Hide parcel rates if letter sized to: Yes

Looks like this was the culprit...
No, not your setting, but the servers reaction to it... A bit of faulty logic on my part. Should be OK now. It'd be good if you could confirm.

I changed Hide parcel rates if letter sized to No
and it seems to be working now

Thanks.

The next thing I was going to do was leave debug on but hide it with display:none or <!-- -->
But its fixed now thanks.

I did a quick search for this error but did not find anything, apologies if it has allready been posted.

I have just installed the latest version, and now when I get a quote that includes express post, it doesnt add the 4 days postage delay that I currently have set.

Please let me know if I have something set wrong as it looks setup right to me.

Thanks in Advance.

I have just installed the latest version,

Along with this statement needs to be the actual version number, because a new version may have been released between the time you downloaded it and the time of posting your error report .... Not to mention that some people are still installing V1.0.2 from *somewhere* and assuming that is the latest version.

and now when I get a quote that includes express post, it doesnt add the 4 days postage delay that I currently have set.
.

V2.1.1 (the current zencart release) uses the more accurate DATE format by default. Versions prior to this used the number of days.

Please see the following info page for more details:
http://shop.vcsweb.com/index.php?mai...id=7&chapter=1

The postage delay method can only work with the DAYS format (it is a simple addition of the days delay and the days expected delivery)

At the moment to select the alternate method it needs a small modification to one of the ozpost files (see detail on page listed above).

I'm still wotking on a couple of server issues at the moment, but I'll be releasing a new update ASAP that will make the new settings and options a bit more user friendly.

You didn't need to do that... Like I said, it was a logic error on the server, which I had already fixed and was awaiting your confirmation. If you've also changed the setting at your end we'll never know if my fix worked ot not. Oh well, If still broke I'm sure someone else will report it, eventually.

p.s.
Sorry didnt read your reply properly at first.
I turned Hide parcel rates if letter sized ? back to Yes
and the fastway was still working, so what ever you did worked :-)

Although I have put it back to No again, just to be safe; ...but its good you probably fixed this problem for other people.

I've just read the following from Australia Post

Aviation Security - Parcel restrictions to the United States

Please provide a link. At time of writing I can find nothing about this on the AustPost website(s)

Will the module automatically calculate this $9 surcharge and if not, is there a way to include this charge?

If true, ozpost.net will be adapted so that it provides accurate quotes.

I eventually found the relevent (official) information, and ozpost.net now includes this surcharge where relevent. (ie: Destination US, weight > 453gm)

The information I found specified this surcharge applies to Articles over 453g

Tech Note:
One would have to assume that this would include large letters, which may be up to 500gms, but as this means only a 47gm 'window' where it would apply, it may be reasonable to assume that such letters will not be subject to this surcharge, therefore, being a reasonable person, when quoting, ozpost will not apply the surcharge to any of the letter rates, it only applies it to the parcel rates.

Objections, comments or other feedback welcome.

And hopefully someone will advice me when this ridiculous money grabbing surcharge is dropped.

I found out about it today too. I am so upset. $9.00 per parcel. Someone is making a lot of money.

Cheers,

Peter.

Hi Rod,

Have you find solution to why it showing broken images instead of text??

source file show something like this

<td align="right" class="ot-shipping-Text">  (<table border=0><tr><td nowrap><img src="includes/templates/template_default/images/icons/ozpost_fastway_logo.jpg" alt="FastWay Couriers" title=" FastWay Couriers " width="14" height="16" /> <img src="includes/templates/template_default/images/icons/oz</td>

and when I look in includes/modules/shipping/ozpost.php
line 585

$carrier = "<table border=0><tr><td nowrap>".$carrier ;

line 595

$methods[] = array('id' => "$quote->id",  'title' => "$carrier $description $estimateddays $details", 'cost' => ($cost / $aus_rate),'txtCarrier' => $txtCarrier,'txtMethod' => "$quote->description");

so seem like instead of just insert only text into the database "shipping_method" field under "order" table, it trying to insert html coding as well.

I can't find where is the actually coding that doing the inserting of the shipping_method into the database though.

I tried turning image to non in ozpost admin... and hopefully this will fix the problem for now but this also make the checkout and estimate page to show as text, and it not really good looking and more difficult for customer to read.

regards,

Kieran
