Australia Post Shipping Module 2.0

[jenpen]

I have just installed and set up this mod. It is enabled but not showing up as an option on the cart. What have I done wrong?

[bruce429]

I just installed it on a test installation and it worked. Did you get your Auspost key?

[jenpen]

Yes, and in admin it's got a green light. Maybe I'll reinstall. Thanks.

Nup, reinstalled, same problem. It's like it's not there at all. I even installed the International part, even though we don't want it.

Rechecked the readme file, I've done everything. What could it be???

[jenpen]

Getting desperate now. I need to get this site up.

I have installed this mod three times. In the admin, it all looks fine. But when I try to place an order, it's not there at all as a shipping option.

Does anyone have an idea what might be wrong? Mr Mod-contributor? Anyone?

I gotta remove my subscription from this thread...

I don't think you'll be getting any support from Mr Mod-contributor - he has never shown any interest in supporting the mod.

I've spent quite some time trying to get this module to work properly (keyword is properly) and gave up in the end - it's just not worth it. There's another module available - ozpost. I know it's subscription based, but look at it this way: how many hours of work have you invested in this module so far? How many more hours will you invest to get it all work properly and retrieve valid quotes? Also, how much frustration and hair-pulling does it involve? And ozpost subscription is a measly 10 bucks per month...

I must point out - I'm no way affiliated with ozpost nor do I make any profit from their module. RodG (the author of ozpost) is a very respected member of this community and spends numerous hours supporting other fellow Zenners for free - now imagine what kind of support his paying clients receive. I know that for a fact because I've recently witnessed his support with one of my clients and was quite surprised with the amount of patience he had...

I have two sites. In 1.51 it works and in 1.53 doesn't. Period. I think we need an alternative. I am not sure why Zen developers not taking Aust users seriously and develop it once and for all. Without the shipping how can one use?.

[bruce429]

I look after two sites too. One 1.51 and the other 1.5.3. The shipping module works in both.

Hi thanks for the confirmation. Yes It is working next day for some reason.

Only problem is now regardless of which Aupost option I select it always assigns the last option on the list 'Express Post Platinum Satchel ' . If I disable all but 'Regular Parcel ' it still lists ' Express Parcel ' as the last option as selected.

Another words with only one 'Regular Parcel' option installed
1 x item at 0.5 kg
Aupost $7.20

but check out displays with options
Regular Parcel ( Parcel Post ) $7.20>> shows as BOLD SELECTED at the ESTIMATE pop UP
Express Parcel( Express Post ) $9.90 >> SELECTED at the checkout

Any ideas please?

I just got an email "Change to the IP address of Australia Post API on 17 October 2014 may impact your business." Does this affect those of us using this module?
