Shipping Error for some customers

Hi there, I’ve been using Shopify for over a year and have not made any changes to my shipping.

Over the last two days about four customers have gotten the below error message when trying to checkout.

‘Your chosen shipping rate is no longer valid. Please select another rate’

Other orders are coming through fine. Sometimes they are selecting courier, other times click and collect so I can’t seem to identify a common thread?

Everytime I go test the site it works fine. 

Any ideas? I can’t help but think it is a bug as I haven’t made any changes to the shipping options? 

Any help anyone can give would be super appreciated!

This looks like a bug. Have you tried contacting Shopify support?

Hey, @Shazlyndon!

I'd love to check this out for you in more detail, can I take a look at your store? I can try a test checkout for you if you could reply and post a link to the store, we can take things from there. Thanks!

Thanks for the update, @Shazlyndon! I do hope the team were able to find a resolution for you. 

@johncAthra I'm sorry to hear you're facing a similar issue, were your customer able to provide any screenshots of what they were seeing? If you go to the Orders section of your admin, then select the Abandoned Carts section, you can see the orders they would have tried to put through. Can you check to see what products they were trying to buy to make sure there is a shipping rate in place for these products? Also, for your shipping rates, can I ask how they are currently set up? Thanks!

Hey, thanks for reaching out! Could you show me some screenshots of the error the customer is seeing at checkout? Also, can you confirm you have shipping zones and rates set up for the products the customer was ordering plus the location of the customer?

Was this ever resolved? As we are seeing this same issue now..  However, its only coming up after the customers have received rates and then made some changes to the cart.

Oh yea, we've contacted Shopify multiple times, tweeted and created this Google doc to document what's happening at a very detailed level. 

 

Here is a link to the document, please take a look and add to it if you'd like:

Thanks, but we’ve been in touch with Shopify, the developer for the app that delivers our shipping rates and multiple third party developers with no solution yet.  I appreciate any additional assistance that anyone can provide here.

Wow, check this out.. this is what Shopify is saying about this multi-year bug that is effecting everyone.. amazing

 

Our developers are still discussing the best solution to the issue, but we've still not moved to the implementation stage. Since we have a straightforward workaround at the moment that addresses the issue but doesn't impact the store's overall functionality, it may end up being integrated into a future update rather than addressed directly - we're just not at the point where it's been decided yet.

Todd, thanks.  But, this is troubling!  Did I miss something here?  What is the workaround?

Yea, I have no idea.. Try again? Refresh? Reboot? Pray? Something along those lines
