MZMT MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping [Support Thread]

Yes, I had it enabled in the admin.

tekram:

i can only configure so that it seems like it is the same company with three different options. for example one day, second day and express all with dhl. i want to offer one option each from company 1, 2, and 3.

There is absolutely nothing that says each zone can only have one carrier. It is just text and can be whatever you want it to be. Why don't you name the zone title something generic, for example "US Shipping", and then name each table way what you want, for example "DHL Ground", "FedEx 2nd Day", etc.

tekram:

i tried to fiddle with mzmt by giving two different geo zones the same area. for example, set geo zone 1 to us and geo zone 2 to us. however, upon checkout it only shows the table from the first geo zone and not the second one.

Geo zones cannot overlap. Even if I programmed the code to allow it, it would still be impossible for one shipping module to return a set of multiple sets of quotes since the main shipping class is only programmed to accept one set of quotes from each shipping module. You would have to hack the main shipping class. Since shipping modules are supposed to be plug & play, I have no plans or desire to write a shipping module that requires hacking the core to install. ;)

Hello

My customer has provided me with the shipping costs provided by there courier and I am in the process of entering them all in

At the moment I have 3 geo zones

1. Europe under 1kg
2. World zones 1 & 2 under 1kg
3. Rest of World (not configured yet)

Each geo zone has just 1 table using the products weight with shipping address to determine costings.

From Parcelline I have this for Europe under 1kg

0.01g - 99.9g = £5
100g - 239.9g = £6
240g - 439.9g = £7
440 - 639.9g = £8
640 - 839.9g = £9
840g - 999g = £10

The shipping has been entered in like this

Geo Zone 1 Shipping Table 1
.10:5.00,.24:6.00,.44:7.00,.64:8.00,.84:9.00,.99:10.00

For some reason the pricing does not line up correcly and I've had to add a £1 shipping charge in order for them to display.

The problem I have thatI just can't work out is why if I add products to my cart in access of 1kg the shipping options are still available to me with the highest shipping fee being shown.

Imagine someone ordering 10kgs of stuff and only paying £10 the customer would break my balls.

How can I hide the shipping if the order is for more than 1kg ?

Test site here

Most products have weights entered but they are not accurate and just used for testing purposes

When setting up a test account

Sweden = in Europe
China = world zones 1 and 2

Thanks

I should also point out that I simply cannot change the wording of the shipping zones and add in the pricing for weights above 1kg as Countries outside of Europe are charged an extra £25 for Customs Clearance.

Therefore I would need 4 zones

Europe under 1kg
World Zones 1 & 2 under 1kg
European Countris over 1kg
Non European Countris over 1kg

The maximum weight they will ship is 30kg

Did you name your zone definitions like this

Shp: Europe
Shp: USA/Canada
Shp: Somewhere

You have to put the Shp: in front of the place you want to ship to in order for it to show in the mzmt dropdowns when you setup your shipping rates

Good luck

thanks dreamscape. i thin i will do just that.

is ther a way to set the rates as $1/lbs ie 5lbs will cost $5 ang 20 will be 20.

actually, what i really want to do is set the rate for the first 5 lbs and after that have a flat rate per extra lb that adds to the last one.

but when i use the method showed in the instructins it does not do that exactly.

for eample, i want to charge:

1 lbs $2
2 lbs $4
3 lbs $6
every lbs over that $1

so i packag of 10 lbs will be $13.

but if i do this with the following expressions: 4:100% it just takes the waeight and multiplies it by the percent. however, i want to take the percent and add it to the cost of the weight of 3 lbs. so, the above expression gives me for a package of 10 lbs and price of $10.

well yes 100% of 4 is 4 and 100% of 10 is 10.

But even your example doesn't add up. You say one thing (should be the cost of the 3rd plus the 100%), but then give another answer. You say you want 10lbs to be $13 but according to the data given and what you're saying, you should want 10lbs to be $16. So I'm not really sure what you're saying or what you want.

But to answer the basic question, no inner adding is supporting in the current public version. You'll have to some up with a formula that probably involves using the handling so that the end result is exactly what you want.

Is it possible to setup MZMC to cover "all other" (non-specified) places with shipping "TBD" (to be determined)? Or to easily add a huge list of countries to a single zone, and then flag it somehow to note that S/H will be calculated after the sale?

I know that this can be done with the normal "zones" system, by specifying a value of "-1" in the shipping table field - but when I try it with MZMC, it doesn't seem to work...

What I need is a shipping method that will:

(a) cover the rest of the world (mainly non-US)
(b) deliver a note to the buyer that they will be notified with the final cost of shipping, once it has been calculated

Thanks :)
twykr.

thanks for the answer. i dont think i can it to what i want it but i have figured something close to what i want and it suffices.

is there a way to control max shipping weight for each individual zone?

This makes no sense to me but I can't get this to work with Hawaii or Alaska - I've tried adding it to the Lower 48 zone and have also tried creating a Hawaii zone from scratch. Now it won't even work with the provided AK&HI sql from the original files

I'm testing this fine with other us addresses, Europe and Asai without trouble.

Absolutely confused. I'm probably doing something wrong but I can't figure it out.

Any ideas?

Thanks

Is it possible to make it so that if a person orders over a specific total then they cannot choose Standard shipping?

My client wants , lets say for instance someone orders over 200 worth of product, client wants the customer to have to use priority/express shipping ...

TIA!

...and if I don't want to pay for priority shipping?

I dont know :lol:

Im gonna switch client over to per item shipping :lol:

I think that will work better for what they are selling

I have set up 3 zones (the store is located in Maryland) under Locations/taxes -> Zone definitions.

1. Maryland
2. Shp: US
3. Shp: CA - canada

Maryland is a Tax Zone

• Select Maryland, and click on Tax Rates.
• Tax Class Title = Taxable goods
• Zone = Maryland
• Tax rate = 5.0000%
• Description = MD TAX 5.0%
• Priority = 1

Now for MZMT under shipping, I have it setup like so:

• Geo Zone 1 = Shp: US
• Tax Class = taxable goods
• Tax Basis = store (supposedly so anything bought in the same tax zone as the store gets taxed)
• Sort order = 1

• GeoZone 1 = Shp: US
• Table Method = price
• Handling fee = 0
• Then I have my shipping rates tables 1-4

• GeoZone 2 = Shp: Canada
  everything is the same as GeoZone 1, but I add a $10 handling fee.

Now here's the problem...

When test ordering from outside the state of MD everything is fine.
When ordering from within Maryland, where the order info is the Tax is zero. When you go to the right, where shipping is added, it says MD tax 7%. It calculates the tax on shipping only but as far as I can tell it calculates it correctly at 5% of shipping. However, the tax on the merchandise is not added.

Any clues as to what's goin ong here? IT shoudl say MD tax 5% and the tax should be added to the total, but it's not.

Thanks,

Nevermind... I got this sorted out. I accidentally forgot to set some of the items in the catalos' tax class to Taxable Goods. D'oh!

Ami I not doing something right? I'm checking out with a North Carolina address, so the prices in GeoZone 1 should apply......

Hi all,

I am new here and not very familiar with Zencart. I made some threads already, but unfortunately without resolving my problem and I really tried very hard and now for a long time to read me through, but somehow I don't get it.

I am going to open a shop just for the Guatemalan market, that means I won't ship outside the country for now.

The logistic company provided me a list of their zones, which I would like to configure the same way.

The Zones are devided into Local, A, B, C and D. The shipping costs depend on the weight, but at least this I understand how to do once I understand the rest.

Zone A has three cities and each city has other little villages.
Zone B has 14 cities and each city has other litlle villages, etc. in total there are 33 cities with 700 villages.

How and where can I set the shipping?

Is it in Zencart admin/LocationTaxes/ZonesDefinitions? Do I have to write down all 700 villages there? In ZonesDefinitions I can only put the country-city-code, but in my case I need country-city-village-code (the cities would be like provinces/states).

The next problem is when I go to Zencart admin/modules/shipping, which of the shipping modules do I use, is it Zone Rates? If so, there I can only enter three different Zones, but the Zones just show abbr. for countries, not states...

I am even not sure, if I have installed this so called MZMT...

I am very sorry if I explained myself so complicated (and if something is not clear, please ask me), but I really need help on that.

Thanks in advance for any kind of help.

Hi all,
