I just tried the LiveTest, and received this message at the end of an order:

You must select a shipping option before continuing.

Actually, it never asked how I wanted the product shipped.

This is the biggest issue with carts I think. Can Ubercart be set up so I control the types of shipping I am willing to make available, and then let the user choose which ones? Can you direct me to where this might be illustrated?

Thanks.

Re: Shipping options

I think you were on the livetest when we were changing settings around to test some new features. Right now, the livetest gives me options for UPS services, and a few created by the flatrate module. Try testing it out again and see if something useful happens.

Yes it works

Thanks. It is working great. However, we ship USPS Priority Mail exclusively. Can the flatrate module you referred to ship USPS. Thanks.

Re: Yes it works

The USPS module lets you choose which services you will display to the customer. If you allow more than one, they can make the choice during checkout. The flatrate module is merely a way to make custom options for the shipping quotes. You can put USPS names on the flatrate methods, but it won't print the labels for you or anything. Of course, neither does the USPS module.

Shippiing options

I am in the process of installing Ubercart but in the process crashed my entire site, so while I am trying to rebuild it, may I ask this question. I see that Ubercart handles USPS, but does it handle USPS Priority Mail? We ship everything this way.
