Setting up shipping for Int'l

It is no longer showing shipping rates. I wonder if this is because I'm in the process of them switching me over to production server? Could that be it? Could this be why it's not allowing to move to step 2 in checkout now?

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

You keep changing things ...

1 Logout of your site

2 make sure your site is using, in the comfigure.php file:

define('HTTP_SERVER', 'http://www.billysherwoodhq.com');
define('HTTPS_SERVER', 'https://www.billysherwoodhq.com');

// Use secure webserver for checkout procedure?
define('ENABLE_SSL', 'true');

NOTE: around the 'true' I changed the quotes being used ...

3 Delete the file on the server:
/includes/configure.php

4 upload to the server the configure.php file with these setting that I posted

Then, stop and let's look at your site ...

Maybe, test by installing the Item Rate items shipping module and set your USPS shipping module to false on Enabled so you can test if you can then get to checkout_shipping without USPS on ... normally, the issue would be a 30-60 or even 90 secod delay on issues ...

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

When I try to checkout on your site, on the checkout_shipping I see:

United States Postal Service $16.28

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

Amended config file. How did the quotations change like that? Confused, but amended.
Still working on getting the credit card payment option.

The shipping quote on yours seems ridiculously high. My test showed a more a proper shipping price.

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

What quotes are you seeing and what quotes are you expecting to see?

Knowing Ship Form, Ship To and Weight would help ...

Also peek in Configuration ... Shipping Packaging ... at the two Tare Rates ... if you do not want to add more weight set them to 0:0 ...

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

Aha! Success! Take that, Mercury Retrograde! lol
I disabled all payment modules and enabled again. Not sure if that was the key but seems to be working now.
Still have to test int'l address for shipping quotes.
Thank you!!!!!

My shipping was $6.78 which was standard price of shipping for the weight of the amount of items I had carted (priority because of the weight max of first class).

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

Working on getting first class shipping option to work. It's only acknowledging priority although "first class parcel" is selected as an option.

(I just realized I'm now posting re: the USPS mod....different forum topic?)

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

USPS uses the Tare Rate and adds weight ...

What is the weight of the Product?

What is the Ship From?

What is the Ship to?

If you edit the USPS module in your Admin and turn on Debug to Logs you can try a quote then look in /logs for the Shipping logs and Zip them then Attach them to your post via the Go Advanced button when replying and using the Paper Clip to Attach to your post ...

Yes, it's the weight. USPS added quite a bit of weight. Have to change that.

The debug log shows
Cart Weight: 0.6
Total Quote Weight: 3.6 Pounds: 3 Ounces: 10

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

Please look in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging .. and set both Tare Rates to 0:0 ...

Then, it won't add those extra 3lbs ... :smile:

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

Experiencing a problem, I have 2 zones configured one for the 48 States the other for International, but I don't seem to get this right ...
I am not sure if I can configure several options depending on weight but also on number of items, for instance my shipping cost is a minimum of $5.95 for a single item and $1 per additional item, then after 10 items is less ...
That's domestic, because International is Duty Free Worldwide Standard Shipping (3 - 10 Business Days) - $13.95 for 1 item to Canada, and teh rest of the World

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

What shipping module(s) do you want to use for 48 States plus DC?

What shipping module(s) do you want to use for everyone else??

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

None US is a flat rate cost, so I just need to use flat rates based on the criteria I described before, International rates depend on the country, and also on the weight.

Re: Setting up shipping for Int'l

If you have Shipping ot_shipping set to:

This module is installed
true

Sort Order
200

Allow Free Shipping
true

Free Shipping For Orders Over
$75.00

Provide Free Shipping For Orders Made
both

Are these the settings you are using?

This Free shipping should not affect your payment modules ...

Do you have Zones on your Payment modules?
