No shipping method setup for your country

[jerseyjoe]

This is a pretty maddening issue. The error message itself is so vague as to be of no value at all. (The English syntax error it includes only adds to the grief - "setup"is a noun but the sentence uses it as a verb. The correct, verb form would be, "set up.")

The issue seems to be related to configuring shipping by weight because my problem began with a test order for a single item weighing a single pound generated a "too heavy" error message.

Configuring the item weight to zero as a way of figuring things out stops that message - but then the no shipping method error comes up - even though UPS is already configured.

The interface for configuring UPS shipping by weight is so uninformative as to what is wanted that it is useless. A few examples of correct configuration would be a huge help.

For example -

The first item, the drop down for enable / not enable is obvious, but for a shipper based in the US, the next box

(Zone 1 Countries:

(List comma separated ISO codes)

Is vague, confusing, uninformative and confusing.

It makes no sense to put in US because common sense tells you that rates vary across the US.

So what goes here? States? That's still not right because UPS calculates rates by zones and those are not mapped to states.

But just for the hell of it, I put NJ in there as a test because the shipper is also in NJ and the test account is in NJ.

Try to process a test order - it doesn't work. "No shipping to your country."

And what setting or configuration goes in the other boxes?

Who knows?

This whole topic needs more help than it has been getting. The number and frequency of requests for help in dealing with it - and none of them seems to attract a comprehensive and coherent resolution - should be a red flag.

So, a basic question - is there a step-by-step tutorial?

The video tutorial for configuring shipping avoids dealing with it by showing how to configure or free shipping (unacceptable) and per item (irrelevant) - but does not mention configuring by weight, a configuration that is essential to calculating fees for shipping by almost any carrier.

Has anyone created a step-by-step tutorial on configuring shipping by weight for UPS and USPS?
