Do we just need to update the ozpost version to fix this?

I love the way these companies just spring these changes without advance warning (not).

No, you'll not need to update the ozpost client code to resolve this. I'll be doing it server side later this evening.

Having said that though, I had also planned to release another ozpost module for zencart this evening anyway (but I'll be holding off on this in case eGo have introduced any new methods).

It seems that this is the month of many changes. Australia Post have separated themselves from the 'Ebay' offerings and introduced some new Click n Send methods, and Transdirect have made some significant changes to their API, as well as adding some new methods and dropping others. The server changes for these have already been made, and the client code has been updated to reflect the changed methods. IOW, even though you shouldn't need to update the ozpost module to resolve the Ego problem, it would be prudent to do so anyway.

If you haven't done so already, could you please click the buttons to uninstall and reinstall, and let me know if the problem persists.

That did it. I always hate doing an uninstall/reinstall in case something disastrous happens but it seems to have worked fine .

Hi Rod,
I am using Zen Cart 1.5.1 and the latest download of OZCart. I am only interested in the Fastway courier service and changing the prices for the courier. Is this possible?

Thanks, Rachelle

Hi Rod,
I am using Zen Cart 1.5.1 and the latest download of OZCart (sic). I am only interested in the Fastway courier service and changing the prices for the courier. Is this possible?

Yes, it is possible to only enable the FastWay courier methods, and the prices can be adjusted via the handling fees.

You can't specify your own prices though because that pretty much defeats the entire point of ozpost, which is to provide accurate real time quotes.

You should also consider the fact that Fastway don't deliver to all suburbs, so having them as the only carrier is going to cause an issue for many potential customers.

Hi Rod,

Installed ozpost module to use with tnt and Aus Post.

Aus post is working fine but for the life of me can't get TNT to work, I have entered my login details and account number.

Any ideas?

Assuming your account details are correct, this generally means that the 'RTT' service hasn't been enabled for your TNT account. You will need to phone or email them to have this activated (it's not enabled by default).

There are two error messages that the TNT servers return that provide a clue as to exactly what the problem is.

The 1st one sates "The username or password is incorrect" . I assume that you are NOT getting this one.

The other states "The account number supplied is invalid or not assigned to this login", which means a call to the CIT Helpdesk on 1300 851 131
