Hi John2400. I had one of my contacts have a look at this and has fixed the issue. I think it's a hack and not ideal, but it works for now which is the main thing. So obviously (if you are) you can stop looking. Thanks very much for your input though!

Great - could you write that you solved it or post the hack and then mark it solved on the post.

This was driving me NUTS! I finally found the issue: I was checking out as a guest and kept getting the error about no shipping options available, so I checked the "Shopper Group" listed in the shipment method information tab. The "Default" shopper group was listed but the "anonymous" was not listed. I added "anonymous" to the shopper group and that fixed the problem! See screenshot.

atedder,

????

Could you try and set the shopper group to nothing , don't add default or anonymous.-- leave it blank and try - you are adding shopper groups you may not need.
Same in products, postage etc -- where it says shopper group leave ""slect an option"

The shopper goup is really targeting a special group you want to give a discount to or $10.00 . If you keep adding groups you will have to add then in products , etc , etc.

Hi, I've got the same problem. My shipment method is only available for logged in users. It's not visible to guests. The shopper group was set to default so i've unset to 'select some options' and it still doesn't work. I also tried setting it the shopper group to annoymous but even that is not visible to guests. Any ideas?

EDIT: Just checked the shipment plugin. After upgrage there appears to be two
VM - Shipment, By weight, ZIP and countries
VM - Shipper, By weight, ZIP and countries

I changed it to VM - Shipper, By weight, ZIP and countries and it all works fine now. Does anyone know what the other plugin is - I presume I can just delete it?

ZX81,

just make sure that in modules you have published the shipping methinds and payments. they will be almost the last modules in the list.

Remember - the "selet some options" should be on products too - you will have to go back through the shop and check them all , and your shopper groups - don't set too many groups. " again that should be "select some options" unless you are giving a discount to some special group.

I think you might be looking for too many shipment groups - Just create one yourself _ " say postage free"" include all zip codes ""

The shipper "" or shipment - that is discussed in another post somewhere - regarding the change of wording - Have a hunt for it in search.

Hi,
Please try this:
In the function checkConditions of the plugin

replace
$address = (($cart->ST == 0) ? $cart->BT : $cart->ST);


by

$address = $cart->ST;
if (empty($address)) {
    $address = $cart->BT;
}


Where is this file?

the only way they do not show up is when they are assigned to something


states, countries, currencies, shopper groups

What ever came of some of these issues?  I am a bit upset!  I spend money on the USPS module. no support documentation, and I have spent the last several hours trouble shooting to get it to work and no luck.  Not to mention the JS issues VM has.  If this is all a goo combination, then I am willing to pay someone to fix this ASAP.

Thanks.

I am also having this exact same error.  I have tried every combination imaginable including disabling and enabling everything that was recommended in this feed and I still have the issue.  I am running Joomla 2.5.4, VirtueMart 2.0.6, and USPS Plugin 1.7.  Please help!  I am completely stuck and the documentation just provided offers no help.  I have done everything that is says to do.

I 've come accross this issue also, The only way I could figure it out was to change the country for the shipping rate to Empty. This cured the problem instantly. but obvioiusly this only works if you are only shipping to one country. A little option in the admin to define the default country might help - so that the system thinks you are already in eg the UK unless you login and define something different.
