[Old] Royal Mail Modules

[philip_clarke]

You'll find in the define files lines like this:

define('MODULE_SHIPPING_RMAM_EXPIRES', 1238976000);

which is the expiry time in unix time, you can change the number to a date in the future. (but it will be overwritten any time you upgrade and the SQL patch gets around this).

Hi Philip,

can you please let me know how to enable international shipping as i have done a test sale but for any country outside the UK i get a msg stating "Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we cannot calculate your shipping at this time.
Please contact us so that we can arrange a quote tailored especially for you." how do i rectify this problem?

Thx

Which airmail modules have you installed and have you made sure that the weight and the price of the shopping cart is underneath the values set int admin.

Thank you.

I ended up manually changing my prices.

In case you wanna do it too - really simple price list, provided by the Royal Mail

This module is amazing! Well done for making it. It is exactly what I need!
I am however experiencing a problem and I can't seem to find the answer in this thread;

I have enabled the 'Royal Mail Standard Parcels' module ver. 2.3.4 I did a test buy for an item that was £2 and weight of 0.5kg, I made sure that in admin modules>shipping the minimum order weight for this shipping module was set to 1.501 and that hide invalid shipping was set to 'true' because I don't want this postage option to be displayed to customers if their order is under 1.501kg.

And this test order is only 0.5, however I still get displayed 'Royal Mail Standard Parcels
Royal Mail Standard Parcels is only available for orders over 1.50 kgs'

I have done the same thing with the 'Royal Mail Standard Parcels (to £100 insurance)' module and this works fine, it doesn't display to customers as an option or as the standard parcel one above does.

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

Sushigal

Yes go to admin > configuration > shipping and packaging and check the Tare values, that 3 Kg is not being added by zen cart to the shipping weight (it's a default value so happens a lot). Also I'd like to see this (if possible), as there appears to be a difference between 2 modules that should be virtually identical in response.

Thank you
Philip.

Hi, thanks for getting back to me, here's the link to my site if that's what you need to see my problem?

I went to config>shipping/packaging and the only thing that was set to 3 was 'Display no of boxes and Weight status' I changed that to 0 and its not fixed the problem.

Both tare weight fields,

'Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight'
and

'Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight'

were both set to 0:0 anyway. If that's what you were referring to?

Many thanks,

Sushigal

Sorry, I think this is actually what you needed, a link to the checkout of the test purchase where this problem with two identical modules is occurring; http://www.thegreatgiftshop.co.uk/ze...ckout_shipping

Sorry for the delay other comittments got in the way. I can't see what you mean as I assume you've currenlty disabled it, but I think I understand having re-read the above a couple of times. What you are saying is that when "hide invalid shipping" is set, and the shopping cart is under the minimum weight for the standard parcels modules, then std parcels is still showing an error message which you would like removed ?

This should be straigtforwards enough, I'll look at the minimum weight code tomorrow morning, but I suspect that I just never turned on Hide invalid shipping for that section.

Thank you
Philip.
