Hello,
My site is back online
Thank you for waiting

I have followed this thread to the end and don't seem to have found a solution for an Aussie shipping module that handles overseas shipping. There must be other shop owners in Oz using VM that wish to trade OS. If anyone has any info on this I would appreciate the tip.

sorry strike that last comment, i missed page 12, second look i found it, Thanks very much for this contribution.

I am not sure if this is correct but the module seems to be displaying the wrong shipping amounts. I have a product that is set at 20grams in weight however the shipping cost locally is $14.30 and to send to the US is $72 which seems excessively high. Also if I increase the weight to 1.3kg the cost remains unchanged.
Should I be changing the config anywhere? Any help would be much appreciated.

I can't get the images to appear, even though they are in the administrator\components\com_virtuemart\classes\shipping\images path (as nominated in the php files.  This is for both the austpost_improve and austpost_oseas modules.

I am a newbie with no php knowledge. I have installed the latest auspost as per this post.
When I go thru to see if all is working I get to the shipping page on my site I get the following messages:

Notice: Undefined variable: shipping_rate_id in /clientdata/zeus-dynamic-1/s/u/superiorrcmodels.com.au/www/joomla_1_5_18/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/shipping/auspost_impove.php  on line 170

Can someone please advise how to fix this?

Also where do I get the auspost images?

auspost_impove_v1.1.1 found http://www.megaupload.com/?d=L3M94WW9 does not work with virtuemarts currency converter module, any ideas how to make it work.

currently no matter what currency is selected, the postage price stays the same which could cost the seller a lot more than expected.

Hello everyone.
Actually there is a method which handle overseas pricing, the simple australiapost shipping method. There is few options available but I'm going to add some several options as currency conversion, girth calculate, several packages options.
You can find it here: http://bit.ly/cxQ5IP
Let me know if you have any comments or requests. You can also post report on Joomla! Forge.
Have a good day.

Great module BUT this one still dose not work with virtuemarts currency converter module either.

I have attached a couple screenshots.

note the shipping price is the same in all currencies and should change.

Hi Marino,
You are right. I'm acctually working on a new version which will convert currency. I will keep you informed when it is done. You can also subscribe to my mailing list about Simple Extensions I have done: http://bit.ly/ProMailing_Sub.
Regards.

thebeardman,

That sounds great. Can you please let me know when you finish developing the currency fix? I would love to use the aus post module, but I can't really until it works with user selected currencies.

Also, does anyone have a fix for the <= 100 grams thing?

If a customer purchases something lighter than 101 grams, I get the 'Invalid Weight Parameter' error. Does someone know what to change, to make the system skip the calculator if the weight is <= 100 (and just charge handling perhaps)?

Thanks everyone!

Hi everyone, I just updated the Simple AustraliaPost Shipping method. You can download it here.
You will find more informations on the Joomla! Extensions Directory or on the VirtueMart Extensions Directory.
You can post any bug or request on the forge here.
New functionnalities are currency conversion, and multiple parcels option.
@psypi In the Simple AustraliaPost Shipping method, the minimal weight is 1 gram. If you want to put shipping fee for product under 1 gram, you can use the standard module.
