TB Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 If anyone else having the same problems with the new AustPost module where it seems as though the Flat Rate, and Parcel Post or linked somehow? I can't activate ParcelPost on it's own... I have to activate the Flat Rate module and then both are switched on. Is this a bug or a feature? I can't work out what the feature could be, though there may be one... Cheers, Tony Quote "The price of success is perseverance. The price of failure comes much cheaper."

Snowman Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 Hmm maybe ive stuffed up somewhere and left a bit of the flat rate code in there by mistake, i built them up from it. I'll have a check and report back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 19, 2003 Share Posted January 19, 2003 I cant enable the auspost parcel post module until the flat rate module is working either. Bah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Quick Bugfix either download http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,648 or open the auspost.php file in the includes/modules/shipping folder and find line 88 $check_query = tep_db_query("select configuration_value from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key = 'MODULE_SHIPPING_FLAT_STATUS'"); and replace it with $check_query = tep_db_query("select configuration_value from " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " where configuration_key = 'MODULE_SHIPPING_AUSPOST_STATUS'"); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 It works fine now, thanks Steve! BTW I think it'd be great if the 'Your Postcode' was automatically filled out based on the postcode entered in the 'My Store' configuration screen. Is this possible?

TB Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 Steve, I've had a quick look at the DRC system and it bases it's 'quote' on not only the weight, but the cubic capacity of the item also. How difficult would it be to add this feature to the existing AusPost module? Do we even require the cubic capacity? Will it make that much difference to overall shipping total? Cheers, Tony P.S. How do I add insurance for all shopping cart totals over $100. I can see the default $25 version, though this obvously stops adding the $5.90 insurance once the order goes over $25.

Snowman Posted January 20, 2003 Share Posted January 20, 2003 I deliberately didnt do that incase merchants despatch from a different Postcode than where their store is located. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 Valid point about the location differences, though I think it would still be easier to show the default postcode entry as the current postcode as entered in the 'My Store' screen. Not all stores will be shipping from Sydney (2000) and I'm guessing that 9 out of 10 people would need to change it to another postcode because of this. At least if the postcode defaults to the current postcode (My Store) then there's less chance it will need to be changed. And if it does need changing, then they are in a no different position than if it was 2000. Cheers, Tony Quote "The price of success is perseverance. The price of failure comes much cheaper."

Guest Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 If you add your stock with whatever type of weight they are going to go as it shouldnt be too inaccurate. ie; when adding dense things (hdds) use their actualy weight, when adding bulky things (cases) use their cubic weight instead. I can see that there would be problems with this, you could put a hdd INSIDE a case for shipping etc but this would prove to be an exception not a rule.

No problem as such, just streamlining. Why change the postcode if you can have it setup with your default postcode to begin with? Quote "The price of success is perseverance.

Snowman Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 because not everyone ships from thepr stores location. This allows you to specify. For example on one of my stores everything gets shipped from Melbourne but my store is in Country Victoria. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TB Posted January 21, 2003 Share Posted January 21, 2003 I understand the concept of seperate locations for shipping some items. (BTW is that going to be a feature of future versions? Postcode of suppliers/manufacturer so all items by them are calculated based on where that particular product will ship from.) I'm not suggesting to use the default postcode instead of the input box which allows you to enter a postcode. All I was suggesting was that the postcode be pre-filled from the beginning with your current postcode instead of the '2000' postcode... if you want to change it from there... go for it! I know this is a minor thing that can easily be changed once you enable the module, though I just thought that it'd make the installation more streamlined for stores who ship from their current location. I don't know the stats on stores who ship items themselves, or ship items from other locations... though I'd guess that the majority would ship from their current location.

adam_j_bradley Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Just had a peek at the Australia Post site, even delivery within Australia looks quite complicated with the rates varying based on the relative distances of the origin from the destination _and_ weight (as well as a mutiplier based on KGs). I'm looking to write something that sends a request for a quote and processes the response to get a quote rather than trying to write a forumla and perhaps incorporate these changes into auspost v2! Anyone done any work along these lines? Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Snowman Posted April 11, 2003 Share Posted April 11, 2003 Adam thats what the module already does. It obtains the quote from the australia post DRC and returns the value, based on the weight, ship from Postcode and the destination postcode.

Guest Posted April 28, 2004 Share Posted April 28, 2004 I've just installed austPost, but running the SQL statements and uploaded the php files. I've also enabled the modules in the admin section. However, when I checkout I get the following errors. AusPOST Parcel Post ERROR: The delivery rate for this option cannot be determined at this time If you prefer to use this option as your shipping method, please contact the store owner. AusPOST Express Post Parcel ERROR: The delivery rate for this option cannot be determined at this time If you prefer to use this option as your shipping method, please contact the store owner. Is there any further detail as to what is happening here? I believe that I followed the README instructions on how to install the module. Any suggestions? Thanks! mangohead Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi, Mangohead, just in case you are still having problems, I had the same error, check that you have maximum shipping weight in your store configuration set at 20 and that you have put in your shipping from postcode. this worked for me. Good luck! Maria Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted May 13, 2004 Share Posted May 13, 2004 Hi, can't seem to figure out why my rates are not correct. I have a couple of queries, 1. for parcels under 500g, is there something I need to adjust somewhere as I can't get anything less than $5.82 for parcels of 250g. 2. Is there a way of rounding - Australia Post quotes the price as $5.80 for parcels @ 500g - my rate is $5.82? And for pacels 2kg the price comes back at $6.09 when it should be $6.10. 3. I provide free shipping for orders of $50.00 when the shipping page comes up the customer is told that shipping is free, but the Express Post logo is above it - as I will not be sending the packages via Express Post when it is free postage I don't won't them to get the wrong information. How do I get rid of this. My sort order in admin shows Express Post - after Parcel Post sort order - 1. My settings are:- Shipping postcode 6290 - delivery postcode 6290 Calculate GST on shipping - False Tax class on Shipping - None Parcel Height - 100 Width - 100 - Depth - 100 Handling Fee - nil Shipping Zones - Australia I installed the auspost.spq and then the sample.sql Any help would be greatly appreciated. cheers!

creationsbykate Posted September 28, 2004 Share Posted September 28, 2004 Hi, Just wondering if you had any luck with the austpost mod, Im also getting strange figures $5.82, and when I do a check on the austpost website i get different prices. Also do you know if it possible to offer satchels such as 500g and 3kg Richard Quote ____________________________________ Gifts! Ceramic Tiles! Magnets! Coasters!
