I still have problems with someone adding items to my cart and being from california. When they checkout and create the account there is no problem and then when they continue, no shipping is added. I have made sure it is in my countries zone and have no idea where to look from here. If I change the number in the geo_zone table it works. I also noticed in my zones_to_geo_zones table there are a number of entries that have 0 for zone_id and duplicate geo_zone_id in the same table. Is it safe to just delete this table and reinsert from the sql supplied or is there something else I need to do to make sure they associate properly. I think this is the root of my problem. Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks George! That worked great.
The module appears to be working when you initially enter the checkout process using the default ship-to address. However, if I go to change the ship-to address and the address is in a different zone (eg. I'm in Ontario, Canada and I change it to Alberta, Canada or even to the US) when I return to the shipping checkout page the shipping quotes have been reduced to just my handling charge.
It doesn't seem to be recalculating the shipping quotes if the ship-to address is changed from the initial default address. However, if I go back and change the address to the initial default address or even someone else in the same zone, the initial quotes return. ????
As I said I am a total newbie at all this and have no idea how to correct this. This is a great mod if I can only get it to work! Any help would be greatly appreciated!
Please ignore my ramblings. With a little bit of installing and uninstalling, checking to make sure my tables didn't have any extra stuff in them and making sure my comma delimited file was correct, I managed to get this great mod working!
Firstly, thank you for a great contribution, it works pretty much like a dream!
I can't see where the extra 0.5 is coming from. Previously it was adding 3lb to the total until I set shipping/packaging > Package Tare weight to 0, so 2 items would be 13lb, note it wasn't adding the extra 0.5 just 3.
Question is why when I remove the Package Tare weight does it then start adding 0.5lb onto every items weight?
It's probably something simple - I hope anyway.
Love this mod its an absolute must have - one question - i need to duplicate the MZMT file so that i can have two seperate instances with seperate language files - anyone know what i have to change? Im running the MVS mod with the tweaked MZMT module to suit (which is 'almost' identical) and need to apply MZMT to a second vendor, and hence a second MZMT language file.
Have had a roll amongst the code and ALMOST got it working by calling everything MZMT2 but its still seeing it as an installed version of the original so i have obviously missed something.
So how do i go about duplicating this baby for a second MZMT module.
Any tips met with fawning gratitude!

This contribution is the closest I can get to setting up a great way to quote Freight shipments. I have it installed and have created 20 zones in Canada (I'm in Ontario, Canada) and the US, with all the rates for up to 10,000 lbs shipments.
so I can have the customer select from a drop down list (not made yet). This allows me to make zones in Canada based on the major city names to really get the best rate quotes instead of using the entire province as one zone(It's very big!). For my USA customers they can just select their state again.
How do I get the module to look at the suburb field to compare for the zone selection? (If that is what it does).
I need to add a fuel surcharge to the total price. The fuel surcharge is added as a percentage of the total freight rate. Currently for LTL (Less Than Truck Load) shipments the rate my shipper (Craler International)charges is 11.5%. Others charge 15%. It varies.
How do I add the 11.5% fuel surcharge? Can the handling fee be adapted? If so, I can then use it to add the customs and duty charges for the zones in the USA.
When the configuration>shipping&packaging>maximum package weight is set to the weight I need for another shipper (Fastway Couriers 55 lbs) that handles packages under 55 lbs, the module breaks up the skid loads into numerous packages and the rates go out the window. We know that this is a pain, but how to fix it doesn't seem to be that easily to find. If I set the max package weight to 5000 lbs, There are no problems with this module, but the Fastway module (Zipship) doesn't work right and Fedex doesn't return any rates after the order exceeds 150 lbs.
How can I stop this module from getting these chopped up weights?
All this hindges on the customer using a drop box selection with all my zone identifiers. (Major Canadian Cities and USA state names which coincide with the zone names).
How do I build a drop down box with all my zone names in the area that I need it? i.e. Toronto, Ottawa, Calgary, New York, Georgia, Kentucky etc.
PS: I'm not a php expert but I don't give up easy either. I hope there are people out there who would like to help work this out. Perhaps there are others would could use this module in the mannor I am trying to use it?
Tools I'm using: OSC2.2 milestone2, Filezilla for FTP, PHP Designer 2007PE (nice), Araxis Merge 6.5 to compare files, XP(my box), Remote Server is shared Apache 1.3 Cpanel, CURL, and PHPmyAdmin through my hosts Cpanel to mess up the database.
This is a fantastic contribution.. The only gripe I have is the calculation is set on the lower threshold as opposed to the higher..
I read the docs and added 5 more zone sets, uninstalled then uploaded and reinstalled and I still only see 3 sets of zones there..
Anone have any ideas here??
Hi everybody ... Thanx for this contrib !
I would like to apply to the Handling Fee option a pourcentage based on the sub-total of the order instead of a fix price ?
Go to your Admin->Config->MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping Settings and change both values to your needs (qty of tables & qty of zones).
Tax Zones, Class, Rates- all set with separate priority numbers ( so Tax rates are compounded not added).
Possible problem ? : Could the spare Geozones be calling a MGZMT in-built "Rest Of World" feature ??
Or is this duplication of tax display and charges related to something else ?
I have just solved my previous issue of tax displayed twice and added twice to checkout_confirmation total.
(Ive noticed a few lurking sadly in past forums ).
Instead of deleting the empty Tax zone, Id left it standing.
I use the tables set to the count method. one is base price, each additional is x price.
I'd like to max out the shipping for the USA at $X. in other words, shipping would never be more than $X. also, I'd like to offer free shipping for orders above $X.
is there anyway to do this with this contrib and still leave the tables I have set at count? is there a contrib I can use in addition to this one that will override if shipping is over $X or order is above $X and charge correct shipping prices?
Thanks in advance for the help or the reference to another post!
I would like to disable the normal shipping.
did someone already tried this?
I've removed and reinstall the module but this is still not apply the right shipping costs.
I have evrything working - with the zones set up, when i test it, buy an item, it is in the cart, I go to check out and i have the item there and in the Shipping Method I can see the correct shipping amount but the radio select button is not there to select that option so I can;t proceed with check out.
Any ideas? Probably something simple I missed. If I enable other shipping options as well such as Flat rate, these other options have the select button but not the MultiGeoZone.
There is a zero in the Sort Order column for Flat Rate and Per Item but no entry next to MultiGeoZone MultiTable. Clicking on the information icon merely switches the info icon to the arrow pointing right icon. Is this correct? I was hoping to see an edit option with true or false.
Thanks in advance for any help. I'm going round in circles trying to suss this one out.
I agree that this is a great contribution, but I am having difficulties installing it.
For some reason, my phpmyadmin is somewhat faulty and doesn't like to open up the pages I want all the time. So, I was wondering if the install.sql needs to be imported into a specific table, or if it needs to be a table of its own. I've tried importing it into configuration_group and configuration, but I keep getting errors that it doesn't match the count of row 1...not really sure what that means. Is there a way to manually insert it into these tables? I've done that before, but I'm unclear of the correct values to use from the install.sql.
Also, after the table is configured and files installed in the admin, is that all that needs to be done? I checked out the older version to see how it works and it is really fast to set up and get right to the modules. Is this one the same way? My other concern is that, if a customer orders more than one product the weights are not adding together to determine the shipping cost, which I need it to do. That is why I was in search of a new contribution that would fix that. Will this contribution do that for me?
Thanks in advance for whoever can help me.
When was the last time someone used this contribution? I noticed no one has made a comment about anything regarding it since 2004. Is it still operable? I'm having difficulties installing it and would really appreciate some help. I was wondering if it's possible to manually install the install.sql file into the database....my phpmyadmin doesn't always like to cooperate with me, so it's not letting me import it at this moment. I may have a few questions later, but this one is probably the most important, as without it, I can't really use the contribution, and it's becomming a major necessity. I do have one other question about it though. If a customer has more than one product in their cart, will this contribution add both the weights together to get the appropriate shipping cost? Right now, my module is not doing that, that is why I was looking for a new contribution.
This sounds like it is a great contribution, but I just can't get it installed. I am fairly new to this stuff, but I have had no problems with other contributions in the past. I hope that I am not missing something really obvious, but I have followed the instructions and then retraced my steps about 10 times. The problem is that I don't have the "MultiGeoZone MultiTable Shipping" option under Administration -> Configuration. I checked my database and it is listed under configuration_group, but it doesn't show up, so I can't configure anything. The Shipping Module shows up under Administration -> Modules -> Shipping, but that doesn't do me much good without the configuration options. Any help would be very much appreciated.
