Pre-Login Shipping Calculator

Hey DogByteMan, I've tried your version of the code for 4.1.8, but are having some problem. Any zip code entered that are outside of California will give

"Sorry, there are no available shipping methods for your location.: anonymous"

Not sure if it is the code or something else I did, since I was setting up shipping all together for the first time yesterday. California is the only zone I listed in "destination zone" since I have a tax rule. But I tried creating a zone for Indiana and used a Indiana zip code to calculate shipping, unfortunately, the same "Sorry, there are no available shipping methods for your location.: anonymous". message.

I am using fedex Ship manager direct to get the shipping price.

Any ideas?

It seems that you haven't populate the Rate table for the other states. If using Fedex goto options and click the import button.

Under FedEx options there are two integration methods. 1)FedEx Rate Tools
and 2)FedEx Ship Manager Direct. The import rate data function is under 1)Fedex Rate Tools. If I use that option, I won't receive the "Sorry, there are no available shipping methods for your location.: anonymous" message. It is when I use 2)FedEX Ship Manager Direct that I will get the message whenever the zip code is outside of California.

Well, I guess as long as one of the intergration method works, I should be happy. So I am just going to be using FedEx Rate Tools for now.

I'm using real time shipping (UPS) but it sure sounds like a rate table problem to me

It does not appear this mod works correctly (at all) with FedEx enabled. Turn off FedEx and rates appear fine. So...anyone successfully implement this with FedEx?

Balinor, When you say that it doesn't work with Fedex, what and when does the problem occur? I am using the code from post #206 by Dogbyteman with Fedex and it seems to work. The only thing is that I have to select FedEx Rate Tools instead of FedEx Ship Manager direct. Perhaps I haven't test it enough. You can try it out on our site www.dvrsecuritylab.com

The only tiny problem I can find with this mod right now is that it can only take 5 digit zip code, so you can't use it with any international orders (canada). Also with international orders, USPS express (EMS) quote is not showing up, but the problem with that is probabaly not related to this mod.

Sorry, I mean for Ship Manager Direct....the live rate feed is MUCH less cumbersome, as you don't have to update it regularly.

Then it is not working for me either.

I'm having a hard time understanding.... Since basicly we're just transfering the code contents of cart.tpl to cart_subtotal.tpl... Then if all methods work in cart.tpl shouldn't they work in the post mod cart_subtotal.tpl as well?

You'd think that would be the case, but it is not
