shipping erroneously added to cart total before checkout

    Today I upgraded WP and plugins to the latest versions, including WooCommerce (3.2.1) and free version of Shipping By Rules (2.0.2). I also switched the Legacy SBR to the new Shipping Zone rules. I immediately see a problem on the View Cart page, where Shipping By Rules are added to the total before the purchaser ever enters billing or shipping address info. This is so wrong.

    In WC Settings|Shipping Options:
    * uncheck Enable shipping calculator on the cart page
    * check Hide shipping costs until an address is entered

    So add an item to the cart, then View Cart. The cart page shows the table of items, and below it:
    Cart totals
    Subtotal $30.00
    Total $33.50
    [Proceed to checkout]

    The $3.50 difference is the Shipping By Rules value based on the SHOP address. This is pretty bad, since it looks like a calculation error. If it were me I’d be pretty suspicious and think twice about continuing with the purchase. Plus it totally disregards the Shipping Options I set.

    Is this a problem with the core WC, the SBR plugin or something else?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

    Never mind – I see it’s a core WC issue. Changing
    WC | Settings | General | Default customer location
    to “No location by default” resolves it.
