LIVEWIRE RADIO BUTTONS not functioning properly

Guys i'm having a problem figuring out something with livewire....

Shopping cart Delivery Method radio buttons are not working properly and SHIPPING AND HANDLING cost line in Cart Totals isn't being updated properly (or sometimes it's blank) especially when changing between countries.

I'm using Laravel 8 with livewire, latest versions, with darryldecode/laravelshoppingcart shopping cart package.

Your help would be greatly appreciated.

To Reproduce

1. Go to dev.razmerautoparts.com
2. Browse to any item and click on BUY NOW. You will be redirected to shopping cart.
3. Shipping rate may or may not display properly, depending on your country. Shopping cart determines your country by IP address and if you are in CANADA or UNITED STATES - CONTINENTAL, shipping rate might not show up in cart totals. If you are outside of United States and Canada, your shipping rates will be displayed and GROUND method will be selected automatically and cart totals will be updated. If you select AIR shipping method, your cart totals will update.
4. If you are outside of UNITED STATES or CANADA. Pick another country from DELIVER TO modal. Select CANADA or UNITED STATES continental. For those 2 countries, by design, only ground service is available by default so no air quotes are given. GROUND SERVICE rates aren't available, so you'll end up with one shipping rate. It will appear next to radio button and radio button appears to be selected, but cart totals will still be carrying old shipping rate from your previous country with AIR shipping method. Notice also that $active_shipping_rate hasn't updated to GROUND on page load. It doesn't get updated when you click on radio button.

Expected behavior

Shipping and handling line must be filled with appropriate amounts on page load and must be updated when radio buttons are manipulated and countries are changed. For UNITED STATES - CONTINENTAL (COUNTRY ID 233) and CANADA (Country ID 39) $active_shipping_rate must be GROUND. All other countries must have $active_shipping_rate set to AIR. Everything should be displayed correctly on page load (without having to click on radio button) and Shipping and Handling amount in cart totals must be properly display. If user changes country on cart page, everything should still work.
