Shipping Postal/Zip Code Issue

[BeerBender]

Hi there, here is my issue.

I live in Canada about 15 minutes from the border.

I am trying to set up my site so that when Canadian customers order, their product is shipped from Canada. I have installed and configured the Canada Post module to calculate rates from the closest Canada Post office.

When an American customer orders I will drive accross the border and ship to them from a USPS office. I have configured the USPS module to calculate rates from the closest USPS office.


Problem is that both the Canada Post and USPS modules grab the origin postal/zip from the same place

configuration/ shipping/packaging

So I can only use one module at a time.

How can I have a different postal/zip code for each module. Is their a way to hard code it into the module?

Thanks in advance!

How long will it take you to deliver cold beer to me in Mid Michigan? This could be a great service. Beer 2 Peer.

Shipping is based on your Postal code I have no idea how to do it except ship it to a USA address to be forwarded.

Search the threads as one shop does the same thing except his wholesalers on both borders will drop ship for him for Canadian or USA addresses.

Well what I am trying to accomplish is have the Canada Post Module (which zone I have set to Canada Only) calculate from the closest canada post office to me, which its postal code is V0X 1X0

(I will be shipping from that post office)

Then I want to have the USPS Module (which zone I have set United States Only) to calculate from the closest USPS office to me, which its zip code is 98295

(I will also be shipping from that post office)


Problem is under configuration shipping/packaging I can only have one postal/zip code and BOTH modules grab from here.

I know I could just ship to the US from Canada but the rates are extremely high and I don't want to have potential customers not purchase due to high shipping.

As far as drop shipping, I manufacturer all my products so that is not possible. Like I said that USPS post office is only 15 minutes from my house so its not a big deal for me to make a trip there when I receive orders from US customers.

Find this line in your Canada Post module:

      $this->_canadapostOrigin(SHIPPING_ORIGIN_ZIP, $country_name['countries_iso_code_2']);

and replace the SHIPPING_ORIGIN_ZIP with 'V0X 1X0' (including the quote marks).

Then set your Admin My Store postal code to your 98295 zip code.
