I have encountered some issues with the Australia Post Module. 1. When I add an item to the cart and then proceed to the checkout, without logging in, I receive a message "The Australia Post shipping plugin requires the user to enter a postal code when goods are shipped within Australia. Please go to "Display->Custom fields" and set the post code field to required." This has been set correctly. When I login with a user with a postcode, then the error message disappears. I think this message shouldn't be shown at this time. 2. When I have logged in and proceed to the checkout, the "Final Total" doesn't include the cost of the shipping. If I hit proceed to checkout again, then the "Final Total" is correct. Other than those issues, I like the product and will probably replace Virtuemart with the paid version of the software. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks Peter")* Today I have just downloaded the latest hikashop with the fix for australia post shipping. Now i find that aust post does not come up in cart as an option to ship. I have manual shipping ticked as well and that is working fine. I see the conversation above is it now fixed or am i too early. Problem was mine the system was waiting for the user to log in so it would know his postcode to calculate shipping. Sorry for any inconvenience and keep up the good work great product. Last edit: 15 years 9 months ago by [keith181](/forum/user/932-keith181 "View keith181's Profile").

So, without the address of the user, it can't calculate the fees.
