Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

[charmedbytina2]

Yes, all the rates will be gone after you uninstall. So backup first before you uninstall. Simply copy and paste the rates to your notepad. Then copy it back after you reinstall.

Thanks for the response - that's what I thought, but wanted to verify!
GREAT module!!!

I have tested by setting up four zones. But the fourth zone is not shown in the "Shipping Modules > Zones Table Rate" area.

I'm quite new to this. Can it support more than 3 zones? Or is 3 zones good enough for all situations?

Thanks.

Have you installed this module?

I have used this module and set up shipping with 35 zones! All are working perfectly!

Suggestion: set up all the zones you need then uninstall the Zone Table Rate and then install it again - your zones should be available to work with.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I installed Zone Table Rate.... then set the zones using Zone Definitions (East Malaysia, West Malaysia, International). Then went to Modules > Shipping > Zone Table Rate to setup the shipping charges ... the 3 zones are shown on the right column where I can enter shipping rates, handling fee etc.

Then I added another zone called International 2 with Zone Definitions.... but when I go to Modules > Shipping > Zone Table Rate again, still only the first 3 zones are shown.

I have to unnstall and reinstall Zone Table Rate?

Ok, I've got it. So, for the benefit of all new users, I'll explain it here.

If you add a new zone, you have to Remove the Zone Table Rate then Install again. Else, the new zone will not appear in "Modules > Shipping > Zones Table Rate" ..... or it will only appear as input boxes without labels.

After reinstallation you'll need to enter shipping rates all over again, remember to copy all the rates to somewhere else first (notepad etc).

That is correct - when you reinstall - the 4 zones will be there.
BTW - uninstall is just the button in admin (not the entire moodule!)

Also- if you set up zone definitions Extra 1, Extra 2, Extra 3 you can avoid having to uninstall/reinstall if you find out later that you need to add a new zone!

Yup, that's a good method

OK, so I am working with this module, and I have setup 3 Zone Definitions (3 different zones for different areas of the US - East/Middle/West) - The tax rates are setup, and I am going by weight (using pounds). The name of my Zone Definitions are 1, 2, 3 (I know... very creative). When I am configuring the Zone Rates, under "Zone 1 Countries" I type in 1, because I named the Zone definition that. I do that with "Zone 2 Countries" and "Zone 3 Countries" respectively with 2 and 3. Now, I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do this, as when I go checkout on my site, it says "No shipping available to the selected country". Hopefully someone can help me out with this problem. Thanks.

Are you getting that message for all shipping options or just USPS?
If just USPS - make sure your account with USPS is set ot production, not test!

PS a link to your site would really help

In my shipping modules section of the control panel, all I have enabled is "Store Pick Up" and "Zone Rates." Do I need to have the USPS module enabled?
