I tried a test purchase and it comes up with this:


There are no carriers available that will deliver to this address!

Im not sure if i have set my website up as located in america or something??! where can i find this out???

I guess this as when i unclicked the europe tick box, this error message above came up when i tried a test purchase.

thanks

You should go to Shipping > Countries, change the default country to "United Kingdom" and click the tick next to every country except "United Kingdom" to disable them all. That way, the only country option when signing up is "United Kingdom". You can then go to Shipping Zones, rename the "Europe" zone to "United Kingdom", then click the ticks next to the other zones to disable them. You should then go to Shipping > Carriers, edit each carrier and make sure that the "United Kingdom" zone is ticked. If you haven't already added a price or weight range to the carriers, go to Shipping > Prices ranges (if your shipping is based on price) or Shipping > Weight ranges (if your shipping is based on weight), then create ranges for each carrier. You should then go back to the Shipping tab, select each carrier in the dropdown at the bottom, then enter the cost for each range, then click Save.

thankyou rocky, i followed all the above.
I then tried a test order and got this error message:

There is 1 error :
this address is not in a valid area


Any idea :/

Go to Shipping > Countries and make sure that United Kingdom is in the United Kingdom zone.

hi there, thansk for the reply:

Yup, its set out like this

245 United Kingdom GB United Kingdom Enabled

It is the following code that generates that error message:

if (!isset($_POST['id_address_delivery']) OR !Address::isCountryActiveById(intval($_POST['id_address_delivery'])))
   $errors[] = 'this address is not in a valid area';

Go to the Shipping > Countries tab and make sure that the country in the delivery address has a tick under "Enabled".

jajajaja I had the same problem, here is my solution.

Shipping -> Zones Create UK (Delete others)
Shipping -> Countries Create UK in UK zone. Status enabeled, CHANGE contain states to yes.
Shipping -> States. Create UK states.


"There are no carriers available that will deliver to this address!"
Setup one carrier for and add delivery prices.


Check out your Account info and be sure is set it up in new changes.


Don't get stressed, this happen.
