 * Hi [@startechmarketing](https://wordpress.org/support/users/startechmarketing/)
 * Thanks for reaching out!
 * I understand that you are using another shipping plugin on your site and would
   like to know if the [WooCommerce Shipping & Tax](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/)
   plugin is necessary in order to configure shipping on your site, is that correct?
 * [WooCommerce Shipping & Tax](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/)
   makes basic eCommerce features like shipping more reliable by taking the burden
   off of your site’s infrastructure. With [WooCommerce Shipping & Tax](https://wordpress.org/plugins/woocommerce-services/),
   critical services are hosted on Automattic’s best-in-class infrastructure, rather
   than relying on your store’s hosting. That means your store will be more stable
   and faster.
 * Since you are using a third-party plugin to configure the shipping settings of
   your site, you could opt to not use this plugin anymore.
 * Hope this helps!

 * We haven’t heard back from you in a while, so I’m going to mark this as resolved–
   we’ll be here if and/or when you are ready to continue.
