Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

I am trying to set up different shipping fee for my website, my customers are mainly in Canada, so I will need shipping for Canada only, every province is different.

I found a mod called Canada Post Shipping Module, it seems to be perfect for Canada Post, however, it requires me to provide some customer id acquired from Canada Post, I don't have that id and have no plan to sign any contract with Canada Post.

All I need is to set up different shipping fee for different provinces, maybe I don't need extra mod and just need to use the "table rate"? Can anyone shed me more light on how to set this up?

Thank you very much.

Re: Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

Could you give some examples of how you want your shipping to work? :unsure:

Thank you so much for responding my question.

The shipping should be set up as the following:
Size 12.25"x9.25"x15.25", Weight: 1.537kg
ON: $8.00
NS: $20.00
AB: $20.00
PQ: $11.00
....

Thanks. I am not sure if I do need the special mod Canada Post Shipping Module. I did install the mod, it is asking customer id which I don't have and won't have.

Re: Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

You could do a search on the Free Software Add Ons for:
Zone Table

and you should get:
http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=contrib_search_result&search_in_description=1&keyword=zone+table

There are 2 that might work for you:
Zones Flat Rate (for Multiple Zones)
Zones Table Rate (for Multiple Zones)

This let's you make Zone Definitions and setup the DETAILS for the specific Zones of a Country ...

Once made, you can then install the shipping module and set the amount you want to charge, either by Table Rates or by Flat Rate for the specific Zone Definitions that you have made ...

NOTE: if you add Zone Definitions after installing the module, save the settings to NotePad and do a REMOVE ... INSTALL ... and re-configure ...

The account number from Canada Post is free. There is no contract. The account number is required to link zen cart web site to Canada Post.

Thank you so much for the instruction!:hug::hug:

I already have all the zones defined, and then I installed the Zone Table Rate mod and configured all the zones, as you can see in the second screenshot, however, when I go to my store and check the shipping estimate or checkout, I see only two shipping options which you can see in screenshot 1.

And why in the Admin page the zonetable shipping shows orange? seems not active?

Thank you again for your help.

Re: Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

No clue what you are seeing ... you reference screen shot 1 ... no clue where that is ...

NOTE: Zone Tables will only show 1 shipping module at a time based on the Zone Definition and what you have setup in the DETAILS for that Zone Definition ...

NOTE: The yellow icon also means that you have a filter or Zone set on a shipping module ...

I have uploaded two screenshots here:
First one shows there are only two shipping options available in my store:

  1. Store Pick up
  2. Flat Rate

Second one shows I have the following shipping module configured with the order:
Zone Table Rate: order 1
Free Shipping: order 2
Store Pickup: order 3
Flat Rate: order 10

Why in store only 2 options show up? Thanks.

Re: Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

If your Zone Table is not showing, be sure to check your Zone Definitions and look at the DETAILS to see what they are set to and that they are defined with the Country and Zones that you want for each one ...

Thank you.

In the Zone Definitions, I already set one of the Zone its definitions, the estimated shipping cost still shows only 2 shipping method.

Please review the attached screenshots.

Thank you again for your help.

Re: Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

Definitely driving me nut here:

Like you suggest, I have to click the update button to see the Zone Table option; even I did that, when I check out, the option is still not showing up.

Please see the two screenshots.

Thanks.

Could this be a bug of the mod?

Thanks.

Re: Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

If it worked in the Shipping Estimator with the address but not in the checkout_shipping ... go edit your address and make sure it is set up for that zone ...

Thank you Ajeh, now it appears, but problem still persists: although I already set the shipping cost in Admin, the checkout shows 0.00 cost for shipping!:no::no::no: Please see my screenshots.

Thank you so much for helping me on this.

Re: Zone table rates mod still not working as expected.

In the Zone table settings, I tried both shipping by "item" or shipping by "weight", for the test product: Hewlett Packard - by attributes SALE with Special
Color - White
Memory - None
Price: $374.25
Shipping Weight: 45kgs

no matter in shipping by item or shipping by weight, zencart just gives me a 0.00 shipping cost.
