Just spoke with CP Help Desk, they are aware of the issue (thanks, in part, to all of us) and are working to get it fixed... It seems to be affecting the new Developer Forum as well, so that's a good thing for us, as that is a resource that they push pretty hard.

Will update again when it's back online for me.

And we're back online!

LOL, this is the response I received from Canada Post. good thing we're back up running:

Yeah. Down again. Here's notice on their web site:

https://www.canadapost.ca/web/en/blo...ts&cat=updates

Why do they always do that. "Saturday, September 9 at 9 p.m. until Sunday, September 10 at 9:00 a.m. Eastern Time (ET)."

It is not 9PM EST. It's in the middle of the afternoon, not even near their window and I've already gotten calls from customers trying to place orders, but shipping is down.

This question must have been asked a dozen times, but I am not having luck with search function, so forgive me for asking it again.
When I add products to the shopping cart, the shipping rate just keeps multiplying instead of doing combined shipping. Is this the only way Canada Post module works?
With recent jacking up the rates 2x by Canada Post this is going to run me out of business in a short time, as when a customer sees $30 for shipping two diodes from Toronto to Winnipeg, they just bail out and go to the eBay where it's free shipping from China all over the world.

I can't speak to technical code aspects. But do you have package sizes established in your CPost profile that will accommodate multiple items. And if so, are the package dimensions given in the same sequence as used in your product description - ie a 2 x 3 x 6 product won't compute to fit in a 6 x 2 x 3 box. These are only things I can think of if mod is merged/installed ok.

Good luck.

Tried playing with the old Canada Post module again, but I cannot seem to get it to load.

When adding /includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php into its directory, it "breaks" the admin interface with and without the fix from #284 Any suggestions?

Warning: the current Canada Post Shipping Module for Zen Cart 1.53 will not work out of the box. There are coding errors...

I am currently rebuilding the module to be compatible with Zen 1.55f, will post updates/bug fixes when complete.
