Shipping and Logistics modules
Carrier Compare
This module enables the customer to compare carrier possibilities before continuing with the checkout process.
This module is very straightforward: just install it to display its option on your front office.
All the available carriers must have their fees properly set. This is done at the bottom "Shipping" page, in the "Fees by carrier, geographical zone, and ranges".
The module configuration page only has one option, "Refresh carrier list method". This enables you to display a carrier either only when all the information is set, or at any time.
Date of Delivery
This module displays an approximate date of delivery during the checkout process.
The configuration page has two sections:
Carrier configuration. The module relies on indications from your carriers. You must therefore add rules for each of your carriers, by clicking on the "Add a new carrier rule" link.
Settings:
Extra time when a product is out of stock. Estimate the time it might take for your team to re-stock products. This is only useful if customers can order out-of-stock products (the option for this is in the "Products" preference page, in the "Products stock" section).
Extra time for preparation of the order. Estimate the time it might take for your team to prepare an order.
Preparation option. If your packaging team also works on weekends, indicate it, as the module takes this into account.
Date format. The format in which the expected delivery date is displayed. It uses PHP
date()format: each letter has a meaning, as explained in the indicated link. The default, "l j F Y", means the date will be displayed in the format "Saturday 21 January 2012". There are many more parameters that you can use to build the date format as you see fit: see http://www.php.net/manual/en/function.date.php.
Adding a new carrier rule is pretty straightforward:
Carrier. Choose the carrier for which you want to add the rule. If the wanted carrier is not there, you must create it in the Shipping > Carriers page.
Delivery between. Set the timeframe in which the chosen carrier promises to deliver products. You have to gather this information from the carrier itself.
Preparation options. Some carriers also prepare their packages on weekend days, so as to send them first thing on Monday morning. Be sure to indicate it if so.
You should create as many carrier rules as necessary.

Export on each order?. You may prefer to have several order-specific export files rather than a big one.
Parcel tracking criterion?. Should the parcel be tracked on a per-customer or a per-order basis? If you are unsure, keep it to per-order.
