    Default Shipping Estimate

    We'd like to add the ability for a customer to get an estimate of shipping charges on the product page where they could type in a zip code without having to log in and create an address. Does anyone have any recommendations on how to accomplish this efficiently? I'm afraid this is going to be a major task.

    Shipping tax estimator was already built-in the latest builds, see the manual. You should consider upgrading if you want that feature.

    Default Shipping Estimate

    How can I keep the Shipping Estimate from showing in the product sidebar?

    I tried to comment out <--<uc1:BasketShippingEstimate ID="BasketShippingEstimate1" runat="server" />--> in MiniBasket.ascx, but this caused script errors to popup. It also prevented some items from being added to the cart, so I put it back.

    For anonymous customers, the user would have to need to select Country and or City, State, and Postal Code. The lowest cost shipping rates will be presented as the estimated shipping rates.

    This part doesn't seem to be working. Could you help? I selected the Country and or City, State, and Postal Code but the estimate was $0.00. Thanks.

    We'll, if you don't need the Estimator. You can easily switch the AppConfig: ShowShippingAndTaxEstimate off...

    Ram, in the "State" field in the shipping estimator you should only enter the state abbreviation. Example, for New York, you'll enter NY. If this still gives you $0 amount, submit this to support so we can take a look further.
