Canada Post module

[laurahowes]

That is so bizarre. That postal code doesn't work for me, either.
I guess if it is only the odd postal code that excludes Xpresspost, that doesn't hurt me too bad, but WHY??

Hi
I have the mod installed now however it is not calculating the costs correctly.

My first question is does it use the server / login to pull info from? If so that is the problem as we are waiting for the login etc.

Also noticed many options you talk about are not in the mod? why do I not see it?

I added a weight to an item to test. .200 and have letter mail enabled however it is 8.90???? should be like 3$??

any help? or advice to what i am doing wrong.

Hello Prissypups,

Hey
Ok I played with the setting s bit and seem to get the numbers close in regards to shipping fees. I do have a few questions that I need clarified if possible.

What is the diff between expedite vs regular vs priority?
Why does xpress post not show for me despite being checked on in the CP site?

In regards to calculating costs.. where does the mod draw the amounts from? is from the CP server or from the numbers I input into the options?? how do I know what numbers to put in. at the momment I have it at default.

As for packaging for us our envelops we sell are 14.5" x 9.5" and will fit through regular mail. (depending on the number of dog outfits in it).

What should the settings be? typically 1 item for us is 250 grams.

can anyone clarify? is there a way to verify that it is calculating correctly?

thanks v much
Jim

I have the latest version of the cart (installed last week)
I have the latest version of the CP add on, installed this week.

I have 2 websites, www.australiancaching.com/store, old version of CP works fine.

My other store, www.nacaching.com/store is on the same server, like a subdomain, I don't even get rate quotes for CP, so I know it is not a problem with the port, as the other is working.

My CPC_ etc is set for the other store, and when I phoned CP, they confirmed that regardless of the store, it will work (my settings in CPC are linked to the Australian caching site, they say it makes no difference, either will work)

All settings in new store seem fine, just nothing showing up.

I would have just set up a new customer number with CP, but get the error "phone number in ust with another account" and wouldn't let me go further (I am not getting a new phone to add an account to CP)

Any guess as to why it won't work?

DISREGARD THIS, GOT IT WORKING, forgot to add post code, not needed for quotes in Australia, just found out it is needed for quotes to USA and Canada, so it was working all along.

My bad, how embarrassment.

Hi there,
I am little confused with installing the CP shipping module...
I have upgraded to ZenCart 1.3.9d (from v1.3.9c) yesterday. I just installed v1.3.9c not long ago and I was just learning how to get around so none of files were customized so I printed out changelog files and simply copied to my site.

Now, I am trying to install CP Shipping module and I got confused. I downloaded the file named canada_post_shipping_module_1-3-8c (I think this is the latest one available?!) and came with instrustion doc says "v1.3.7. and I uploaded new files listed but I noticed some of the listed files need to be overwritten.

I just copied the same files yesterday (namely
admin/includes/modules/product/collect_info.php
includes/classes/shopping_cart.php )
in order to upgrade to v.1.3.9 so I am not sure if I can upload the same name and overwrite these files...

Also, other files:
admin/includes/modules/copy_to_confirm.php
admin/includes/modules/update_product.php
admin/includes/modules/product/preview_info.php (if I copy this file, file size will be from 9,501(1.3.9d) to 9,319 (1.3.8c??).

Can I just override to my 1.3.9d files???
Any help for newbie will be greatly appreciated.

Hello Shinmai,

You can overwrite these files. But by doing so. You will not have the benefit of the new updates from 1.3.9d.
