 * The weight based shipping is not the default shipping method even after I pull
   it to the to top of the shipping options. I have tried to login as guest on a
   seperat webrowser in wich i deleted all cookies and chache. But still I cant 
   get the “weight based shipping” to be the default one. I even tried to clear 
   wordpress chache but it had no effect.
 * How do I get “weight based shipping” to be the default shipping option?
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdefault-shipping-method-3%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * WooCommerce selects the very first shipping option appearing for an order as 
   the default one. Then caches it.
 * So you just need to reorder your shipping method so WBS comes first. More details
   in the WooCommerce docs: [https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-shipping-zones/#section-8](https://docs.woocommerce.com/document/setting-up-shipping-zones/#section-8).

 * We have done this also. But still the default option remains Local Pick (dutch:
   Afhalen).

 * While the weight based shipping is on top!

 * [@conversiewebsite](https://wordpress.org/support/users/conversiewebsite/),
 * WooCommerce should be selecting the topmost shipping option as a default one.
   If that’s not the case I believe it would be better to address your question 
   to the WooCommerce support forum. Since this behavior isn’t controlled by Weight
   Based Shipping.
