Issue with shipping options

[mindsnare]

Hello

I am having an issue with the shipping options
I selected Static Shipping Methods with the following shipping methods

USPS First Class Mail -5 - 7 Days - FREE USA - ship rate 0.00 ship threshold 0.00
USPS Priority Mail - 3-4 Days - $4.99 - - ship rate 4.99
USPS Express Mail - $18.99 - - ship rate 18.99


I get the following error message when I try a test checkout
What am I doing wrong?

Shipping Rate Setup ERROR: Please visit the EasyCart Admin -> Store Admin -> Rates and add at least one shipping method.

Thanks
Sean

Ok figured it out - It looks like it was an issue with the shipping zones. They showed up after i removed the customized North Amera shipping zones,

Yes, the problem people have with shipping zones is they try to limit shipping to that zone, that is not what a shipping zone is for. Shipping zones are like a post-address filter after the user enters an address, if it finds a matching zone, it can apply special shipping just to that user now that it has the address... otherwise, best to leave shipping zones off and that way even a user in their cart will see a shipping rate.

IF you want to limit shipping to only US or north america, then go to the store admin -> settings -> manage countries and remove countries you do not ship to from the selectable countries.
