matbennett Posted September 29, 2003 Share Posted September 29, 2003 Hi All, I've just completed a module for the UK based courier Business Post (http://www.businesspost.com/). It's probably a bit too customer-specific for contribution at the moment, but provides a reasonable starting point for anyone who uses this courier. If others are interested in using it I'd be happy to try and tidy it up a bit for general release. Just reply to let me know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Samson Posted October 5, 2003 Share Posted October 5, 2003 Hi Matt, I'd be very interested in this module, been looking into vreating one myself the last few days. Be great if you could email it to me - [email protected]. Thanks, Samson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbennett Posted October 6, 2003 Author Share Posted October 6, 2003 I've uploaded it as a zip file. Should probably put this up as a flaky contribution, but this will do for now: http://www.brit-net.com/offsite/osc/ In the back of my mind, I am sure that the zoning is not perfect (I was being given bits of the list at a time, so it is pretty messy), but I have not seen a wrong calculation of zone yet. Hope that it is of at least some help. Let me know if you improve it at all. Mat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

crash3903 Posted October 6, 2003 Share Posted October 6, 2003 hi matt i know this is a bit stupid to ask but how is it installed?? thanks mark Quote Regards Mark A Reynolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbennett Posted October 10, 2003 Author Share Posted October 10, 2003 Sorry for the slow reply. Must have accidentally unsubscribed to this topic. re the "me toos". Just help yourself from the link above. Installation: There are only two files, so it is pretty easy. They should unzip to roughly the right locations, but if not then one goes in includes/languages/english/modules/shipping and the other in includes/modules/shipping (or there abouts) Once they are uploaded just go to shipping administration, look for the module "Business Post", click it then click install. Once it is installed you can edit the rates for each of the UK business post zones. The rate entered is multiplied by the number of items. Hopefully that makes sense.

crash3903 Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 thanks matey i will let you know how it goes regards mark Quote Regards Mark A Reynolds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
radders Posted October 10, 2003 Share Posted October 10, 2003 From what I remember from my recent dicussions with Business Post, cost is based mostly on weight of shipment eg. 500 gm or 1kg etc. rather than fixed cost or cost per item. I'll try this out as this could be the solution for my heavier parcels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
matbennett Posted October 11, 2003 Author Share Posted October 11, 2003 The module was really designed to meet the needs of one client, rather than for wider use. That client had a per item agreement with them, which is why it is designed that way. Imagine that it would be pretty easy to change it around to be by weight though. The main job of the module is to determine with UK business post region the customer is in. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rubin Remus Posted November 17, 2009 Share Posted November 17, 2009 Try the link again now. I know this thread is old, but is there a version of this still kicking around somewhere? It may just stop me from being sectioned... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
