Issue with Shippings Zones overlapping

The more specific zone needs to be above the less specific zone.

It is, however it doesn’t work properly.
I would also like to point a simple detail. In my case I would prefer that the paid shipping option didn’t show if there is free shipping available. I understand that you made it this way for those cases where there are other shipping options (faster for example). Perhaps it could be a good option to add? I used to have a modification in functions.php but it seems it’s not working anymore after the shipping zones update.

Thanks!

Could you post links to some screenshots of your table rates?

Regarding hiding flat rate when free shipping is available – this is the expected behavior. There is nothing saying that flat rate needs to be hidden when free shipping is available. And we can’t do that by default, because many stores will want to offer express shipping along with free shipping still.

You can hide flat rate when free shipping is available though with some custom PHP code like this: https://mikejolley.com/2016/06/17/woocommerce-hide-shipping-rates-when-free-shipping-is-available/

Thank you, here you can see a screen capture of my shipping zones:

As you can see the Zip code option (GBA) is above “Interior” which contains “Buenos Aires”. The zipcodes from GBA are specific cities of Buenos Aires that have a different shipping rate than the rest of Buenos Aires, that’s why when entering the zip code in checkout after selecting the province/state it should change the options.

Thanks for the updated version of the code. However with the previous one I had it set in a way that it only excluded the flat rate but not, for example, local pickup. How can I do that? Also before free shipping showed as an option in checkout, even if it was the only one. Now it doesn’t show up, which can be confusing as the customer won’t find anything regarding the shipping options during checkout.

GBA looks more specific so should be above the other zones. It also needs a country still.

Now it’s working properly! I moved GBA above all the zones but only doing this wasn’t enough. I added the state (Buenos Aires) in GBA too (along with the zipcodes) and it worked!

Thank you very much

What I’m still missing is the Free Shipping part. I only want to exclude the flat rate but not, for example, local pickup. Also before pasting the code free shipping showed as an option in checkout, even if it was the only one. Now it doesn’t show up, which can be confusing.
Thanks!

If you had a snippet previously, you’d just need to adapt the method ids. It will be something like flat_rate:1 to unset it – the 1 would be the instance ID.
