Canada Post module

janissaire:

Ok - since there doesn't seem to be any answers to my posts in this thread...re 12x12x12

How do I remove Canada Post info from my products in the Catalogue? I have uninstalled it from admin.

Hello janissaire,

Uninstalled the Canada Post Module completely. By also deleting all the files and unistall the mysql_canpost_dimensional_13x.sql.

janissaire:

Module is installed correctly

Hello janissaire,

The quote above might be the reason for not receiving a response.

usr50:

where are you putting the dimensions mentioned above ? are you talking about the CPC module?
I have issues with this as well and am trying to perfect it.
and it concerns lettermail.
the module is calculating costs correctly based on our price check with shipping to same destination on Ebay using CPC. however I can't get lettermail to display. and it doesn't display on Ebay either. Funny thing is I have zone rate enabled in the shipping module and the CPC shipping estimator produces a flat rate cost that seems to be correct . the client wants it to say lettermail to give customer a comfort level.
I will keep posting my findings ....

Hello 1013593,

I just update includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php in Canada Post Module 1.3.9h. I only update 1 file. Waiting for it to be approve. This will make the lettermail show. You can try the file in attachment. Are use the instruction in post 125 - http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=94151&page=13

Royal,
thanks for this update.
Also Canada Post module was not combining items rather it was multiplying shipping costs x however many items in the cart?
Will install later today and repost...

Hello usr50,

Check to see if "Ready to Ship" is check. Item ships in its original box? (ie: will not be combined in another box for shipping, and no additional packaging costs to be added. If it is check that could be the reason.

"Are use the instruction in post 125 - http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...=94151&page=13 " yes.
"ready to ship" is not clicked
still not combining cart items.

Hello usr50,

What are you measurement for you items? How did you setup your boxes on Canada Post site?

Royal,
are you sending me telepathic messages ? ! Just thinking about CPC box sizes and lettermail sizes. since i beleive it is a configuration thing I have wrong with boxes and .
right now for testing purposes I have Barbie dresses as the only product to test with. rest of prduct is from demo database.
lettermail size on CPC server is 38x 27x 2 (cm)
in store 37 x 25 x .030 (cm)
weight of doll dress is .0100 kg

and now what I'm trying to do is add 7 dresses together to get over the max. lettermail weight . I just added a box that will receive the 7 items and go into small packets air to USA or International.
will post back

Royal!!!

Hello janissaire,

You are very welcome!:smile:

I installed the updated "canadapost.php"

I put a fake item in my store to test it, that should fit well within the lettermail limits (my store hasn't "launched" yet, so it's all "test items" right now), but I don't have Lettermail showing up when I click on "estimate shipping". I also didn't have ti showing up before installing the updated php file.
I seem to only get results for regular shipping, not lettermail.

Any idea what i might need to change/fix here - any help or tips would be greatly appreciated?

Edit:
Also - i have enabled lettermail rates in my shipping module - it's set to "true", incase that info helps at all

Hello Carly,

I have change "Lettermail" to "Regular Mail". Is that what you see "Regular Mail". Just look for "Regular Mail" in includes/modules/shipping/canadapost.php and change it to "Lettermail".

        case 'CA':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("[:,]", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN'));
            $lettermail_service = sprintf("[B]Regular Mail[/B]: estimated %d-%d business days", round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 2), round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 4)); //factor in turnaround time
            break;
          }

Change to:

        case 'CA':
          {
            $table_cost = preg_split("[:,]", constant('MODULE_SHIPPING_CANADAPOST_LETTERMAIL_CAN'));
            $lettermail_service = sprintf("[B]Domestic Lettermail[/B]: estimated %d-%d business days", round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 2), round($this->turnaround_time / 24 + 4)); //factor in turnaround time
            break;
          }

Ah, OK - I NEVER would have thought of that, thanks Royal!
I DO see "Regular", it's coming in at the same price as Expedited right now though. I'll change that in the pho file & see if it fixes it - I'll let you know in a moment!

Hello Carla,

If you just see "Regular" that is for "Regular Parcel".

Example of what you should see:

Canada Post (Priority Courier, 2011-04-12)

Canada Post (Xpresspost, 2011-04-12)

Canada Post (Expedited, 2011-04-12)

Canada Post (Regular, 2011-04-13)

Canada Post (Lettermail: estimated 4-6 business days)

Did you setup your "Lettermail" correctly on Canada Post side? Do you have a link for your website.

            break;
          }

OK, I tracked down that part & changed it to "Domestic Lettermail", like in the code you attached, and it's still doing the same thing - in the "estimate shipping" pop-up box, it still shows up as "regular" and still with the exact same price as expedited.

I also tried changing it to just "lettermail" instead of "Domestic Lettermail", and had the same results.

Hello Carley,

Check post 154.

Store Pickup (Walk In)

My store can be found here: http://nurturedsewnaturally.com/store/
(i haven't changed very much from the original layout of zencart, even the text is the same - I'm trying to get the modules figured out before i list all my products & change what pages say).

The product i put in to test letter mail can be found in the "PRODUCTS FOR TESTING SITE" category

On Canada Post's side I have the dummy box that you start out with & 1 lettermail option that i put in just to test lettermail - the specs for the lettermail envelope match those given as an example in the "Lettermail_readme" instructions:
Description: Lettermail_0
Weight Limit: 30
Box Weight: 0.010 kg
Length: 25.4 cm
Width: 16.2 cm
Height: 2 cm

I did just notice that in the "Shipping Services" section on Canada Post's side, that I only have Priority, Xpresspost, Expedited, Regular showing up, there isn't an option for lettermail there - I'm not sure if there is supposed to be though.

Thanks for all your help Royal!

Hello Carley,

Change Weight Limit to: 0.500 kg

What is your test item measurement?

There isn't any option on Canada Post side for "Lettermail".

I just changed the weight limit to .500 kg

test item measurements:
Products Shipping Weight: .001 kg (i tried different weights, without any change in results so far)
Length 5.00 cm
Width 5.00 cm
Height 1.00 cm

and ready to ship is NOT selected

Hello Carley,

In Zen Cart Admin. Go to "Configuration" click on "Shipping/Packaging".

Look for:

Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight and change the value to 0:0 if it is not.

Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight and change the value to 0:0 if it is not.

If that does not work try re-install the Canadapost Module.

Did you cute and paste the "mysql_canpost_dimensional_13x.sql" in Tools/Install SQL Patches?
