Troubleshooting Shipping
Trying to place a test order and getting the dreaded "No Shipping Method Found" although you are using an address you ship to? Here are some of the most common reasons for this error while using FedEx, UPS & USPS.
Where to Begin
Orders > Settings > Shipping Origin
Make sure the Shipping Origin section is filled out. FedEx and USPS will pull the rates from the zip code that you provide in this section.
Make sure your shipping method is set to "Enabled for Checkout - Yes".
If you are live and using live rather than test credentials, make sure you have Mode set to Live and Sandbox set to No.
Double check that you have the correct Shipping Origin in place (Orders > Settings > Shipping Origin).
Make sure every product has a weight assigned to it.
If you've got all of those covered and have double checked the settings like allowed countries, maximum weights, and shipping methods, it's time to move on to check if your credentials are correct.

After you have checked all of the above, saved the configuration, done a store refresh, and run another test order, you should be able to complete the checkout and proceed past shipping.
