[ic] Shipping Costs Not Showing Up

<<< I got a quick fix. I created a hidden variable in the cart component
that says:

<input type=hidden name=country value=US>

Now I get shipping by weight calculations when I'm not logged in and without
having to press recalculate and without the user having to enter the zip
code first.
Unfortunately, if an account is created with a Canada country value, this
little quick fix will overwrite that value in checkout and defaults back to
US, because that's the variable I'm passing.  In my varible.txt file, I
have:

SHIP_DEFAULT_COUNTRY	US	Shipping

That doesn't seem to get me anywhere though.  Because I still need to create
this hidden variable.  Does anyone have a better solution for our beloved
Canadian neighbors?  This has got to be a known bug, but I have yet to see a
good fix, hopefully it will be covered within the next release.  I'm
currently running RedHat7.3 Interchange 4.8.3 >>>

Make sure your country database has the right modes specified.  Zip code
must be specified to perform the shipping cost lookup as well, so if you
put the zip code in and then did recalculate, that would cause the shipping
to show up.
