Track Package from FedEx, UPS, Postal, DHL, etc..

[jeking]

This add-on works perfectly for me except 1 thing.

Sometimes I ship more then 1 package.

Like for example yesterday i shipped a package via UPS, and today I shipped another via USPS, but it wont let me add the tracking number. it just says "nothing changed"

I also had orders that may ship in more than one shipment. The simplest way to get around this is to add something in the comments box. I'll usually add '1 of 2' and '2 of 2' into the comment box for each shipment.

If nothing is typed in the comments then nothing happens. This is a good way to prevent accidental blank emails from going out. Since the tracking numbers are in different fields from the comments field the system isn't going to detect and save the addition of tracking numbers until something is added to the comments field.

I always type the service in the comments.... something like "Parcel Post", UPS Ground Service", etc.

I found it advantageous to use a macro program to enter standard phrases for me. So I type #g for "UPS GROUND SERVICE". #p for "USPS PRIORITY MAIL", or #4 for "USPS PARCEL POST" (since #p can't be used for both, I use 4 to represent to old 4th class mail designation for Parcel Post.)

simple reason: tracking number today pasted from clipboard and this method is very sloooow (if must fill additional fields) with many entries :-/

more better for me is fix core file (if i found this function in some core file), so, if you have any ideas, how to find, , then i very happy

----

for automation, i need in next future make import dialog for load from simple csv file (bulk load)

i must say this: this file make other guy and not any way get automatically via sql or parse from http service

then i make for this guy this form, and guy (now send by mail to me) submit csv file self (then file must be outside admin) and i not must make anything (after i make trigger mechanism)



update: i thing about Easypopulate, maybe i look into this files, but maybe anybody give better hint...

Ty Lieu's TY UPS WORLDSHIP will automatically supply a link to the UPS Shipment record based on your order (reference) number. The link is automatically added to the comments field when you print your label.

Instead of looking up the tracking number, it looks up the shipment's reference number (your order number) and your account number to find the shipment record to display. The link is also displayed in your email to the customer.

I'm not aware of any add-on that will do this for USPS or other carriers. I use the cut-and-paste method for USPS.

This will be fix in the next version.
Right now you either have to:
Add comments or change the status.

I usually add a comment for multiple tracking id. Use something similar to:
Box 2 of 3.

Box 1 of 4. Contents: Gold rings.

If you get lazy. Just use a "period" as the comment.

PROBLEM:

I have had this installed for a few days.
Just noticed that the orders screen doesn't properly show my taxes! Had a few hour of panic wondering how my tax setting could have been messed up after months of working perfectly, when I compared the hard copy invoices I have on hand (pre-Ty Package Tracker) and the invoices as displayed by the Ty Package Tracker.

An example:

Proper output:

Subtotal: $47.30
Shipping: $15.02
5% GST: $2.38
5% GST on shipping: $0.75
Total: $65.45

Same order, as displayed by Ty Package Tracker:

Sub-Total: $47.30
Canada Post (1 box(es) to be shipped) (Expedited, 2009-06-01): $15.02
5% GST : $2.37
5% GST on shipping: $2.37
Total: $67.05

It rounds differently, that's number one.
Then it seems to use the first tax amount for the 2nd tax line, which is number two, and the biggie.

Is there a fix for this? If not, I'll need to uninstall and fast.

Thanks!!

The mod doesn't make changes to tax.
Are you sure you didn't make changes to the file?

[laurahowes]

I'm not suggesting it changes the tax.
I'm suggesting it does not display it correctly.

I forgot you could use this mod without having to use your tracker page, so maybe I won't have to uninstall.
