Yes, It looks like you need to define Zip Code ranges in all of the shipping methods for Standar Shipping to work correctly. The previous versions you could leave them blank.

I set the ranges 0-999999999 on all of my shipping options and it works!

Set min: "0"
Set max: "999999999"

It really works Grin

I am having the same problem when doing the last step in the check out process:  "Error: Please select another Shipping Method". For what I read, there seems to be other people having the same problem but I do not see a real answer to what is causing it and/or how to fix it. HELP!!

I tried changing the zip ranges but still running into the same error. I am using Joomla 1.07 with virtuemart 1.0.2.

FYI:
'Error: Please select another Shipping Method' means that VM could not match a shipping rate to the cart contents and/or your the ship-to address. This error does not necesarily mean that your software is broken. There are many scenarios where this error can occur.

For your shipping rates in standard shipping, you need to set them up to cover all possible scenarios with your store.

A standard shipping rate uses the following parameters to match:
  • Country,
  • ZIP range start/end,
  • Weight lowest/highest,

Some possible reasons for a non-match:
  • Your shipping rates are not set to match the countries that your VM can ship to.
  • Your zipcodes do not match the rate due to a numerical range issue as discussed above
  • A non-numerical zipcode is used as the ship-to zipcode which will by-pass the zipcode match portion of the look-up
  • Your weights do not match the rate due to a numerical range issue as discussed above, ie. the cart weighs far heavier than the rate with the highest weight assigned.
  • You saved your rates with zero countries, zipcodes, or weights
  • any combination of the above...and more!

so...check, then double check, then test, then test some more that your shipping rates will match all possible scenarios that your VM uses in regards to the shipping destinations and possible cart weights. Murphy always steps in when you least expect it. So, have someone test it for you too.

Turn on debug mode. standard shipping will give you an informative message if it can't match a rate to the cart.

Some coders doesnt know how to handle decimals in php....   Embarrassed

Lots of "weird" things in this "standard shipping module" that ends in the infamous "Error: Please select another Shipping Method"

Isnt about zips, or whatever. I put the 0-9999 range, tested all situations, no luck... and finally, remembered that its easy to make mistakes with php and decimals... so I used only integers in all values: weight, zips, amount to add...

Problem solved... although not satisfied, I had to round up all my shipping costs. Perhaps if I have some spare time I will check the code to figure out where are the buggy things...

Or, well, I maybe wrong  Tongue
