So you could directly change the checkCartMethods function code. However, I would recommend either: - creating a class override of the shipping class, extending the default class and implementing your own checkCartMethods function - or event better, create your own hikashop plugin implementing the onAfterCartProductsLoad trigger to set the shipping id yourself in the $cart object and saving it in the database with the updateShipping function. With the trigger solution, you'll have a more stable solution for future updates as it's not likely to change in the future.
