It took me a very, very long time to fix a problem I was having with my shipping methode. I had selected flat rate shipping as the only shipping methode, but on my orders there was never any mention of this and it was never added to the order total either.

I had made modifications to the files, so I thought this might be it. But it wasn't.

I finally fixed it like this: in Admin -> Modules -> Shipping, click on your shipping method. Then select 'none' for Shipping Zone. Your shipping method will now show up.

I am very much aware that this won't work for everyone, I'm not sure what Shipping Zones are but they might be useful to Americans for example. I however have no need for it, as Holland is one country with one shipping service. I'm hoping that I can prevent someone in the same situation as me from spending so much time on this annoying problem.
