You get that error because you didn't configure the "main zone" in your configuration. Make sure that it's set to one of the zones of your shipping methods and it will display the shipping methods and not that error.

I do have the Main Tax Zone set in the config setting.
[ ![config&#95;tax&#95;zone.png](/forum/attachment/2564) ](/forum/attachment/2564 "...g&#95;tax&#95;zone.png")

My two shipping plugins are here:

Manual shipping plugin which ships to all of Australia
[ ![manual&#95;shipping&#95;plugin&#95;settings.png](/forum/attachment/2565) ](/forum/attachment/2565 "...n&#95;settings.png")

Australia Post plugin to ship worldwide but not to Australia
[ ![australia&#95;post&#95;plugin.png](/forum/attachment/2566) ](/forum/attachment/2566 "...ost&#95;plugin.png")

Is this then a bug?

No.

It's because you set post code restrictions to your first shipping method. Because of that, that shipping method is discarded as the user doesn't have yet a post code.
Or it could also be that the products in the cart weight is over 10kg.
