Issue

Shipping methods are not available when the new user is registered, and products in the cart are from the guest session.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Go to Admin > Stores > Configuration > Sales > Delivery Methods. Enable only the Flat Rate shipping method and disable everything else.

2. In the Flat Rate shipping method, select the Specific country option available in the Ship to Applicable Countries setting and select one country from the list (e.g., United States).

3. Go to Admin > Stores > Configuration > Customer > Customer Configuration and set Require Email Confirmation to Yes.

4. Create a new Email Template in Admin > Marketing > Email Templates and load Footer (magento/luma) template and replace the template content with a CMS block.

   {{block class="Magento\Cms\Block\Block" block_id="footer_links_block"}}
   

5. Go to Admin > Content > Design > Configuration and select the theme which relates to your frontend website. Set the "Footer Template" to the new email template created.

6. Go to the frontend and add a product to the cart.

7. Create a customer; you'll get an email to confirm the email address. Click the verification link. You will be logged into the website.

8. Go to My Account and add an address. Set the address country to the shipping country that you set in the admin configuration previously.

9. Go to checkout.

Expected results:

Shipping method is available, as the customer has an address that is compatible with the shipping country.

Actual results:

Shipping method is not available.
