Title: Change default shipping method Last modified: August 30, 2016 --- # Change default shipping method * [ashkas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashkas/) * (@ashkas) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/) * We currently allow customers to receive items one of two ways: * 1. Pickup 2. via Australia Post (Jigoshop plugin) * After customers put in their shipping information, the option of “pickup” remains as the default selection. We would like to change this, as many customers who are too far away to pick up, are completing their transaction without selecting an appropriate Australia Post shipping method. * Is there anyway we can have one of these pre-selected once they have entered their shipping address? * And if this is not possible with the Australia Post plugin, is this then possible with say the Premium Shipping plugin? * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/jigoshop/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/jigoshop/) Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total) * Thread Starter [ashkas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashkas/) * (@ashkas) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/#post-6220718) * So I’ve investigated this further and noticed that there’s a function in jigoshop_shipping. class.php for dealing with exactly this (that is, preventing local pick up from being the default selection). * This is on lines 240 – 274. * It appears that this is a bug, as it is not working. I tried changing shipping method from Australia Post to Flat Rate, and local pick up was still continued as the default selection. * Can this please be investigated? * Thread Starter [ashkas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashkas/) * (@ashkas) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/#post-6220719) * Also I test this by changing to TwentyFifteen theme, and the issue continued. * Plugin Author [MWSGD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwsgd/) * (@mwsgd) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/#post-6220821) * I’m asking someone in development about this and will reply. * Thread Starter [ashkas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashkas/) * (@ashkas) * [11 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/#post-6220822) * Great thanks for that. As we’re frequent orders where people are selecting “local pick up” when they aren’t local, we need a work around for this asap. * Is there any code change your developers can recommend so we can work around this in the meantime? * Thread Starter [ashkas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashkas/) * (@ashkas) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/#post-6220905) * Are there any further updates to this? * Plugin Author [MWSGD](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mwsgd/) * (@mwsgd) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/#post-6220910) * Could you post the System Info? * We haven’t encountered this in testing. Have you tested as a guest and even as a guest in a different browser? * Thread Starter [ashkas](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ashkas/) * (@ashkas) * [10 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/change-default-shipping-method/#post-6220913) * Sorry for the delay, for some reason WP is not notifying me on updates. * I’ve tried this with and without default WP themes, and it doesn’t seem to work for us. I’ve also tried this as a guest and in multiple browsers. * Please see below for system info: * ``` WordPress Environment Home URL: [?] https://www.pepesnewmarket.com.au Site URL: [?] https://www.pepesnewmarket.com.au Jigoshop Version: [?] 1.17.6 Jigoshop Database Version: [?] 1503180 Log Directory Writable: [?] ✕ To allow logging, make /home/pepesnew/public_html/wp-content/uploads/jigoshop-logs/ writable or define a custom JIGOSHOP_LOG_DIR.

I’ve sent it to development. Jigoshop defaults properly to the lowest non-‘local-pickup’ rate with other methods I’ve tested. I have replicated the problem with Australia Post. Development is checking.
