Canada Post module

[carley]

I installed the updated "canadapost.php"

I put a fake item in my store to test it, that should fit well within the lettermail limits (my store hasn't "launched" yet, so it's all "test items" right now), but I don't have Lettermail showing up when I click on "estimate shipping". I also didn't have ti showing up before installing the updated php file.
I seem to only get results for regular shipping, not lettermail.

Any idea what i might need to change/fix here - any help or tips would be greatly appreciated?

Edit:
Also - i have enabled lettermail rates in my shipping module - it's set to "true", incase that info helps at all

Hello Carly,

I have change "Lettermail" to "Regular Mail". Is that what you see "Regular Mail". Just look for "Regular Mail" in includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php and change it to "Lettermail".

        case 'CA':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("[:,]", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN'));
            $lettermail_service = sprintf("Regular Mail: estimated %d-%d business days", round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 2), round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 4)); //factor in turnaround time
            break;
          }

Change to:

        case 'CA':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("[:,]", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN'));
            $lettermail_service = sprintf("Domestic Lettermail: estimated %d-%d business days", round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 2), round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 4)); //factor in turnaround time
            break;
          }

Ah, OK - I NEVER would have thought of that, thanks Royal!
I DO see "Regular", it's coming in at the same price as Expedited right now though. I'll change that in the pho file & see if it fixes it - I'll let you know in a moment!

Hello Carla,

If you just see "Regular" that is for "Regular Parcel".

Example of what you should see:

Canada Post (Priority Courier, 2011-04-12)

Canada Post (Xpresspost, 2011-04-12)

Canada Post (Expedited, 2011-04-12)

Canada Post (Regular, 2011-04-13)

Canada Post (Lettermail: estimated 4-6 business days)

Did you setup your "Lettermail" correctly on Canada Post side? Do you have a link for your website.

            break;
          }

OK, I tracked down that part & changed it to "Domestic Lettermail", like in the code you attached, and it's still doing the same thing - in the "estimate shipping" pop-up box, it still shows up as "regular" and still with the exact same price as expedited.

I also tried changing it to just "lettermail" instead of "Domestic Lettermail", and had the same results.

Store Pickup (Walk In)

My store can be found here: http://nurturedsewnaturally.com/store/
(i haven't changed very much from the original layout of zencart, even the text is the same - I'm trying to get the modules figured out before i list all my products & change what pages say).

The product i put in to test letter mail can be found in the "PRODUCTS FOR TESTING SITE" category


On Canada Post's side I have the dummy box that you start out with & 1 lettermail option that i put in just to test lettermail - the specs for the lettermail envelope match those given as an example in the "Lettermail_readme" instructions:
Description: Lettermail_0
Weight Limit: 30
Box Weight: 0.010 kg
Length: 25.4 cm
Width: 16.2 cm
Height: 2 cm

I did just notice that in the "Shipping Services" section on Canada Post's side, that I only have Priority, Xpresspost, Expedited, Regular showing up, there isn't an option for lettermail there - I'm not sure if there is supposed to be though.

Thanks for all your help Royal!

Hello Carley,

Change Weight Limit to: 0.500 kg

What is your test item measurement?

There isn't any option on Canada Post side for "Lettermail".

Hello Carley,

In Zen Cart Admin. Go to "Configuration" click on "Shipping/Packaging".

Look for:

Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight and change the value to 0:0 if it is not.

Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight and change the value to 0:0 if it is not.

If that does not work try re-install the Canadapost Module.

Did you cute and paste the "mysql_canpost_dimensional_13x.sql" in Tools/Install SQL Patches?
