WooCommerce Shipping & Tax

Description

WooCommerce Shipping & Tax makes basic eCommerce features like shipping more reliable by taking the burden off of your site’s infrastructure.

With WooCommerce Shipping & Tax, 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.
To use the features, simply install this plugin and activate the ones you want directly in your dashboard. As we add more services, you’ll see more features available directly in WooCommerce – making setup simpler.

NOTE: This extension was previously referred to as WooCommerce Services.

This Plug-in was great, until they updated in on October 14th! TOTALLY MESSED WITH THE SHIPPING OPTIONS! Customers can no longer see any shipping options for USPS (which is what I use) I've contacted support 3 times and NO RESPONSE how to fix this issue and its been a week! Small business are losing customers every day from this, PLEASE PLEASE FIX THIS ASAP and respond to us!

Have just seen another review with the same issue. This plugin no longer connects to get live rates from USPS so we can't accept any orders! Customers just see a message that there are no shipping options for their locations. Please fix ASAP so I can back to a 5 star review for you. It has always worked perfectly in the past. I am guessing this is something that happened with the latest update. I just don't understand why you didn't alert your users and provide a fix asap?

As it states, it only works on new products added after the installation. Well it also screws up all existing if you ever touch the settings for it after it once has been activated! Meaning, if you disable it for any reason and then enable it again, all products will not calculate any tax any more!! What's the point of the plugin if it doesn't calculate on all products, no matter how old they are in the shop?

OMG! Why would you create a plugin that requires Jetpack to be installed on a website? Has anyone told these guys what a piece of junk Jetpack is? Note for developer. Warn people that they need Jetpack, before they install your plugin. Utter garbage!
