Hi everyone,

I’m setting up shipping on my Shopify store and running into an issue I can’t figure out. I’m using Printful for fulfillment, but I removed all Printful shipping rates and created my own custom shipping setup in Shopify.

Right now I have:

• A flat rate shipping (€4.95)
• Free shipping over €79
• Rates based only on order price (no weight conditions)

The weird part is:

• If I add 1 product to the cart → shipping works fine
• If I add 2 products (even the exact same product) → I get this error at checkout: “Shipping not available. The items in your cart don’t meet the requirements for available shipping rates.”

So it doesn’t seem to be a location issue or multiple warehouses, since it happens even with identical items.

I also tried simplifying everything to a single flat rate with no conditions at all, but the issue still persists.

At this point I’m wondering:

• Could this be related to product weight settings?
• A misconfigured shipping zone?
• Or something with how Shopify handles profiles internally?

Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas on what I might be missing would be hugely appreciated

Hi everyone,

I recently launched a new Shopify ecommerce store and I’m using Printful as my dropshipping supplier. I’m running into a couple of shipping-related issues and was hoping someone here has dealt with something similar.

First, I’d like to set up a flat shipping rate for all orders, while still keeping Printful’s estimated delivery times visible/accurate at checkout. The problem is that when I override the shipping rates manually in Shopify, it seems to ignore Printful’s delivery estimates and instead uses the generic ones I set. Is there a way to keep Printful’s recommended delivery times while applying my own flat rate?

Second issue: when customers order multiple products that are fulfilled from different Printful locations, the shipping costs stack up. I’d prefer to charge a single flat rate per order, regardless of how many items are in the cart. Ideally, I’d also like to offer free shipping once the order exceeds a certain value.

Has anyone found a good workaround for this setup? Apps, custom configurations, or best practices would be super helpful.

Thanks in advance!
