In reply to: [Shipping Rates for HK Post] Customers can order without paying shippingAre you able to reproduce this in the demo site – https://demo.excelerus.dev/hkpost-postage-calculator/ ?
I suspect this might be due to shipping configuration on your site.
It might be due to no Shipping Method(s) for Shipping Zone – ‘Locations not covered by your other zones’. For countries not included in other shipping zones, shipping method(s) of this zone is/are applied; and if there are non configured then user can checkout without any shipping charges.Could you check and let me know please.

Thanks for catching this bug.

In reply to: [Shipping Rates for HK Post] Release 1.2.0 – Update for rate revisionThis is an on-going issue. And is caused by upstream data issue ie delay by Hongkong Post in updating the rates. This also affects the Postage Calculator on thier own site (https://www.hongkongpost.hk/en/postage_calculator/index.html).
Please find detailed write-up with screenshots at https://demo.excelerus.dev/hkpost-postage-calculator/

In reply to: [Shipping Rates for HK Post] Item Weight vs Shipping WeightIn keeping with the WordPress philiosopy I am inclined to keep this plugin simple (for users) ie it should not require any additional learning or configuration beyond bare minimum.
Another guard rail I consider for scoping features in this plugin is – if the feature relevant ONLY for HK Post shipping method. The ‘packaging weight’ seems like a feature that might be relevant for other shipping methods too.
However, I agree that the scenario that you mention is a fairly common occurrence. And different sites would have different needs (eg handling fees, additional flat charges, additional % weight, etc).
I was thinking of adding an action hook (with sample code snippets) for users/developers to add those costs as per their specific circumstances.
Happy to hear your views on this.

In reply to: [Shipping Rates for HK Post] Smart Post (Counter Collection)?It is on the roadmap, however there are few other features that I plan to prioritise (viz. improve performance with storing rates in database instead of files, and auto refresh based on rates updates by HK Post).
You can track the roadmap at https://github.com/excelerus/wp-org-shipping-rates-for-hk-post/wiki/Roadmap

In reply to: [Shipping Rates for HK Post] How to change in USD or other CurrencyMulti Currency support
There is an undocumented* integration with WooCommerce Multi-Currency that would allow you to use this plugin with multi currency.
Undocumented – This feature / integration has not been mentioned elsewhere as it has not undergone through testing. Do test is in staging and please file any issues that you come across.Currency Configuration
Plugin respects currency configuration in base WooCommerce that you can use to add / change $ symbol.I have put up a demo site at https://demo.excelerus.dev/shipping-rates-for-hk-post/ with following configuration
– WP 5.6, WC 4.8, Storefront Theme 3.0
– Configured 2 shipping zones – a) Local (for Hong Kong), and b) Locations not covered by your other zones
– For each shipping zone, added Hongkong Post as Shipping Method and enabled respective delivery services (local vs international).On the frontend Cart Page, on changing the address (and clicking Update Cart) shipping rates are being updated.
Could you test your scenario on the demo site to check if error could be reproduced, and share those steps if so.
thanks.
