♥geoffreywalton Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 Probably because the operator is not logged in there is no shipping destination to use to calculate the rate.

benny2012 Posted January 1, 2013 Share Posted January 1, 2013 @@geoffreywalton yes thats the conclusion i made, but its pulling a cost from somewhere, as if you check out without logging in, it adds a charge for delivery it pulls it from somewhere, if i could find this out i could set it up better, i guess il just have to try and figure out how to force a log in before purchase can be made would be even greater if member could input his postcode/zipcode without needing to log in Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benny2012 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 ok update, it seems heavy items are not bringing up any shipping options, but light items are. i have set up all modules to allow for heavy items upto 120kgs infact with parcelforce48 , items are only 4kg so not sure why this is Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 For a non UK customer you should not show UK only modules, so that seems to be working correctly. What does not seem to be working is your selected module for non UK deliveries. I had a similar problem ages ago with international shipping. If you are using the royal mail addon, make sure you have activated the modules by setting to true the enable option. You have probably already entered a minimum and maximum weight to ship, so make sure you have added a maximum value to ship, as I think one of them was set to zero on installation, especially on the airmail module, as I think that is where the problem was, but I may be wrong.

benny2012 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 @@14steve14 i have checked settings and all modules are set to true as in enabled. furthermore this is how they are set. airmail is set to max weight of 2kgs and max value of £46 parcelforce is set to max weight of 100kgs. and max value of 2450 if i place a 1kg item in cart, then i can select airmail or parcelforce. if i add a item of 4kg, im not getting any parcelforce48 , i have set up all the zones and tariffs as per the last prices update. im baffled on this one. all appears to work, apart from larger items going abroard.

benny2012 Posted January 2, 2013 Share Posted January 2, 2013 ok iv sussed the above, parcelforce only has the valid iso GB, making it only visable to uk as my package is over 2kg , it cant go via airmail, so i think im needing to expand the reach of parcelforce module. heres my settings for parcelforce Valid ISO Country Codes GB Parcelforce48 Rates 2:9.67,5:10.5,10:12.75,15:17.83,20:22.75,25:31.58,30:35,35:40,40:45,45:50,50:55,55:60,60:65,65:70,70:75,75:80,80:85,85:90,90:95,95:100,100:105 so is there any way i can clone this as another zone ? in a nutshell i need to offer delivery worldwide , packages could be up to 30kg, and looking at parcelforce site would cost about £200 how do i best go about adding further zones or adding true worldwide shipping for all zones and weights many thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥14steve14 Posted January 3, 2013 Share Posted January 3, 2013 You probably need to use a courier for exporting large parcels.

Unfortunately, as I had just started to use Hermes, they have deleted their 0-1Kg band. As most of my parcels are bulky but light the minimum charge is now £4.20, from £3.00, quite a jump.

keithhirst Posted November 3, 2013 Share Posted November 3, 2013 I have been having issues with wp-ecommerce on a wordpress site and I needed to find a suitable repacement with a royal mail addon that allows me to delivery overseas using Royal Mail. So here I am. I have installed osCommerce on to a separate page on my site and I am toying with 'UK Royal Mail & Overseas Shipping Methods'. I have managed to clone the catalog\includes\modules\shipping\parcelforce48.php to a second file parcelforcez1.php and plan to copy it to the 9 other Royal Mail zones so I can have different rates for different Royal Mail world Areas. All I needed to do was replace every reference in the file from PARCELFORCE48 to PARCELFORCEZ1 and parcelforce48 to parcelforcez1 to maintain the case. I repeated this for the catalog\includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\parcelforce48.php which i also copied to parcelforcez1.php I thought I would share this information as I notices a couple of people asking after a solution to this problem. My next plan will be to do this for Hermes Collection Rates though I still need to look for their rates before I start developing the shop further. I have one problem at the moment that you may be able to help me with though, When I enable First Class Standard it works fine but when I then enable Second Class Standard, it disables First Class Standard and vica versa. This means I can only have one or the other active. Very Odd. Is this a known problem? I have not edited these files whatsoever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It turns out if you keep adding and removing rates osCommerce gets confused. I had to remove all the modules, go to the modules that had been removed and then for some of them remove them again as the Remove Module option was available. finally I added all the shipping modules I needed.
