ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

That's good that it's a rare issue, That leads me to believe it could possibly be server related,

Could be, but I'm not prepared to jump to this conclusion.

as 'flat rate' is designed to only come up when there are issues with client/server communication right?

Correct. (as well as if valid methods cannot be obtained for other reasons)

The issue comes up about every maybe 4th-5th refresh/check out.

I think if this were a common problem a lot more people would be screaming about it.

I have not been able to recreate the issue as of yet other than refreshing and having it appear randomly, no real timing to it.

Did you enable the debug option for any clues?

I'm using The latest version of ozpost

That's what everyone says. On the odd occasion it has even been true, but mostly it isn't.

I currently do not have a URL to have it tested

Not much I can do for you then (I sold my crystal ball when I gave up the TV/VCR repairs).

as I have uninstalled it for testing other shipping modules,

You do realise that zencart is designed so that more than one shipping module can be used at any given time, don't you?

I just wanted a basic idea if it was a problem only I was experiencing or others were having issues with as well.

But nonetherless, you assumed it was a common problem that "has probably come up quite a bit".

I'm so far leading to believe it's quite possibily a cURL issue with my web host.

Is this just another wild guess, or have you some other reason to think it would be a cURL issue?

In my experience, cURL is either enabled and working, or it isn't, the fact that 4 out of 5 times you get a valid result would suggest to me that your cURL is fine.

I'm looking into alternative methods for Australia shipping and insurance however considering it's a rare issue I've been having with Ozpost,

This forum is for ozpost support only. If looking for alternative methods you would be better served using a different forum.

I may look into it a bit more.

I think you exaggerate... "a bit more" implies that you've already looked into it... The contents of your postings would suggest that this the first step of 'looking into it' that you have actually taken.

Thanks for the helpful info Rod.

Other than 'correcting' your assumption that the problem "has probably come up quite a bit" I have said and done nothing helpful at all, and your 'thanks' is premature.. if you really want my help please avoid assumptions and exaggerations, stick with facts, and most importantly, give me something to work with, because only then can I be of any help.

Cheers
Rod
