Canada Post module

By enabling Regular parcel, you got Xpresspost to show up???

Expedited shows fine for me, and is faster than Regular, so I really don't want to even have Regular as an option.

If you have a similar problem, I wonder where the error lies? The module or Canada Post? (If I had to guess, I would say CP. They just redesigned their website and since it is now completely unintuitive, I CAN'T FIND ANYTHING!! :censored::censored:)

Hello laurahowes,

I used Regular Parcel so that Xpresspost would show. But I ship by Expedited when customer choose Regular Parcel.

Yes! When choose Xprespost, Priority Courier and Regular Parcel on Sellonline. Xpresspost show.

I figured it out: it was only suppressing Xpresspost when I used my own postal code to test shipping output. Weird.

Hello laurahowes,

Are you sure? I just went to your website and add an item. Xpresspost did not show up. Priority Courier, Expedited and Store Pickup (Walkin) showed only.

Thats funny. I've tried a postal code from Ontario, BC and Alberta and all show me Xpresspost options.

Maybe the item you chose doesn't meet the dimensional restrictions? Which item was it? And what postal code did you try?

Thanks for your help!

Hello laurahowes,

It was the iPlay Grass Hula Skirt and Top. I also tried Skidders Toddler Footwear - Camouflage Blue. Xpresspost did not show up.

Hello

When I try Alberta, BC Postal Code: T8H 2K6 Xpresspost shows up. When I try Toronto, ON Postal Code M3N 2P2. Xpresspost does not show. :dontgetit

That is so bizarre. That postal code doesn't work for me, either.
I guess if it is only the odd postal code that excludes Xpresspost, that doesn't hurt me too bad, but WHY??

Hi
I have the mod installed now however it is not calculating the costs correctly.

My first question is does it use the server / login to pull info from? If so that is the problem as we are waiting for the login etc.

Also noticed many options you talk about are not in the mod? why do I not see it?

I added a weight to an item to test. .200 and have letter mail enabled however it is 8.90???? should be like 3$??

any help? or advice to what i am doing wrong.

Hey
Ok I played with the setting s bit and seem to get the numbers close in regards to shipping fees. I do have a few questions that I need clarified if possible.

What is the diff between expedite vs regular vs priority?
Why does xpress post not show for me despite being checked on in the CP site?

In regards to calculating costs.. where does the mod draw the amounts from? is from the CP server or from the numbers I input into the options?? how do I know what numbers to put in. at the momment I have it at default.

As for packaging for us our envelops we sell are 14.5" x 9.5" and will fit through regular mail. (depending on the number of dog outfits in it).

What should the settings be? typically 1 item for us is 250 grams.

can anyone clarify? is there a way to verify that it is calculating correctly?

thanks v much
Jim

Great tip. Fixed my problem.

Is there a way to set kg/cm as the DEFAULT selection in my Add Product listing - in the Canada Post portion of the add-new-listing.

I can manually select kg/cm as I do each product listing, but the form presents with lb/in pre-selected , so its two more clicks. Not life threatening to be sure...just a little tweak I'd like to do to save the two clicks and two opportunities for me to make a mistake ;o)

I do have my units set to kg/cm in the zc files.

In the collect_info.php files for that addon you'll see these lines near the top:```
//added Canada Post start
'products_weight_type' => '',
'products_dim_type' => '',

change that to:```
                       //added Canada Post start
			           'products_weight_type' => SYSTEM_WEIGHT_UNITS,
			           'products_dim_type' => SYSTEM_DIMENSION_UNITS,

Hi i've been using Zen Cart for a while now, installed a few mods, etc. I'm up to date on the ZC version 1.3.9 but i've just installed the Canada Post module and for some reason i'm getting "Error 110: Cannot connect to server" from sellonline. I thought it was a firewall issue but i've never encountered this issue with any other program i've run.

Could there be another issue going on?

Thank you,

Louise

Hello dashmoo,

Please make sure that your host open port 30000 bi-directionally (inbound and outbound traffic).

Hello dashmoo,

The website in my signature is Version 1.3.9c and using Canada Post Module.

I have the latest version of the cart (installed last week)
I have the latest version of the CP add on, installed this week.

I have 2 websites, https://www.australiancaching.com/store, old version of CP works fine.

My other store, https://www.nacaching.com/store is on the same server, like a subdomain, I don't even get rate quotes for CP, so I know it is not a problem with the port, as the other is working.

My CPC_ etc is set for the other store, and when I phoned CP, they confirmed that regardless of the store, it will work (my settings in CPC are linked to the Australian caching site, they say it makes no difference, either will work)

All settings in new store seem fine, just nothing showing up.

I would have just set up a new customer number with CP, but get the error "phone number in ust with another account" and wouldn't let me go further (I am not getting a new phone to add an account to CP)

Any guess as to why it won't work?

Guy
