Problems Shipping To Canada



Hey guys,

I have been looking through the docs and the list all day trying to setup 
our store to ship to Canada using UPS rate tables and zone charts. The 
information there seems to assume that I know something I don't, as far as 
I can tell. Please see below:

1) Here's the shipping related Database lines from catalog.cfg:

Database            Ground       Ground.csv        CSV
Database            2ndDayAir    2ndDayAir.csv     CSV
Database            NextDayAir   NextDayAir.csv    CSV
Database            canstnd      canstnd.csv       CSV

2) Here's the Canada (CA) line from my country.asc:

CA      CA      upsca   Canada

3) Here's the upsca line from shipping.asc:

upsca   UPS Canada      weight  0       0       c C UPS_Canada 
products/can.csv
upsca   UPS Canada      weight  -1      -1      o PriceDivide=0
upsca   UPS Canada      weight  0       150     C upsca [default zip A0A] 
0.00
upsca   UPS Canada      weight  150     99999   e @@TOTAL@@ lbs too heavy 
for UPS

I followed the docs and added this block and removed the spaces and 
replaced with tabs as instructed. But I noticed that the other entries had 
the formula name matching the Database line in catalog.cfg. So I changed 
the c C UPS_Canada products/can.csv formula to c C canstnd products/can.csv 
so that it matches what's in catalog.cfg but it made no difference.

Also, how is the 0 weight handled? The other shipping methods have the 
line: weight  0       0       e Nothing to ship!

How should this be added here, or is it necessary?


4) Here's an excerpt from can.csv

Destination,canstnd
A0A-A9Z, 55
B0A-B9Z, 55
C0A-C9Z, 55
E0A-E9Z, 55
G0A-G0A, 52

This has been modified as instructed in the docs.

5) And finally, an excerpt from canstnd.csv

Weight,51,52,53,54,55,56
1,7.00,7.05,7.10,11.40,11.45,11.50
2,7.55,7.65,7.75,11.95,12.05,12.10
3,8.10,8.15,8.40,12.60,12.70,12.85
4,8.65,8.70,9.00,13.20,13.30,13.55
5,9.20,9.25,9.75,13.85,13.85,14.20
6,9.70,9.85,10.35,14.45,14.50,14.90
7,10.25,10.40,11.10,15.15,15.15,15.70

This also matches what the docs show as examples.

I have followed these docs as best I know how and I can't make this thing 
work. The best I have been able to make it work still gives me this error:

Note: No match found for mode 'upsca', quantity '13', returning 0. No match 
found for mode 'upsca', quantity '13', returning 0.

This is when trying to order a 13 pound item from the store.

It does show me the proper description in the shipping method select box on 
the checkout page, but has a $0.00 value as: UPS Canada $0.00

This was all tested with Canada selected as the country and with the postal 
code: T2P 5C6 which is Alberta Canada.

Could someone please point me in the right direction here? I think I may 
have been looking at this thing too long and have gotten a brain cramp... 
It shouldn't be this hard.



Thanks much,

Cameron Prince
