ozpost shipping module

Hi Rod,

I have installed this ozpost V2.0.3 over my existing version of the latest ozpost.

I have noticed that in admin there are couple of (5) empty text boxes under the 'Express Courier International Merchandise ' and just above the Handling Fee - Letters.

There are also empty text boxes under 'Handling Fee - ECI Merchandise
Handling Fee - ECI Merchandise.'

What are they for?? there are no text between or next to them . They are just blank text boxes.

I will need to use OzPost for "rest of world". I might just use Table Rates (for US zone definition only) rather than UPS. And I was thinking that if I leave OzPost as is, it will still come up as an option for US customers but the charge will be so much higher that they won't select it (unless they're really silly, then let them pay!)

Click on the 'uninstall' button and then the 'install' button. This will force the database tables to get updated with the 'missing' information (I hope).

RodG:

this new update introduces support for TNT and FastWay Courier quotes.

I need to point out that for TNT quotes you'll need a valid TNT account. You can sign up at https://www.tntexpress.com.au/interaction/asps/login.asp

If you don't have a TNT account but wish to check out this aspect of the module anyway, for a short period only you can use the following test account:

Account#: 11111111 (that's eight one's)
User: leave blank
Password: leave blank

Important Note:
Quotes obtained using this test account may not be accurate for all users. TNT prices are "individually" customised for each account holder (depending on usage).

Cheers
Rod

Hi Folks,

A problem has been found with the TNT authentication. Please update to V2.0.4 (attached to this posting).

Keep that feedback coming :smile:

Is there something wrong with the servers at the moment?

My site as not been able to complete a purchase due to the OZPOST module unable to calculate shipping. This has been going on now for about 24 hours.

Thanks,

Shane

Hi Shane,

Just checked and it works fine on all of my sites. You can check one of them at http://www.ozsilver.com to see for yourself. It maybe a server problem rather than ozpost

The log files don't suggest that there have been any problems.

If you can provide a URL to your store I'll be able to test and check for your specific site.

Store is here:

The problem is combination of your product data and the methods that you have allowed - At least that is what I found with the first item I randomly picked from your store.

The product Anderson PP15/45 Insertion & Extraction Tool has weight and size dimensions that allow it to be mailed at letter rates, but you have disallowed letter rates as an acceptable shipping method, and at the same time the module has been set to hide the parcel rates if the item** is** letter sized.

None of the above will explain why "has been going on now for about 24 hours" (as per your original post), unless of course you made a change to one (or more) of your settings or product data in the last 24 hours (but you would have mentioned that, wouldn't you?) so for all I know there may still be an undiagnosed problem and I just got lucky (unlucky?) in that the random item I picked for testing is actually a different problem than the one you are reporting?

Cheers
Rod

Thanks Rod,

That explains a few "strange" things that happen. I guess if I knew what I was doing, it would be a lot easier!

Hi Rod,

I have been running your original Ozzy Post module.
Now, I have installed your new ozpost V2.0.4.

It seems that both are still treated as 2 distinct modules.
If I only enabled the Ozpost V2.0.4 then it didn't process any results.
However if both are enabled then I get results.
I suspect that the new V2.0.4 is not actually being used even though it is active.

Do I require both modules to be active ?
Is the new V2.0.4 dependant on the old ozzy post module ?

Cheers
Matt

Hi Rod,

I have been running your original Ozzy Post module.

First things first, what do you consider to be the "original Ozzy Post" ?

A LOT of people confuse the "AustPost" module with the "ozpost" module.
These are two entirely separate/different modules.
The "AustPost" module(s) are now long obsolete and cannot produce accurate quotes. This line of modules has been removed from the zencart downloads for this reason.

matthewrossser:

Now, I have installed your new ozpost V2.0.4.

This version still hasn't been "officially" released. The .zip file found in the forum is 'incomplete' and requires ozpost.v1.0.2 (from the downloads section) to be installed in order to function.

matthewrossser:

This suggests to me that you are mixing/confusing the "AustPost" module with the 'ozpost' module. They ARE 2 distinct modules.

matthewrossser:

Do I require both modules to be active ?

No, but there was a period of about 6-12 months when both the AustPost and the ozpost modules could be active at the same time, each producing their own set of quotes. (Great for testing/debugging, but very confusing for customers).

matthewrossser:

Is the new V2.0.4 dependant on the old ozzy post module ?

The V2.0.4.zip available in the forum is dependant on ozpost.v1.0.2 which is available in the downloads section. The 2 files contained in the V2.0.4.zip are drop-in replacements for the similalrly named files found in v1.0.2

Cheers
Rod

Hi Rod,

thanks for the the very helpfu information.

Yes... it was indeed the old module "austpost"

In the process of installing your version as we speak.

Thanks for all your help

:-)

G'day Folks,

Just a short post to let you know that I've just uploaded the latest ozpost module to the downloads section. ozpost_v2.0.5.zip

It'll probably take a week or so before the devs check and release it, so UNTIL this time, for those that simply can't wait, you can currently download it from here

Feedback and bug reports welcome :-)

Cheers
Rod

Hi Rod,

We used your latest ozpost version on v1.3.9, we got this error:

Unexpected error. No valid method. Using static rates.

The above error only shows up when we used Australian shipping address, but no issue on international address.

Here is my client store (on a testing sub folder, not live store):

http://www.outdoorking.com/teststore

Could you please let us know what is causing this issue?

Table Rate (0.02kgs) (Best Way) $12.50

Could you please let me know what is causing this issue?:dontgetit

Thank you for your testing Rod, perhaps we used invalid address.
We will give a try again. :clap:

Hi Just wondering if someone can help.

There are three files in the /admin/ folder of the ozpost.zip file - Use these to replace the same named files in your store and you'll have the ability to add/edit dimensions again.
