[vik007]

is it possible just to have customers enter a country only, and the shipping costs are worked out from

1. country (Not [postcode)
2. weight

ok iv managed to mess about with this mod...

my aim is to basically allow the following shipping methods:

1. All UK Residents pay the same
2. All Europe customers pay the same
3. Rest of world eg US pay the same


Would that mean i have 3 regions?

how would i go about setting this up....any help wud be great..thanxs

FANTASTIC! Took no time at all to figure what I needed out. Took me longer to figure out the money conversion when I went to go donate!!

Only problem I have is with the Zen Cart shipping estimator. If I select 'Ireland' as the country the IE rates appear. But with 'United Kingdom' selected (and no postal code entered) I get nothing. I thought the catchall GB region tables would display in that situation?.

Anyone else encounter this problem with the shipping estimator, or is it just me? I badly need the 'we don't ship to your location' message.

I am also having the same problem. Not sure what to do about it.

Hi,

Apologies for not replying to any messages here, didn't have notifications set up so didn't realise anyone had posted!

We're working on an even better version of the module which should make things even easier to set up as you'll be able to specify the shipping descriptions alongside the individual shipping methods, rather than having to mess about with language defines.

I'll also take a look into the shipping estimator "issue"... at the start of next week hopefully.

All the best...

Hi,

Would that mean i have 3 regions?

Yes.

You'll have to add lots of countries into the Europe and "Rest of World" regions but it's just a matter of entering them... should only take about 15 mins.

My suggestion would be to just get the list of country codes and start adding them alphabetically. E.g. you could use PHPMyAdmin to look at the countries table in Zen Cart, sort by "countries_iso_code_2" and put the appropriate countries into the appropriate region definitions...

Region 1:
GB

Region 2:
AD,AL,

(Above is Andorra, Albania...)

Region 3:
AE,AF,AG

(Above is United Arab Emirates, Afghanistan, Antigua and Barbuda... etc.)

It'll take time but it'll accomplish what you want! :)

All the best...

Hi Conor,

Great module...good work.

I was wondering if your module could enable a customer to select a different region and not have it rely on the one that the address is compatible with. For example, my shop needs to allow users to select one of the following shipping options:

UK - £0.00
Europe - £6.00
Rest of the World - £9.00

I basically need their address to be independent of their shipping destination, since I don't request their billing address until after.

If your module can't do this, could you provide hints on how to go about this? Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Many thanks.

Hi,

Iv created my products and given each product there weight.

Eg Cricket balls : 1Kg

when you add to cart it states at the top weight is 1Kg..which is fine:

But when you click next i see the following:

Personal Delivery (within 10km): Free if Order Total Over £50, £1.50 if Under (1 x 4.00Kg(s))


Why does it calculate it for 4 Kg???

Where is he extra 3kg coming from??

thanks
