UK Shipping by Postcode

[4jDesigns]

Not sure if this makes sense, but...

If I have the weight value = 0 for a product, it tells me UK Postcode (Parcel To: (1 x 0.00Kg)) £1.39... which makes sense, but as soon as I put any other value in it reverts to (0 x 0.00Kg)) £0.00, even will a high ratio of 250 in each shipping table.

btw it is also doing it in checkout as well as shipping estimator.

Will play around a bit more, but let me know if you now something extra,

Thanks,
Jay

Hi Mark

I noticed you said I should try installing standard Zones module, but which one would be the standard zones module?

Currently I have UK counties install (http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=299)

This is most likely causing my problem, could you please send me a link to the module that best works with yours.

Thanks.

I did a fresh install an loaded your module, it works fine except that I noticed that my product has a weight of 3lbs and the shipping estimator shows a weight of 6Kg (which its gives the value for correctly 6:6.99)... Does your module convert Lbs to Kg? As the site I am having an issue with I have set my language file to show Kg instead of lbs.

Another thing I have noticed is that if I put in handling fees for each zone it is correctly added to my delivery in respect to my chosen postcode.

If that helps?

With regards to your comment about standard zones, is your module more aimed at the countries setup which defines the address_format? If so, then my country 'United Kingdom' is using format '6' which I think is the standard format for the UK.

We are dealing with shipping so I was suggesting you try the Zone Rates shipping module not Geo Zones, or Localization settings...

The UK Postcodes module doesn't convert lbs to kg, that isn't necessary... Weight is just a numeric value and can equally refer to grams, ounces, lbs, kg, tons etc. The postcode module uses the value as set in the weight field of the product entry.

The weight of the final order is just a combined summary of the numeric weight values.

Any weight suffix (grams, ounces, lbs, kg, tons) is fetched from the language file and is appended to the final number (weight).

Thought it was as straight forward. Been playing around for a few days now, so think its definitely got to do with my Zones.

Let me load new files and see what happens,

Thanks,

Hey Mike

This is completely puzzling me.

This is where I am....

I have got all my zones / countries as per first install.

My Settings:

Postcode = AB31 1AB (Zone 2)
got an item with a weight of 1

Zone 1 Shipping Table
1.00:1.99,2:2.99:3,:3.99:100:10.99

Zone 2 Shipping Table
1.00:21.99,2:22.99:3,:23.99:100:210.99

Zone 3 Shipping Table
1.00:31.99,2:32.99:3,:33.99:100:310.99

Zone 4 Shipping Table
1.00:41.99,2:42.99:3,:43.99:100:410.99

Postcodes are set to your standard list.

My Methods and Results:

calculation method = weight

Result = Parcel To: (0 x 0.00Kg) £0.00

calculation method = item

Add 1 to cart
Result = (Parcel To: AB31 1AB ) £21.99

Add 2 to cart
Result = (Parcel To: AB31 1AB ) £22.99

... and so on.

Why does it calculated 'item method' as it should but 'weight method' does not get acknowledged?

I'm assuming as the 'item method' works perfectly with my postcodes, it would not a problem with my zones or general setup?

I will PM you my details so you can have a look first hand if you have some time.

Thanks,
Jay
