Zone rates & MZMT shipping modules, how to make it work properly?

**langtu123** · 20 May 2006, 12:40 PM

Hi,

I'm currently lost in trying get Dreamscape's MZMT & Zen Cart's Zone Rates Shipping Modules working properly.
No matter what I've done, the output (when customers check out) of MZMT look like this:

Ground (0 x 0.00g) $0.31
Second Day (0 x 0.00g) $0.31
Next Day (0 x 0.00g) $0.31
($0.31 is the handling fee i've set up in admin, so the module found no product and its weight in shopping cart)

(I've configured the products_weight and the figures in shipping table properly, or it's what I thought, at least)
Zones rates module seem to have the same problem.

Any ideas to solve this? pls help. My zen cart version is 1.3.0.1
Thanks you in advance

P.S I've made this post a day before in a forum that seem to be dead and can't figure out how to close it. So, pls don't blame me to be a double-posting rascal. Thanks.

Here is my altered MultiGeoZone for use in the UK. Please be aware that the two sql scripts will probably need to be altered as they are designed for my own installation. Hopefully it will help others out - also please remember that the original MultiGeoZone mod was created by its author and not me - I have just altered it for my own use.

Hi,

Thank you all for helping me with the problem I've got, especially jayson.gurney.
I'm trying your mod and will refer to you soon if I can finally make it work as wanted.

Best regards,

The problem seems to be in my tweaked store, not in MZMT and Zones rates, as it works fine on original 1.3.0.1 zen cart store.

I've got to figure out what causes problem or else have to again work with original zen cart 1.3.0.1 from scratch, and it's labour-intensive.

To solve the problem, I'd be much appreciated if anyone could show me the way these modules and Zen Cart interact since it appears that, in my store, MZMT and Zones rates cannot find the number of the products in cart and show the zero (0) number instead. By the way, other shipping modules (come with zen cart) work fine.

Thanks and best regards.

as seen here: http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...t=36270&page=2

i am having a similar problem. I installed the Geo module and it filled in the rates, but it doesn't seem to be the right rates, AND it adds 3KG to any order people make!

if you have a solution for this plase pm me. I am willing to pay someone to fix it up for me, it's quite urgent.

Zen Cart does that. It's in one of the configuration options, though I don't recall exactly which one.

thanks, i found it. it was in Config -> shipping

my only problem now is that the rates seem a bit off. Like 1.5kg from the UK to Canada would be 15 pounds, seems like alot? IS there an sQL file with the REAL rates from Royal Mail?

I used Jayson's file but i am not sure it's up to date or accurate.

Clearly, it's me who cause my own trouble. Changed the value of "Config -> shipping/packaging -> Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship" to zero (0) at the very first time and completely forgot what I've done before.

Now, making several changes to the values in shipping/packaging and everything just can't be better.

Thank you dreamscape for making MZMT a great mod and all other people for your help so far.

Best regards.
