We are sorry, no shipment method matches the characteristics of your order.

[April23]

I am about to pull my hair out.     After reading every thread on this topic, I am still at a loss on how to fix this issue.

When a user logs in and goes through the checkout process he/she gets the following error:

Please select a shipment method

We are sorry, no shipment method matches the characteristics of your order.

The vmbug looks clean as far as I can tell:

Please help, I don't want to jump off into the deep end here. 

Thanks for reading.

Check countries & currencies are the same if specified in the shipping plugin and shopper address, and that weight ranges (if used) are correct in shipping method, including correctly set minimum and maximum.

I appreciate the super quick response!

Countries and currencies are set to "available to all" and the shopper does not have an address entered as most of the products are electronic (no shipping needed).  Weight ranges are not used. 

What are your thoughts?

[jenkinhill]

Are you using a virtual product shipping plugin? If you have any shippable products at all IMHO you should still have a billing address for each shopper and shipping address if different.

I am not using a virtual product shipping plugin as the products are the ability to upload photos and vote on the photos (no downloading).  Should I be using a different plugin?

I do have a calendar that is shippable or available for pickup--do all customers HAVE to enter shipping/billing address?  This seems different than previous versions so I would love to understand.  Thank you!

So your "Virtual product" is actually a Joomla permission. I'm not sure how you would set up shipping on that, but you could not use the same shipping plugin as fopr shippable goods. Maybe you need something like this: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=112127.0

I will give it a whirl and report back soon.

A side question, is there any way to bypass shipping completely? 

[April23]

Looks like the plug in is working.  I made a rule that says, "Name=or for pickup; 0<= Amount; 0" and it seems to bypass needing the address.  I am having someone else test it right now to be sure, but whew... it seems to be working.

I appreciate your help greatly!!!!

[jenkinhill]

For testing and for those vendors who include shipping costs in the product price I set up a shipping plugin where the only thing I enter is the Shipment Name  - something like "Free shipping". Save that just as it is!

Thank you so much, jenkinhill.  I can finally breathe better now that this is fixed!    <3
