Nevermind - I just found the issue. I logged into Canada Post's Sell Online area and discovered under "Shipping Services" that all the previously-available options for US shipping had mysteriously un-checked themselves. :frusty:
Hope this helps someone else!
Good day, Everybody,
I installed Canada Post module. I am not sure if it is installed properly but Canada Post option appears in the shipping options.
My suspicion that the module is not installed properly comes from the fact that when I am inserting a new product I am not seeing any requests to provide dimensions of the product. Also I do not see that the weight of the product is measured in kgs.
I hoped that this all might be cured by establishing a connection with Canada Post server. Unfortunately, the server was down, and I could not set up my account with Canada Post. This is yet another concern for me - if the server is down regularly and for long time why to install Canada Post module at all?
Please help me to verify that the module is installed properly and is functioning properly. Also, I would appreciate your comments on reliability of Canada Post server.
Thank you.
If the dimensions fields aren't showing in your admin when editing your products, then you didn't upload the module's new /admin/includes/modules/*.php files to replace your existing ones.
And remember: the /admin/ folder in the zip must be matched to the /your-renamed-admin-folder/ on your server ... whatever you called it.
Thank you, Sir,
That was spot on 100% correct.
Just wanted to say that the module covered in this thread works great in Zencart 1.5.1
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=4
The site still shows it for version 1.5.0 but that version works well on version 1.5.1
signing up with Canada Post's "Sell Online" service is easy enough but not necessarily obvious on the Canada Post site. Once you have signed up for it and receive your merchant code things work as advertised.
Thank you Dr. Byte.
I've seen a couple of posts about the discontinuation of SellOnline and the last of a shipping module for the new Canada Post web services. Someone created a module for osCommerce - I'm hoping someone with a bit of skill may be able to port that to ZenCart? :)
SellOnline has some serious limitations that the new web service does not have (such as actual dimensional quotes rather than having to pre-define boxes etc)
The osCommerce module is at: http://seanzhuang.wordpress.com/2012...1/#comment-305 if someone wants to take a look.

Does this module support attribute dimensions?
I have a situation where the module has been updated , so does zencart, but for some reason when adding a piece, in stock, in my cart and trying to see when it would ship out. The estimator gives me 2 weeks of postage. I did a test with my stores adress and I still got two week shipment for something that is in stock.
Any idea of what could be causing this estimated delay?
Hi, I have an issue whereby I have some products that are shipped, and some that are downloaded. It seems that if a customer buys a shipped product the CPC module works fine. If they order only downloadable products then everything is fine. However if a combination of shipped and downloadable products are ordered, shipping gets applied to the downloadable items. This is my first zen cart site, so perhaps I have an incorrect setting somewhere.
Has anyone had experience with this?
Thanks
Dave
Good day,
I have installed the Canada Post Shipping Module on a freshly-installed copy of Zen Cart to see if this "XML Parsing Error" that I am getting with my modified copy of Zen Cart manifests. It does indeed, I'm sorry to report. So it must be a wee bug in the CP Shipping Module. Everything else with the module works absolutely flawlessly, and I'm really impressed with the software! Now if I can just get this one fair problem solved we'll be all set. Here's my vitals:
Zen Cart: v1.5.1
PHP: v5.3.28
MySQL: v5.5.33-31.1
Server OS: Linux 3.2.54
HTTP Server: Apache
The error only happens when shopper tries to purchase a product (or products) which has the 'Always Free Shipping' value set to 'Yes' in Admin > Catalog > Categories / Products. The error goes away by simply adding another product to the cart which has the 'Always Free Shipping' value set to 'No'.
It seems the Canada Post Shipping Module is slightly stumbling in communication with the Canada Post servers when shipping is free for a product.
Could a kind soul please offer some insight, and perhaps even a solution, please? :smile: I would be eternally grateful! This is the only issue I'm having with the entire setup.
Thank you very much,
Darren
