Hello Carley,

What is your test item measurement?

There isn't any option on Canada Post side for "Lettermail".

I just changed the weight limit to .500 kg

test item measurements:
Products Shipping Weight: .001 kg (i tried different weights, without any change in results so far)
Length 5.00 cm
Width 5.00 cm
Height 1.00 cm

and ready to ship is NOT selected

Hello Carley,

In Zen Cart Admin. Go to "Configuration" click on "Shipping/Packaging".

Look for:

Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight and change the value to 0:0 if it is not.

Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight and change the value to 0:0 if it is not.

If that does not work try re-install the Canadapost Module.

Did you cute and paste the "mysql_canpost_dimensional_13x.sql" in Tools/Install SQL Patches?

Hello Royal;

I just set both to 0:0 as instructed.

I did run the SQL patch. I ran it again just in case and got the error saying each of the 6 statements already exist - so they're all there.

I'm still getting the same results, so I'll re-install each of the files & let you know what happens!

Thanks again for all the help - I'm *REALLY* new to all of this & just trying to figure things out & learn as I go.

I re-installed each of the files included in the module.
I"m still getting the same results though - I don't have Lettermail OR Xpresspost showing up in my estimate shipping pop-up (I double-checked that on Canada Post's side I have "xpresspost" clicked so it's enabled, and I do - I've enabled each option they offer).

Oh this is bizarre! I was so preoccupied with the fact that it wasn't working for Canada, I hadn't checked it for USA & International yet. At least it's showing up for those two!

I checked my table rates - the only potential issue I could find is that on the lower end of my table rates for Canada I used the rate amounts for "Medium Lettermail" instead of "Standard Lettermail" as the weights do overlap, but the medium rates are slightly higher (i figured i should go with the slightly higher amounts rather than loose money on every shipment that gets counted as medium instead of standard).
I just changed my tables rates so that the 2 lowest rates listed were for "standard" instead of "medium", doesn't seem to have changed the results at all though.

This is just so bizarre!

22 (was not set to 22 before this, but after seeing what you put, i switched it to 22)


I now have Xpresspost (YAY!!- thanks for that!), not sure why I don't have lettermail showing up though, cause it seems like my set up for it matches what you put up for the most part.

I got rid of "Store Pickup", to see if that made a difference at all. Not offering it didn't make the lettermail show up (i thought maybe it was cause i had too many options showing up?), so i've added it back since it didn't seem to make a difference.

EDIT:
whoops - i didn't see your last post before posting this! I'm reading it now

Hi Roya,

Do you have a suggestion on ho I should handle my shipping.

Product 1 - 25gr (in celophane wrapper) 20x17x0.5 cm
Product 2 - 10 gr (in celophane wrapper) 20x17x0.5 cm
Product 3 - 100 gr - fine art print - would have to be packed into cardboard for shipping (17x22 inches)

I can put one or more of the small items into 1 padded envelope.

The minimum for 1 art print is 1 cardboard box - but I could put more than 1 print into the cardboard box.

How would you suggest I set the weights or tare stuff?
