ozpost shipping module

[jenpen]

Hey Rod or anyone,
I have deselected all shipping methods except Regular Parcel (within Australia) and Air Parcel (for overseas) but I am still getting about 7 options coming up for the customer. What have I done wrong?
TIA, Jen

Hey, ignore this question. I refreshed about three times and it stopped happening - just the one option as I selected. Jen

Hello People,

Awhile ago I had a problem with the error messages I got when people added too many products to their cart and the package size dimensions were to large or the weight was too much. The price on error was set to 0 by the store owner so I thought it did not work when there was too many things in the cart.

I fixed this by putting the "price on error back to "25.00,99.99" and turning the errors in to comments such as "Item is over 25Kg's: Fate rate" then we just use fastway or another courier to send those items.

The errors are easy to edit (make black and to turn into comments) in
/public_html/includes/modules/shipping/ozpost.php

e.g. my edit attached

I've been getting a number of these errors recently, have there been server issues?
Unexpected error (no valid methods). Using AP Flat Rate.

Thanks

Sadly, yes. The server has had several reboots today, culminating in the replacement of one of the hard drives.

Hopefully all is well again now (although a little sluggish while the RAID array is rebuilding itself).

Cheers

Thanks Rod, Just wanted to check as we had some security work done on our site and wanted to make sure we didn't upset any ozpost apples!

Can't work this one out... have installed OzPost with just one option (regular parcel/air parcel) for within Australia/international. Doing some test orders to try it out. If I order one DVD it comes back with postage of $4.35, but if I change the order to 20 DVDs the postage remains at $4.35. I've got the debugger on and I can see that it's stacking 20 items on top of each other to get the correct dimensions, and the weight is correct, but still just $4.35? What's going wrong?

What do you think the postage should be?

Do you have a URL so I can see for myself what the problem is?

Cheers

Some time back I suggested the flat error rate be replaced by a "weight x rate/kg" or "weight x rate/######" formula. Since I have yet to work out how to do this, I have replaced the "25.00, 99.99" with "0,0" and installed the "RFQ Shipping and Payment Modules" to force a shipping quote.

Hi Rod,
Thanks for looking into this. I don't know what the postage should be, but definitely more than $4.35.
I just went back and tried to purchase 100 DVDs, out of interest, but now there's no shipping method available at all and I can't get the cart to move onto the checkout screen. So, a new problem. I have only OzPost enabled, no other shipping methods. Have you ever seen this happen?
