Zones Table Rate Shipping Module

Hi there,

Great module, but having trouble working out it to get this to work right.

I have installed uk zones has i need to have different prices for some partsa of the uk, this is what i have done -

Zone Definitions- Set up North West and then in click into details and added zones i wanted to have the same shipping price in that part of the uk.

Added a Tax Rate for north West @ 17.5% VAT.

Is Zones Table Rate Shipping Module 1.10 compatible with ZenCart v1.38a?

I have many sites running on zen cart v1.38a with the module. None have any problem.

hi,
could somebody please guide me how to do the following using this module if possible

egoli.buster:

I need to have different custom designed shipping methods for different zones.

Example I do Airmail, Standard Mail and Courier shipping from South Africa to the rest of the world.
Depending on certain groups of countries these options cost different rates that can be described in tables.
Would I be able to do that with this module?

Georg

Has this been replied? I am offering Regular, Airmail, Registered, and Surface for zones, can this be done?

thanks a bunch in advance

Please help! I've configured 4 zones and everything seems to be working OK except for one problem. I'm using Price mode and I'm trying to use the following rates for Zone 1: 100:10,100000:10%.

My understanding is that this should charge $10 for anything up to $100 and then 10% for anything over $100. This will give me a minimum shipping charge of $10. Unfortunately, the cart only charges 10% for all orders, even those under $100. I've tried a whole lot of different combinations (including using only flat dollar amounts instead of a percentage), and it always charges the LAST number in the list. This is true for all of my zones!

Anyone have any ideas on what I'm doing wrong?

I just installed this mod for a client - and the install and set up went GREAT!
I added the first 11 Zones and set the taxes.

Then I set up the zone table rates - all good.

Now I need to add more zones and get the error "couldn't find constant.....

My question is if I uninstall and then reinstall, will I lose all the rates I set up already?

Thanks,

Tina

Yes, all the rates will be gone after you uninstall. So backup first before you uninstall. Simply copy and paste the rates to your notepad. Then copy it back after you reinstall.

Thanks for the response - that's what I thought, but wanted to verify!
GREAT module!!!

I have tested by setting up four zones. But the fourth zone is not shown in the "Shipping Modules > Zones Table Rate" area.

I'm quite new to this. Can it support more than 3 zones? Or is 3 zones good enough for all situations?

Thanks.

Have you installed this module?

I have used this module and set up shipping with 35 zones! All are working perfectly!

Suggestion: set up all the zones you need then uninstall the Zone Table Rate and then install it again - your zones should be available to work with.

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes, I installed Zone Table Rate.... then set the zones using Zone Definitions (East Malaysia, West Malaysia, International). Then went to Modules > Shipping > Zone Table Rate to setup the shipping charges ... the 3 zones are shown on the right column where I can enter shipping rates, handling fee etc.

Then I added another zone called International 2 with Zone Definitions.... but when I go to Modules > Shipping > Zone Table Rate again, still only the first 3 zones are shown.

I have to unnstall and reinstall Zone Table Rate?

Ok, I've got it. So, for the benefit of all new users, I'll explain it here.

If you add a new zone, you have to Remove the Zone Table Rate then Install again. Else, the new zone will not appear in "Modules > Shipping > Zones Table Rate" ..... or it will only appear as input boxes without labels.

After reinstallation you'll need to enter shipping rates all over again, remember to copy all the rates to somewhere else first (notepad etc).

That is correct - when you reinstall - the 4 zones will be there.
BTW - uninstall is just the button in admin (not the entire moodule!)

Also- if you set up zone definitions Extra 1, Extra 2, Extra 3 you can avoid having to uninstall/reinstall if you find out later that you need to add a new zone!

Yup, that's a good method :smile:

OK, so I am working with this module, and I have setup 3 Zone Definitions (3 different zones for different areas of the US - East/Middle/West) - The tax rates are setup, and I am going by weight (using pounds). The name of my Zone Definitions are 1, 2, 3 (I know... very creative). When I am configuring the Zone Rates, under "Zone 1 Countries" I type in 1, because I named the Zone definition that. I do that with "Zone 2 Countries" and "Zone 3 Countries" respectively with 2 and 3. Now, I'm not sure if this is the correct way to do this, as when I go checkout on my site, it says "No shipping available to the selected country". Hopefully someone can help me out with this problem. Thanks.

Are you getting that message for all shipping options or just USPS?
If just USPS - make sure your account with USPS is set ot production, not test!

Tina

PS a link to your site would really help

In my shipping modules section of the control panel, all I have enabled is "Store Pick Up" and "Zone Rates." Do I need to have the USPS module enabled?
