I honestly can not believe that way over a year after, this is still an issue. Shopify needs to fix this, or make it optional.
An ecommerce solution that can not cater for a merchant with two or more locations that wants to offer free shipping over X dollars..?! Or at least not double or triple shipping costs - ? It is absolutely incredible.
We lose merchants on a weekly over this issue.
For more than a year Shopify has answered with the old «we are aware of the issue - and may or may not provide a solution, but we do not have a time line» — still, when our merchants complain to Shopify support, more often than not the support staff are not aware of the issue and keeps pointing merchants to apps and other shopify experts - which makes us look stupid - until they realize that none of these apps or experts can help them either.
please Shopify, this is an sos call from a Shopify Partner. Fix this.
