RE: Solution: Shipping UPS to Alaska/Hawaii



What version of MV are you using?  I'm having difficulty finding the code to replace for step 3.  Currently, I'm using MV 3.12.

Hi All,

I've finally tackled UPS shipping to Alaska and Hawaii and thought I'd
share my success.

1. In country.asc, add a upsbak entry (UPS Blue Alaska/Hawaii):

US      US      upsg upst upsb usps upsbak      United States

2. In shipping.asc, add a new upsbak section:

upsbak  UPS Two Day     weight  0       0       c A UPS products/960.csv 5 1
upsbak  UPS Two Day     weight  -1      -1      o PriceDivide=0
upsbak  UPS Two Day     weight  0       0       e Nothing to ship
upsbak  UPS Two Day     weight  0       150     A 2ndDayAir [value zip]
upsbak  UPS Two Day     weight  150     999999  e Not Available

3. In your ord/basket.html, remove any $0.00 entries from the SELECT list
(thanks to Dan Busarow for the perl). This keeps the basket from always
showing two 2-Day entries with one $0.00. It also has the added benefit of
excluding any ship methods which have reported an error (such as too heavy
for carrier, or invalid zip for carrier):

<SELECT MV=loop
        MV.SEARCH="fi=country.asc/se=[default country
US]/sf=selector/rf=shipmodes"
        MV.OPTION="mv_shipmode"
        onChange="this.form.submit()"
        NAME="mv_shipmode">
        [perl interpolate=1]
            $sub = [shipping [loop-code]] + 0;
            return '<OPTION VALUE="[loop-code]"> [shipping-desc [loop-code]]
[shipping [loop-code]]' if $sub > 0;
        [/perl]
</SELECT>

4. In your 999.csv add the Alaska and Hawaii zip codes like:

Dest. ZIP,Ground,3 Day Select,2nd Day Air,2nd Day Air A.M.,Next Day Air
Saver,Next Day Air
96706-96707,,,224,,124
96709,,,224,,124
96712,,,224,,124
96717,,,224,,124
.
.
.

Now you should be set to offer UPS Blue Label to Alaska and Hawaii *and*
have the rates calculated correctly. Should be easy enough to adapt to Red
Label (which I don't use). Any suggestions on making this work better
gladly accepted!

Cheers,
Tim

PS: I've quickly typed them all in for 960 and posted them at
http://www.valutech.net/960AKHI.csv to save everyone from typing them all
in - please let me know if you find any errors.
