Canada Post module

[Fiks]

wow batman, I just waisted HOURS trying to get the lettermail to work on a fresh install of both zencart and cp shipping module, after hours i removed everything and re-installed it to have the same result, and i spent so much time just changing the boxes in CP profil, then i red throught all of that thread to finally stumble on your post, made the change and everything is working great...

Thanks a lot

Using Zen-cart 1.3.9h and Canada Post Shipping Module 1-3-9h lettermail, shipping rates did not work for me.

After reading all of the posts, trying everything suggested, staring at my product dimensions and configuration both in zen-cart and at Canada Post, I finally broke down and decided to debug the code. I had nowhere else to look.

I discovered this in includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php:

    if ($this->lettermail_available && ($shipping_weight <= $this->lettermail_max_weight))
    {
      /* Select the correct rate table based on destination country */
      switch ($order->delivery['country']['iso_code_2'])
      {
        case 'CA':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("[:,]", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN'));
            $lettermail_service = sprintf("Domestic Lettermail: estimated %d-%d business days", round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 2), round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 4)); //factor in turnaround time
            break;
          }
        case 'US':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("[:,]", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_USA'));
            $lettermail_service = "U.S.A Letter-post, up to 2 weeks";
            break;
          }
        default:
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("[:,]", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_INTL')); //Use overseas rate if not Canada or US
            $lettermail_service = "INTL Letter-post, up to 2 weeks";
          }
      }

I don't think those preg_split calls will work properly unless they look like this:

    if ($this->lettermail_available && ($shipping_weight <= $this->lettermail_max_weight))
    {
      /* Select the correct rate table based on destination country */
      switch ($order->delivery['country']['iso_code_2'])
      {
        case 'CA':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("/[:,]/", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN'));
            $lettermail_service = sprintf("Domestic Lettermail: estimated %d-%d business days", round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 2), round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 4)); //factor in turnaround time
            break;
          }
        case 'US':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("/[:,]/", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_USA'));
            $lettermail_service = "U.S.A Letter-post, up to 2 weeks";
            break;
          }
        default:
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("/[:,]/", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_INTL')); //Use overseas rate if not Canada or US
            $lettermail_service = "INTL Letter-post, up to 2 weeks";
          }
      }

The regular expression "/"s are missing.

Or at least, that's what I had to change to finally get the
lettermail prices to work.

Ok - I put a post here because I wasn't sure If I was getting a conflict with ezPopulate:

http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=176918

but further research here shows that the issue might lie more with Cda Post shipping module than the EZpop one.

I read a couple of posts here (after the post above) but am unsure what the solution was here.

I have successfully mad my store using the EZpop and love it but I am being hit with the size dimension thing.

Product 1
Weight = 0.06 kgs
Length = 20 cm
Width = 16 cm
Height = 1 cm

Have tried checked and unchecked and hit save.

When I go back into it it says:
Product 1
Weight = 0.06 kgs
Length = 12 cm
Width = 12 cm
Height = 12 cm

Module is installed correctly and I have a Cda post ID as well.
Have set it to using their pricing.

Any ideas?

I've currently got my module set to letter rates.

If the quality of products goes above the letter size does it then give me the package rate?

[janissaire]

Bump plz

Does anyone have the answer as to why the Cda Post module is resetting the length, height, width back to 12x12x12?

The check boxes also will reset.

I am starting to think of uninstalling Cda Post and go with UPSXML instead - but I don't seee size dimensions there.

Does anyone know what the canadapostbak.php file is for?

[DrByte]

I would expect that's a backup file that should have been deleted. It most certainly should *not* have kept a ".php" extension. Same goes with any payment or shipping module.

[janissaire]

Ok - since there doesn't seem to be any answers to my posts in this thread...re 12x12x12

How do I remove Canada Post info from my products in the Catalogue? I have uninstalled it from admin.

where are you putting the dimensions mentioned above ? are you talking about the CPC module?
I have issues with this as well and am trying to perfect it.
and it concerns lettermail.
the module is calculating costs correctly based on our price check with shipping to same destination on Ebay using CPC. however I can't get lettermail to display. and it doesn't display on Ebay either. Funny thing is I have zone rate enabled in the shipping module and the CPC shipping estimator produces a flat rate cost that seems to be correct . the client wants it to say lettermail to give customer a comfort level.
I will keep posting my findings ....

Hello janissaire,

I'm sorry that Canada Post Module is not working for you. I had same problem at first. Then a check the files and notice that I mix up the 2 canadapost.php files. I upload All Files in the correct location and Then I was ready for business.

Helo janissaire,

If the quality of products goes above the letter dimensions or size it will give you the package rate.
