Must've been your imagination.
There's no reason why I *haven't* included Express Post Platinum, other than until now, no one has asked for it.




The 5kg Express Post XL is now included with the 'pre-paid express satchels' setting as this is now an officially listed and stocked product.

The 3kg XL is listed separately because they are not listed in the current AustPost pricelists and are only available from some outlets.



No. The Satchel dimensions reside on the server and are not user changeable.

However, due to the nature of the satchels what can be fitted into them (by dimension) is somewhat variable and far from an exact science, so if need be I'm happy to tweak the settings.



I follow what you are saying, but the solution is to use packaged dimensions for your products. If I make the satchel dimensions larger than they really are it is going to really mess things up for everyone. Including you.



An allowance has been made for this.



As mentioned, this isn't an exact science, and I'd be happy to tweak the figures if you find that this is consistently occurring. However, allowances have been made to take height factors into account, and if anything you should find that the module will err on the side of caution, in that you are more likely to find items will fit, even though the module suggests they won't, rather than the items not fitting and the module suggesting they will.



No, but as with your question about minimum label costs, it shouldn't be too difficult to hack the code to perform this task.
I can't see me adding it as a feature, mainly on account of the fact that it will require quite a complex user interface for the admin settings (what is the order value, what are the tracked services, are all the tracked services enabled or just some of them, how does the user select them, etc, etc.

By hacking/modifying the code these decisions and preferences can be performed 'as needed' without the overhead of what could be a confusing interface.

Hi Rod

Thanks for all your answers. Much appreciated and understood.

I don't mind hacking the code. I'm not very skilled but skilled enough to customse the earlier AustPost Improved module to get it working flawlessly for me. Same with the old Fastway module.

Btw, A2 vs A3 Fastway satchels were throwing me in regards to item length vs satchel length. The way it is now, I think the price is the only thing that distinguishes between an A2 or A3 satchel, as 'A2/A3' seems to be specified in both cases.


My wishlist:
1. Assistance with code hacks for Fastway minimum cost.
2. Inclusion of Express Post Platinum
3. Dimensions factor... like 'Tare percent' weight factor. Or assistance to hack code myself.
4. Assistance (point me to the correct file) for modifying Order Confirmation email text and Order History text. I want to include the Fastway Label Colour and/or Satchel Type and Transit days as I use these in dispatch functions to determine best option for my dispatch and for advising transit time when sending out dispatch advices to customers.
5. Assistance with 'Tracked services only for Order Value and PayPal payment method' hacks.

I realise I'm asking a lot and understand if you're not able to offer too much assistance but pointers in the right direction at least would be a great help for me.
