Magento - Show shipping methods by default on cart page

2

I'd like to show available shipping methods on the Magento cart page, all the time.

I have a Magento 1.8.1 store that uses destination-independent shipping methods. The price of shipping is the same no matter where the products are being shipped. By default, Magento requires some elements of a destination address before it will show the shipping methods. I'd like to show the shipping methods by default on the cart page.

Anyone solve this one already?

you need to add a country by default for all shipping methods you want to show always – Kingshuk Deb
@KingshukDeb - I'm not clear on what your referring to. Is this an answer? – Laizer
YES..you need to add default country to shipping methods..shipping methods basically work on destination. So set a default country for shipping options which will not show on frontend. – Kingshuk Deb
This answer doesn't work for me. I'm not clear what you're recommending. – Laizer
I'm not sure what you want. Do you want the selection of the shipping method within the cart or just adding the costs of (the first) shipping method (and so a preselection)? – bukart
