As this screenshot us tells:

img

there are 4 elements with class name selectArea. And the first one is invisible. That's why you are getting:

selenium.common.exceptions.ElementNotInteractableException: Message: Element <div id="ship_to_outer" class="selectArea"> could not be scrolled into view.

So, first of all you have to specify exactly which element you want to click on. For example first dropdown:

img2

has id, and it could be found like this:

driver.find_element_by_id('inventory_outer_0').click()

There are 4 buttons with the same class name "ship_to_outer" - the first one is hidden, so you cannot click it. Try below code instead

driver.find_element_by_xpath('//div[@class="selectArea" and not(@id="ship_to_outer")]').click()
