My Shipping estimator does not work for guests / users not logged in

Hi,

I have the USPS, UPS, and Free Options shipping modules configured on vapenow.com.

When I have an item in the cart as a guest and try to estimate shipping, no quotes are returned; however, when I am logged in as a customer the estimator works fine.

I have already uninstalled and resinstalled all three modules.

I tested with flat rate, and that shows up in the estimator for guests.

Any advice? I'm stumped :frusty:

Thanks!

As a guest, did you try to add an address so that there is something to quote prices for in the shipping estimator? :unsure:

Thanks for your reply Ajeh.

When the shipping estimator comes up, it asks for country, state, and zip. Given that it doesn't ask for an address, I didn't think that an address is required. :huh:

If an address is required, how might I implement things such that users are prompted for their address in the pop-up window when they click on the shipping estimate button?

Did you pick a Country, State and Zip code and hit Update to get a quote? :unsure:

Yeah, I tried with both US and Canadian addresses multiple times, but no quotes were returned any of the times. :dontgetit:

Any ideas?

Thanks

Sure, Vapenow.com

Thanks!:smile:

On your Zone Definitions ... do you have the DETAILS set to specific Countries and States?

NOTE: you should upgrade to v1.3.9h as that is more current than v1.3.9g and not a difficult upgrade ...

I don't believe so. I've attached a screenshot of the US Zone Definition Details page and it is just sent to the country. I'm assuming that this could be causing the issue? How should I proceed?

Ajeh:

Yeah, :blush: it's on our to do list -- been distracted with a site redesign.

Thanks

Could you first try turning off the SEO/rewrites ... does it work?

If not, try switching to the Classic Template ... does it work?

Turning of SEO/rewrites worked (using Seo Urls 3.0.0-beta1). Thanks for the suggestion Ajeh!:clap:

However, SEO URLs are very important to us so we can't have them turned off. Do you know of a way to configure things such that the shipping estimator and URL rewrites can live in happy harmony :hug: ever after?

No clue ... I do not use SEO/rewrites so you will need to figure out what is being broken by it ... :unsure:
