eParcel Shipping Intergration / Extension

[spycity]

Can anybody on this forum make a module for intergrating shipping with Australias eParcel system?

From what I understand, there is an extension for magneto:

Surely, we have some people who make this happen.

I'm willing to contribute some funds towards this

The magento extension is for Australia Posts 'new' API (the replacement to the obsoleted drc.edeliver system. It is *not* for eParcel.

Surely, we have some people who make this happen.

I don't think a 'module' for eParcel is possible because it uses a propriety system. It also does a *lot* more than what the new API does, IOW, it is more than just a quotation system.

What is it that you are wanting?

Hi Rod,

I guess I want to know if it's possible to process an order and have it link to eParcel so I'm not doing things twice such as copy & pasting shipping information and if a label can be printed as well.

I have a hosted website package with network solutions spycity.com.au and am building a new site using zencart at spycity.net.au .

I am doing this because I am limited with what I can do with ns and the fact that they are not very helpful, to give you one example, I wanted ns to make the Australia instead of the usa as the default region for the checkout as many of my customers think my site is based in the USA which i think is costing me sales, they say they can't change it.....

So I am asking these types of questions in order to find out what is possible on zencart before I spend too much time and money on it, don't get me wrong zc seems to be one the best packages out there, but i am a little concerned all the add ons I will require.

You don't need eParcel for this. Click N Send (http://auspost.com.au/clickandsend/a...send/index.asp) will be suitable.
The ozpost module supports the CnS CSV imports.

Even if there was some kind of eParcel integration for ZC it wouldn't do you much good without an eParcel account, which as I recall requires a minimum of 30 parcels a week to be eligible.

'ns' ???? (Name Servers??). I don't see how they are relevant.

What you are probably wanting is a bit more tweaking with ZC.

For example:
Configuration->Customer Details->Create Account Default Country.
Set this to 'Australia', which I beleive is what you are after.

Cheers
