    help question Canada Post Box Descriptions

    In the Canada Post Implementation Guide, it indicates that I should know what box Canada Post has used for the order via the 'Descriptive Name' I have given the box. However, in my order testing this is not happening. The only information I am getting is this:

    Canada Post (1box(es) to be shipped)(Expedited, 2004-04-10)

    That appears on the customer checkout and in the Admin Orders section. I checked with Canada Post this morning and they say I should be getting information on what box was used (Box A, Box B, etc) and that my developer is responsible for what information I can view. I have combed the Admin section and cannot see anything I can turn on to view the box description.

    Has any Canadian ZenCart user has this problem and found the solution? I would pass it on to my webmaster. Thanks.

    The Canada Post module for Zen Cart only displays rate information, and ignores the rest of the information returned.

    Custom coding will be required to capture any additional information and find a suitable place to store it in the order -- whether the customer sees it or not, etc.

    Hi Dr. B,

    I was keeping my fingers crossed you would notice this posting .
    Thanks for the info even though it is not welcome news. I will pass this onto my webmaster and perhaps down the road he can take it on as a project (I can see him rolling his eyeballs now......lol). I am assuming no one else has done such coding otherwise you would have said; so, we will just carry on.

    regards,
    Anita
