radio buttons

Mutually exclusive options

Radio buttons are a set of circular selectable options in a user interface where only one can be chosen at a time—selecting one automatically deselects the others.

The name comes from old car radios with mechanical preset buttons that popped out when another was pressed.

Click the radio button next to your preferred shipping method.
