Why can't items from my website be shipped to certain addresses?

[mollumi]

(Your cart has been updated and the items you added can’t be shipped to your address. Remove the items to complete your order)

Hi @mollumi,

This is a common checkout error. You can check out other community threads to understand the issue clearly. 

However, it will be easy to understand if you share the combination of testing you are doing. Mostly it appears if the shipping zones, rates, shipping profiles or product weights are not configured properly.

Hi, @mollumi.

When this message appears, it's normally due to the configured shipping rates on your store, as @Anindita mentioned. You can investigate this by navigating to Settings > Shipping and delivery > Manage rates. From there, you can double check for the following:

1. Make sure that the address being entered on checkout is included within your Shipping to zones.
2. If you've created your own shipping rates, make sure that the order total on cart falls within your price or weight conditions of your shipping rates.
3. If you have multiple locations on your store, check that the products on checkout are being stocked at a location that already has shipping rates attached to it. A location with active shipping rates will show up under the Shipping from heading. If any one of your locations don't have shipping rates on them, they will show up on the very bottom of this page under the heading Not shipping from, and it will give you the option to add shipping rates to these locations.
4. You can also double check your products on cart and ensure that they've been marked as a physical product within the product page on your store's Shopify admin, so that they're eligible for shipping. Check out the 'Shipping' section of this help guide for more information on this.
5. Are you using any third-party apps to configure your shipping rates too, by any chance? If this is the case, you can double check the shipping settings on the app to see if you've set it up correctly for it to pull through to your checkout.

We have a handy document here that will help you set up your shipping rates, if you need it. Once you make any necessary changes or edits to your shipping rates, you can go back and test your checkout again on your end, just to see if the shipping rates will now show up successfully.
