Canada Post module

OK - I figured out the answer to my questions.

Canada Post Module with Lettermail 1.3.8 will install on Zencart 1.3.7. following the same txt instructions as for installing onZencart 1.3.8.

And to my question about lettermail codes...on the edit screen of the module, if you leave the USA rates BLANK then it will not offer that service and will bring up the Small Packet rate as appropriate (if you have that enabled in your Canada Post profile).

I've tested this on the local copy of my site. I'll test it a few times more before loading onto my live site.:smile:

Okay, I've found an interesting bug in the Canada Post module. I have a site that sells fabric by the yard, and offers increments of .5 yards. When I have a cart filled with items in whole number quantities, the module works correctly. However, if any of those items are in decimal quantities (eg. 1.5 yards), the shipping estimator table is empty on the view cart page, and the Step 1 of checkout returns an "XML parsing error" message in the CP shipping method.

If anyone knows a fix for this, I'd be much appreciative! Here's the URL (please remove the spaces):

www . pink panda fabrics . com

Oh, and I'm aware that the site is set as "down for maintenance" - taking that away did not solve the problem...

Thanks!

I am at a total loss for what to do.

I have been using the Canada Post Shipping Module since April 2008. It has been fantastic.

Within the past two weeks it has just stopped working. If you click on "Estimate Shipping" from the cart the table is empty. If you go through the checkout process there are no Canada Post shipping options to chose from.

This is the link to the store:
http://www.hotdiggitydogger.ca/store/

There are only two products to choose from so it is not very complicated (I thought).

I checked with my web host and the 30000 port is open. I checked with Canada Post and they don't see anything wrong with my account and there isn't an error log being created.

I have not changed anything. It just stopped working one day.

This is the Version I am running:
Zen Cart 1.3.8a
Patch: 1::
Database Patch Level: 1.3.8
v1.3.8 [2008-04-24 21:18:21] (Fresh Installation)

Any help would be GREAT. I have searched to no avail and I have no idea where to look for a solution.

I am not a techie, programmer or Zen Cart Guru, so I am really at a disadvantage.

Thanks for any advice.

Hello Bajaguy,

Have you install any mod lately?

Re-Install the mod again and see if that help.

In your Admin: Go to Configuration and click on Shipping/Packaging.

Change Shipping Estimator Display Settings for Shopping Cart to 2.

Hi, Royal
Thank you for your comments.
I did a complete re-install of the shipping module, but nothing improved.

I had not installed anything new prior to shipping module issue. One day I had an order process fine, the next day a customer contacted me letting me know that they could not get shipping options. It has not worked since then.

I did change the shipping estimator display. Thank you for that tip. I like this display much better. I would really like the display if it included the Canada Post estimated rates.

I hope to figure it out soon. This is not good for my customers.

Hello Tim,

I'm sorry that did not work.:(

Try this - In your Admin: Go to Modules and click on Shipping.

Look for Canada Post. Take notes of all your information. Click on Remove.
Then click on Install. Input your information if needed.

Hi, Wendy

I did the remove and install with no success either :frusty:

I am wondering if there has been some type of corruption to the Canada Post Module files in the sql database. If so, I am really stuck, as I don't know how to access that. As I mentioned before, I am not a programmer. I was happy to install the Zen Cart and get everything working last year. I have not had to touch anything or make any new changes since then.

I guess as a last resort I can install a whole new instance of Zen Cart from scratch and rebuild the store. That seems to be the only option I can think of, and the only option that has me cringing.

Again, thank you for your suggestions.

I'm having an issue where the CP module is not displaying Xpresspost as an option within Canada. Just Expedited and Priority Courier. I would like to offer Xpresspost because Priority is really pricey and sometimes Expedited isn't fast enough.

I've enabled that option on CPC's server.

At first I thought it might be a dimension issue, but it seems to be unavailable no matter the size of the box/order.

Any ideas? www.lankylizards.com
I'm running ZC v1.3.8a

Hello laurahowes,

That happen to me too. This is what I did. Since Regular Parcel and Expedited have the same price. I enable Regular Parcel, Xpresspost and Priority Courier in Sellonline.

Hello laurahowes,

By doing that I will be able to see Xprespost, Priority Courier and Regular Parcel.
