Does anyone here use Ty Package Tracker with OzPost?

Or does OzPost do what Ty Package Tracker does?

Not me.

Or does OzPost do what Ty Package Tracker does?

The modules serve different purposes, The package Tracker is designed for tracking packages (obviously), where as the ozpost module is designed to provide shipping/postage quotes.

I've never installed the Ty Package Tracker so I can't say if it will work with ozpost or not, or more specifically, wherher it supposrts the same carriers that ozpost does.

Hi Rod

Yes Ty Package Tracker comes with direct links to USA carriers for the download and display of tracking information via account, although I have yet to realise the extent of that information.

And these links would need to be changed for Australian carriers eg AusPost, Fastaway.

However whether the Australian carriers provide useful tracking info has yet to be seen by me from previous experience.

If OzPost provides links to the tracking facilities of certain services of the Australian carriers, that could automatically be included in an order confirmation email, this would be sufficient for my current needs without having to bother with Ty Package Tracker.

Won't happen, unless ozpost.net expands to make bookings as well, because unless/until a booking is made there won't be any reference data to include in the emails... and I really can't see ozpost.net ever evolving into a booking service as well as a quotation service, primarily because Australia Post don't provide a standard booking/tracking service (Eparcel is not the same), and secondly, because most of the courier companies are very difficult to work with in regards to product integration.

Hi Rod

Thanks for the extra clarity.

As a bit of background to my initial query, provision for Ty Package Tracker is being incorporated into the new EditOrders 3.0 and SuperOrders 3.0 mods about to be released. However, these mods do not require the installation of Ty Package Tracker.

I cannot get the TNT part to work.

We have an account number and password but I keep getting the error message "The account number supplied is invalid or not assigned to this login."

You need to contact the tnt helpdesk and ask that the RTT ('Rated Transit Times' service for your account be enabled.
You DON'T need to change/alter your current username/password (these produce a different error message), you'll find it'll just start working as soon as it is activated.
