Hi Pepperoni
I have read your string with great interest, I don't know if you will see my enquiry let alone have the time or interest in responding to it, however; here goes.
Firstly from what I read of what you wrote, there is yet another basic flaw in PS base system, in that it only allows for the carriers URL tracking refence as a way of tracking or sorting outgoing packages & that you cleverly have figured away to allow this happen with the post code as well. Yet what I want to know is if this is supposed to be a community lead open source platform, why has your work not been included in one of the latest version of PS.
In fact there have been many good ideas & workarounds I have seen which PS just seems to ignore. Is there a place in the forums or anywhere that we, as users can register upgrade ideas/requirements, such as yours where users & developers can vote for what we think is a good idea for the next incarnation of PS, so that the powers to be at PS can see what the users want as a priority & what can wait?
My real question that I was looking for an answer to which lead me to your post is how to I find out what is the best carrier interface for PS, I have been trying to researching the addition of a module that interfaces with my choice of carriers & its a minefield, because of they way PS sells through its market place, there does not appear to be away of comparing them or clearly understanding what the pros or cons of each module are. Mostly they seem to be very expensive label printers from within PS , & that all the tracking & sorting is done by the carrier, can you point me at a place on the internet where I can find out honest reviews that helkp me understand what these modules do or don't do.
Apologies for taking up your time but I am lost on the carrier interface issue??
Kind Regards
