We would like our shipments deliverd on saturday. This now can't be done in the extension?

hey Emilev79,

thanks for your feedback. You are right. I was thinking in the line of:

  1. a default value for saterday delivery in the shipping settings of 2home delivery
  2. order view checkbox
  3. mass action to (de)activate the service on orders in the order view.

As far as I can see you propose the same thing :) but to be complete so other users can understand this train of thought some other possibilities that I played with, but that I won't be following through (any time soon)

  1. Saturday delivery linked to day of printing (when labels are printed on Friday they automatically become Saturday delivery labels)
    • (+) Easy to integrate
    • (--) What if the order isn't picked in time? The extension does not allow you to reprint labels (at this time) and you will have to pay for a Saturday delivery label even if it's shipped on a Monday.
  2. Checkout option for client
    • (+) Extra option for final cnee
    • (?) what if the order isn't picked in time? Will the parcel stay put until the next Saturday in order to ensure a Saturday delivery to the cnee? Otherwise the same negative point as above stands.

Hi, I'm not sure for other users or countries. But as far as I understood the saturday delivery surcharge for b2c in The Netherlands is gone now. So we pay the same for a weekdays or saturday delivery. Best to check with the sales DPD for the Netherlands if this concerns all customers. Then there would be no problem if the order is picked to late. Otherwise in the config/admin the option to 'enable / disable' saturday shipping? That would be really easy, the we just change on fridaymorning that setting.

Hey Emilev79,

for BeLux this isn't the case (yet), so I need to keep in mind the picking times :) I now have a plan of action:

  1. configuration in shipping settings as first change (default value)
  2. configuration in specific order view as second change
  3. mass actions in DPD Order view to handle this in bulk.

I'll be handling this together with issue #12 because the same solution fits both problems.

Hi,

We have the option in the 'admin' to choose Saturday delivery but it is not working. When exporting to Delisprint it won't show as a Saturday shipment.

Please see image attached. We use original extension but we changed 'Dpdgrid.php' as we only ship 'NP' and 'NCP' so no 'SP' etc. I mentioned the code but can't imagine that is has anything to do with that.

saturday

Hey Emilev79,

The service configuration for Saturday delivery was for the core extension. The delisprint export extions isn’t updated with the Saturday delivery data.
