If/when you upgrade to WooCommerce 2.6, you should immediately set up your shipping zones (if you use shipping) and then re-save your minimum/maximum settings (even if they have not changed – because WC's internals have, and the saved settings need to reflect this). A dashboard notice will remind you to do this.
