Big Royal Mail 3.0

Nick1973:

[Attachment no longer available][Attachment no longer available]Hi I have set up a cart with Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Signed For ™ "Letter" ver. 3.0.0 and Royal Mail Airmail International Signed For® "Small Packet" ver. 3.0.0

When I go through to shipping information in the shopping cart for the UK or Northern Ireland I get the options for these two shipping methods with a price for UK and Northern Ireland when only Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Signed For ™ "Letter" ver. 3.0.0 should be showing.

Also when I go through from a different country I get both options but without a price for either.

Obviously Royal Mail 1st Class Recorded Signed For should only show for UK and Northern Ireland and Royal Mail Airmail International Signed For® "Small Packet" should only show for any other country.

How do I resolve this?

As with the earlier post you need to set hide invalid shipping to true.
Admin>Modules>shipping> select the shipping method the click the edit button the look for **Hide Invalid Shipping
**Hide this shipping service if it is not valid (either due to exceeding the maximum weight or the min & max order values).
and change the radio button to true.

Heads up!

Royal Mail are making big changes to their Packets and Parcels on 2nd April 2013.

Compensation rates are being more than halved for standard mail, from £46 to £20.

Standard Parcels are being abolished, replaced by 2nd class mail and 2nd class recorded up to 20kg.

Parcels will become "small" and "medium" parcels. larger parcels will have to go via Parcelforce.

"small" means less than 2kg AND smaller than 16cm x 16cm x 16cm OR smaller than 45cm x 35cm x 8cm OR a tube smaller than 45cm long x 8cm wide.

"Medium" means less than 20Kg and smaller than 61 x 46 x 46cm

I assume that this means that you want to offer free shipping for all packages. Would it be useful to set to 0:0 if blank. There are Sql scripts to put in the correct rates.

Thanks Brittainmark - not quite I have postage for items under £5, but not concerned about adding additional weight for packaging.

Devus - Don't think Zencart can cope with sizes but assume we will do it by weight. Typically you may know what your items are likely to be, and amend the rates accordingly.

Thanks for the heads up I'll get working on a rate update and see if i need any other bits changing. I'll submit the new update as soon as I have it completed.

I have updated the program now version 3.1.0 for the new rates and the new small and medium parcels. Do not install until you are ready to use the new rates. They come in to effect 2 April 2013

Willing to pay $$$

Donations always welcome. I have uploaded to the site it is waiting moderation.

Just noted Typo in Upgrade script.
item C in upgrade from 3.0.x should read

c)Run UpdateFrom3.0.sql to remove the entries from the configuration file.

1. Login to your zen cart admin
2. Use Tools>Install SQL Patches
3. Copy the contents of UpdateFrom3.0.sql and paste into the text window
   or
   User the Browse button to load UpdateFrom3.0.sql into zen cart.

The weights for 2nd class medium parcel seeem to only go to 2kg as the small parcel settings

Sorry about that thats what happens when you rush things because you cannot get the info out of royal mail.
Apply the SQL patch below to correct the rates```php
/* Second Class Medium Parcel /
UPDATE configuration SET configuration_value = '1:5.2, 2:8, 5:13.35, 10:19.65, 20:27.70' WHERE configuration_key = 'MODULE_SHIPPING_RM2NDMEDPARCEL_ZONES_COST0_1' ;
/ Second Class Medium Parcel Confirmed */
UPDATE configuration SET configuration_value = '1:6.3, 2:9.1, 5:14.45, 10:20.75, 20.28.80' WHERE configuration_key = 'MODULE_SHIPPING_RM2NDMEDPARCELSF_ZONES_COST0_1' ;

is there any where else we can download this from? Really need to get this update done and it's still not in the plugins section and don't want to have to wait for days for someone to approve it which people are paying the wrong amounts for postage in my shop.

Hi

Not sure if I've done something wrong in the setup but when I have an item set to minimum weight (small package) where it should be showing £3 shipping it also shows medium package pricing as well?

Any help would be appreciated.

I've just installed the latest version for the latest postage rates, and everything is working great except for 'Royal Mail Airmail "Small Parcel" ver. 3.1.0'. European rates are fine on this, but Rest Of World doesn't appear to work when I test it. I noticed that there is no box to define countries for ROW like there is for Europe, is this to do with it?

Apologies if I've missed a patch or I'm just being stupid, but any advice would be great, thanks!

Installed this today, still getting used to the new formats but a big thanks for updating it.

I did notice that the Post Office are not calling it "Confirmed", it is still called "Signed For". I think the "confirmed" term is only used on the website to try to make us think its simple and better. (its not really).

So to reduce customer confusion I am going to change it back to "Signed For"

no that is correct as small and medium are size based therefore any parcel less than 2kg will display small and medium parcel.

Fine by me. All their printed literature is also saying confirmed.
