Auspost shipping calc problem

[theotai]

Hi anyone,

 

I am playing around with the Auspost v2.02 International Express Air module module and have come across a problem with the way the shipping charge is calculated in auspostair.php. Namely, the bit where it works out the total charge by ($charge/1.1)

 

From what I can tell the amount received from the query to Australia post is correct right up til the point where the module divides it by 1.1... If anyone has any ideas on why the charge is being calculated like this can they let me know.

 

The easy solution is obviously to remove the '/1.1' bit and get the correct charge as calculated by Australia post, however, I have a feeling the calc is there for a good reason and I am just missing something simple...

 

Here's an example of what happens:

 

A parcel of 2kg is being sent to the US by AusPOST International Parcel Post - AIR

 

The module queries the Australia post website for the charge which returns $44.50, the correct amount that I expect to see against the shipping method.

 

The module then divides this by 1.1 giving a shipping price of $40.00 3 dollars short of what it should be.

 

 

anyone shed any light on this!!!???

What have you got set as the per Item weight for the product? It should be 0.200
