This Address Not in Valid Area - Error

[lemongrass]

Hi!

I have just started to setup my shipping and am having problems.
I have one shipping only - Australia Post - to Australia for $7.00

Under Shipping>Carriers I have Australia Post enabled
Shipping to: Oceania and Enable

Under Zones I have Oceania enabled
Under Countries- Australia is in Oceania and is enabled

Under Price Ranges I have set Australia Post from $0 to $1000
Under Weight Ranges I have set Australia Post from 0kg to 1000kg (although I'm using pricing - tried with and without setting weight range)

under Shipping I have: Free SHipping set at $1000 or 1000kg

Under Fees I have set Australia Post for Oceania for a fee of $7.00

When I try to checkout I am told the address (using Australia from the drop down box) is not in a valid area?

I'm sure it's simple but I can't see where the error is!

Thanks
Ernie

Is Australia set as the default?? I will have a look at my shipping set up then get back to you as i had this issue when setting mine up but managed to work it out. My shipping is based off weight is yours flat rate??

My shipping is $7 flat rate!

Thanks

Is Australian post set to default also? With my shipping based off weights i may not be of any help :S
for weights have you tried 0 to 1 then 1.01 to 1000? for me australia is set as
Australia, AU, Australasia, status enabled, states disabled under carriers i have australasia enabled in all my carriers (this is probably not helping)
If i remember back when i was having issues it was do to with my countries but everything you have done is correct i think.
If you search through the wiki documentation there is some information on setting up shipping which may be of more use to you

Hi!
I will look under the wiki but it is a help if you seem to think I'm not missing anything obvious!

Thanks

Have you changed the country/zone assignment in any way? I have just found that if you move a country to a different zone, it will be marked "deleted" and a new record will be added to the country table. This will, however, invalidate all current address records using the "old" country, which will then all return the error mentioned.
