Canada Post Updating

[windsurfer]

I have the CPC mod installed in V1.5 and when going to the shopping cart or when the cart is updating it takes a while for the shipping rates to be calculated, just wondering if it is possible to have a message displayed that it is updating or has somebody come up with something like that.
Thank you

I was wondering it if it's possible to include the Canada Post module into the distribution, as its install is quite difficult process.
Also, every time I tried using the module, I had to give up, as it was consistently overcharging the customers and I had to manually correct the invoices 100% of the time.
The module does not seem to recognize the situation where Small Packet rate should be used instead of Expedited parcel.

Or am I doing something wrong?

Hi
I have it installed and it's working perfect for me. When you say small packer rate are you reffering to a parcel to the USA ?

It's worldwide, which includes USA.

I do add a small amt for handling but the numbers are right on compared to going to CPC website and also their rate chart from the post office. I have tested this pretty thoroughly and even selecting different items various quantities to come up with a large amount of items and the calculations are right on, one major reason i am going with Zencart is that i can calculate Other lettermail which i haven't found on any other cart. I have 2 other websites and when somebody orders 2,3 or 4 items the shipping charges are way out of wack because the items are not combined into one. Zencart seems to do that rather nicely. You just have to pay close attention how you setup the CPC module and read through the post. Only thing i don't like too much is that when a customer selects to update the cart it might take a few seconds for the prices to be updated and it would be nice to have an icon or message that advises the customer that the page is updating.
Hope this helps.

Maybe it's just me or my products. I am scared of changing anything once the site is working, because the process of installing CP module is so complicated. Thus using Ship-in-a-click manually every time.
