ozpost shipping module

[RodG]

Hi Rod

Thanks for answering those questions.

Yes, that's what I meant by eparcel. Do you know of any other modules that handle this?

None that I'm aware of.

All I meant re. the price modifications in the admin section was that I have a customer who asks me to override the actual Australia Post prices and I currently do this by modifying austpost.php. I was just wondering if you were going to put this in the admin section -

Hmmm, no. The place to make cost adjustments is with the P&H charges, rather than the actual postage costs, and this can be done via the admin interface.

don't get me wrong I wasn't implying like it was something I thought you had planned for the new ozpost module.

<phew> That's good. I thought for a moment that I may have at some time given you the impression I was heading towards this, or that it was something I had hinted at adding.

The fact is. I believe it would be morally wrong to have the module present an artificially inflated *postage* cost to the customer. It also somewhat defeats the aim of giving accurate quotes.
Charging an 'inflated' P&H fee is a whole different ballgame though, which is why these fees are user defined.

Having said that, if you (or your client) really does want to inflate the postage quotes, you will find this much easier to do with the new code than it was the old code, primarily because the code itself is much simpler and cleaner.

Cheers
