the province shouldn’t make a difference as its set to country.

Here is the zone in any case – https://snipboard.io/JtaEvH.jpg

I have reached out to [email protected] but they are unwilling to help because I am not a premium member.

Ok, so after much frustration the problem seems to have been solved. I thank @3sonsdevelopment for trying to help sort it out.

I wanted to post this update to try and help any other users that may encounter this problem.

The biggest mystery with the issue was the mystery surrounding how it just started randomly after working without missing a beat for a number of months. I hadn’t changed any settings so never thought to once delve this deep into the weight based settings simply because they had never been touched since the day the site was set up.

The lesson here is CHECK AND RECHECK even when you think you are sure.

This issue was buried deep within the weight based shipping rule settings.
See pic below.

https://snipboard.io/9Tlq1Q.jpg

Because the “or equal” box wasn’t checked, orders that landed on exactly the amount set were not displaying the shipping options available. (In this case 0.01)
Makes sure you have accounted for the above and below sections if using weights, because in rare instances orders can fall directly on parameter set within the weight limits.

Simply checking this box solved the problem.

This also allowed for the opportunity to add a level of uniformity to all the shipping options as some had boxes checked while others didn’t.

All the best,
CK

Thank you for the update.

Just to add a few cents. Without the ‘or equal’ checkboxes existing in WBS one would have to define either open intervals or closed intervals. The issue with open intervals is that we can’t address an exact value between intervals, e.g. intervals (0, 1.5), (1.5, 3) don’t cover exactly 1.5. Closed intervals in turn bring another issue: a value between intervals falls into both of them. E.g. both [0, 1.5] and [1.5, 3] match 1.5.

Leaving ‘or equal’ in their default state would give one half-open intervals resolving both issues. E.g. [0, 1.5) and [1.5, 3) cover the entire outer interval from 0 (inclusive) to 3 (exclusive), including 1.5, exactly once.
