Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

The problem is the definition for the Zone Rate:

Shipping Zone 2 : Karnataka
Zone 2 Shipping Table : 0.250:30,1:40
Zone 2 Handling Fee : 0

Your definition goes to 1 lb and the quote is for 5.26lbs ... without a definition you get $0.00 ...

Try changing the Rate to:
0.250:30,1000:40

Does this now work better?

Also check what the settings are in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... on the Maximum Weight and the Tare Rates ... You said the Product was 0.5lbs and you are showing 5.26lbs on this product ...

I think it is working :bow:

I blindly did what you said. ie :

1. Checked the Tare rates. I didn't understand what it should be (at least at this point of time). So made it 0:0
2. made the rate to 0.250:30,1000:40

But to be very frank I didn't understand. 250 gms is working so why not 1.0 kg ? I mean shouldn't both the weights be of same calibre? as per the current setting its 250 gms and 1000 kg.
Also is there a way to change the unit from lbs to Kg ?

You are being really helpful. Thanks !

Not really without doing other code changes as by default, Zen Cart works with lbs ...

Thanks.
Any input on the .250 Vs 1000 ?

What is a products_id for .250 grams?

What is a products_id for 1.0 kg?

Apologies for not being able to reply. Had some family issues. Could not work at all.
Did not get your question.
Did you mean some products that are of weight .250 and some that are 1.0 ?
All books are of weight 0.250; example product id - 981
So if somebody is buying four books, the weight should be 1kg. Not sure if this is what you asked.

So if somebody is buying four books, the weight should be 1kg. It is showing 1kg and the shipping cost is also correct. Just not sure how this is happening when I am mentioning 1000 and not 1.0

From what I can see, your shipping is now working ...

Are there any products that are not calculating the shipping right?

For the lbs to kg, go to your Zen Cart Admin and in the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... in the bottom input box do a search on:
lb

and select Catalog and click SEARCH ...

This should show you where the defines are for the lb and lbs ... use your template and override directories to customize them ...

:jump:

Yes it is working ! Just not sure how.
Thanks for the pointer to the developer's tool kit. I am able to look up that too.
I must must admire your patience.
Thanks again

Thanks for the update that all is working fine now ... :smile:

Hi,
Me again ! :jump:
Just wanted to update that I managed to change the weight from Lbs to Kg.
And I finally got the right zone table weight rate. Its :

Zone 1 Shipping Table
0.250:20,1:30,2:60,3:90,4:120,1000:999

Zone 1 Shipping Table
0.250:20,1:30,2:60,3:90,4:120,1000:999

Zone 3 Shipping Table
0.250:40,1.0:50,2.0:100,3.0:120,4:160,1000:999

Zone 4 Shipping Table
0.250:45,1.0:85,2.0:150,3.0:250,4:310,1000:999

This is working just perfect . Thanks !:jump:

Thanks for the update that everything is now working for you ... :smile:

Hi Gang!

Please let me know if this table rates applies in the case where I would like to offer three separate shipping options (via DHL, FedEx and UPS).
Or should I rather use Zone Rates?

thanks

Thanks!

Hi All, I have a question for you. Bear in in I am very new to Zen Cart so there may be holes in my question, so here goes…
I wondered if it is possible to some how bring in all the post codes in Canada into the admin area (I'm not sure how to do that), then use zone definitions to group selections of post codes together into shipping groups, then use Multiple Zones to apply a pricing structure to the various different shipping groups, and have all that recognised in the cart. I am only shipping to Canadian customers so those are the only post codes I need recognisable in Zen. Thanks heaps.

All I can say is great add on .. Works just how I want it ,was struggling with the built in ones
thanks

Hi Ajeh
Instead of "Zones Table Rate", the link points to "Table Rate Clone".

Ajeh:

This was updated in July, 2012 ...

Are you sure you are looking at:
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=720

A search of the plugin results in this one:

See if that works better for you ...

Thanks Ajeh

Hello,
I have been messing around with cloning this shipping module and finally got it working. I have a slight issue with one part of it though. I cloned the module to offer International customers a first class shipping option for orders up to $50.00. Everything works great except when the order is over $50.00, I need the shipping option not to be displayed and only display the USPS Priority mail option.

I did find one of AJEH's posts about disabling modules over a certain weight but I haven't got weights added to our store yet because we are dealing with approximately 15,000 parts at the moment.

Here is the code snippet that I found in Ajeh's Post #266:

if (zen_get_shipping_enabled($this->code)) {
  $this->enabled = ((MODULE_SHIPPING_ZONETABLE_STATUS == 'True') ? true : false);
}

// bof: disable for weight >= 150
if (!IS_ADMIN_FLAG && $_SESSION['cart']->show_weight() >= 150) {
$this->enabled = false;
}
// eof: disable for weight >= 150
if ($this->enabled == true) {

Can you make any suggestions on how to modify the above code to work with cost rather than weight? I need it to be disabled for any order over $50.00.

Thanks in advance for any help you can offer.

$_SESSION['cart']->show_total() deals with the total in the shopping cart ...
