Hi Dan here you go I downloaded this from Dreamscape a week or two back - hope its the one you are looking for.

PM me if you have any problems :)

It is in my sig.

Hi,

I'm currently lost in trying get Dreamscape's MZMT & Zen Cart's Zone Rates Shipping Modules working properly.
No matter what I've done, the output (when customers check out) of MZMT look like this:

Ground (0 x 0.00g) $0.31
Second Day (0 x 0.00g) $0.31
Next Day (0 x 0.00g) $0.31
($0.31 is the handling fee i've set up in admin, so the module found no product and its weight in shopping cart)

(I've configured the products_weight and the figures in shipping table properly, or it's what I thought, at least)
Zones rates module seem to have the same problem.

Any ideas to solve this? pls help. My zen cart version is 1.3.0.1
Thanks you in advance

I supposed my previous post didn't appear on support forum.
So, I make a reply to my own post hoping that it would solve the problem and a person with the answer will see my thread.

Thanks.

P.S I've made this post a day before in a forum that seem to be dead and can't figure out how to close it. So, pls don't blame me to be a double-posting rascal. Thanks.

Hi if you would like to PM me I will try and help you sort this problem out - as I have now finally managed to get mine to work as I want.

Here is my altered MultiGeoZone 1.000 for use in the UK. Please be aware that the two sql scripts will probably need to be altered as they are designed for my own installation. Hopefully it will help others out - also please remember that the original MultiGeoZone mod was created by its author and not me - I have just altered it for my own use.

Hi,

Thank you all for helping me with the problem I've got, especially jayson.gurney.
I'm trying your mod and will refer to you soon if I can finally make it work as wanted.

Best regards,

The problem seems to be in my tweaked store, not in MZMT and Zones rates, as it works fine on original 1.3.0.1 zen cart store.

I've got to figure out what causes problem or else have to again work with original zen cart 1.3.0.1 from scratch, and it's labour-intensive.

To solve the problem, I'd be much appreciated if anyone could show me the way these modules and Zen Cart interact since it appears that, in my store, MZMT and Zones rates cannot find the number of the products in cart and show the zero (0) number instead. By the way, other shipping modules (come with zen cart) work fine.

Thanks and best regards.

i am having a similar problem. I installed the Geo module and it filled in the rates, but it doesn't seem to be the right rates, AND it adds 3KG to any order people make!

if you have a solution for this plase pm me. I am willing to pay someone to fix it up for me, it's quite urgent.

AND it adds 3KG to any order people make!

Zen Cart does that. It's in one of the configuration options, though I don't recall exactly which one.

thanks, i found it. it was in Config -> shipping

my only problem now is that the rates seem a bit off. Like 1.5kg from the UK to Canada would be 15 pounds, seems like alot? IS there an sQL file with the REAL rates from Royal Mail?

I used Jayson's file but i am not sure it's up to date or accurate.

Clearly, it's me who cause my own trouble. Changed the value of "Config -> shipping/packaging -> Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship" to zero (0) at the very first time and completely forgot what I've done before.

Now, making several changes to the values in shipping/packaging and everything just can't be better.

Thank you dreamscape for making MZMT a great mod and all other people for your help so far.

Best regards.

Hi i created the rates in accordance with the Royal Mails April 2006 'Pricing made easy' booklet that is available from any Post Office.

If someone would care to check that I have created the correct rates I would appreciate the confirmation.:blush:

Thank you!

Actually I'm not sure this is what I need.

I need to provide different shipping options, ie:

Ground
Overnight
Weekend Delivery

With different pricing...

Ideas?

Thanks in advance.

This mod will take care of this for you no problems :yes:

I thought this module would solve my problems but it's driving me crazy instead.

I don't want to ship to anywhere outside Australia. I'm using a chart of 14 zones with different rates for quantity (bottles of wine, in fact). So I thought that I'd followed the instructions properly but it doesn't work.

When putting in the address details, there is a field for state. Sometimes after I try to go to the next page, an error is returned telling me to select a state from the drop down list - this is actually the zone codes, not state codes. At other times the state is automatically altered to a zone code but it is not necessarily the correct code. Therefore the wrong shipping cost is supplied.

Have I put my zones in too many places or what? Can I add a zone field to the address block which would not override the state field? What am I to do?

I am feeling so frustrated with this - after almost a week I have accomplished very little when it is just so easy to do in previous shopping cart programs I have used.
