Seems to me that the bigger problem is when people have moved since they put in the shipping address originally, and mere validation won't catch that problem -- there's no substitute for folks logging in and providing the new address, in these cases.

Maybe it would be a good idea to do one of those mass emails and let people know that the products are on their way from China and that people need to log in and make sure their postal mail addresses are up-to-date.

What I don't understand is why you aren't getting https as soon as you click the button that says User Console. That button does this:

function GoToUserConsole()
{
window.location.href="https://www.n344rb.com/MUSICIANSWORKSHOP/UserConsole";
return;
}

It can't be taking you anywhere other than the HTTPS login page.... So if there's something not working, it's either an artifact of the address masking (browser bug, in all likelihood) or something else unrelated to the http/https issue....

Are you seeing any errors/warnings in your JavaScript console when this doesn't work? It would really be better to find and fix the real problem rather than just masking it, and Chance changing the link on his site would just be masking the problem, IMHO.

I'm using Safari on a Mac (10.4.10) and getting no indicated errors. But when I click the user console button, it's not going to the secure site. The console login window loads, but the funny thing is, the url in the address field doesn't reflect any change; it still says http://www.the-musician-w&*$#@#p.com (my symbols there)
 
Chance's site uses some kind of URL masking.
It looks like it uses framesets, no matter what link you click from his website, the URL in the address bar will not change.

For example, go to chance's website, then click on links, and click Bill Bonahm's website. It still show's chance's website in the address bar.

Chance needs to change the link so theat it opens in a new window, that should fix it so that it doesn't open in a frameset.
 
I'm trying to get an idea of the size of some of these cartons, but they are in :cm". Can anyone convert? L=57, W=47, H=63 cm
 
1cm=



0.393700787 inches

Therefore

57cm=



22.440944859 inches Approximately.
 
Thanks. I will be receiving 225 cartons of that size just for the mic-pres. I have to allocate the room/floor space
 
OK math grurus, if I stack these cartons 2 deep, what would be the L X W of floor space needed?

Depends on how you arrange them. There would be a 113 carton footprint. So, you could stack them 11 X 11 (would be 121) and the floor space would be 11 X L by 11 X W

So, 22.4 X 11 = 246.4Inches = ~20Ft
and 18.5 X 11 = 203.4 Inches = ~16Ft

So, an area of ~20 X ~16 Feet would do.

Thanks. I am multitasking right now and this help is appreciated. I hope I have the room. I haven't received the packing list for the mics yet.
 
A 75 carton footprint. About 15x15 feet, stacked 6 feet tall.

75 cartons will cover about 217 square feet, however you want to divvy that up. (Each carton is 1.87 by 1.55 feet.) To come out even, it would have to be 8x10 cartons=15 by 15.5 feet, or 7x11 cartons = 13x17 feet, or 6x13 cartons = 11.3x20 feet.

Then, you could rotate the cartons two other ways to get different configurations. :D

I am trying to get things together with the CSV file. I am on a MAC. Anyone know what I can send Fed Ex and USPS that they can open and manipulate in Excell so they can create the CSV file for my shipping adress book? Randy is having some hard times right now commuting between NC and Georgia. I used Text edit to create a list, and they couldn't use that. Then I made a doc. file on a PC and they can't use that either.
 
You can create a CSV (Comma Seperated Values) file directly from Excel. Select "Save As" and you should have it as an option.

If you have a list created in a simple document file, you can import that into excel and create a CSV file...or you can insert a bunch of commas in to your document file.....

Here would be an example of a CSV file

I'm assuming you don't have Office.... Do you have Numbers? If not, try downloading OpenOffice. You'll need to use the exact fields that FedEx.com produces when you tell it to export a CSV file, so tell it to export your shipping history as a CSV file, open that in OpenOffice or whatever, and then add the addresses to that. Or better yet, write a script that just writes out the comma-separated line with the right data in the right spots.

You may also find that the problem is caused by using the wrong line endings. Being a PC app, the FedEx stuff probably expects CR/LF line endings, while Mac software will either use CR or LF but not both. Try using BBEdit (or BBEdit Lite) to convert the file to have PC line endings and see if that solves the problem....
 
My shipping info is correct. I'm still not asked to pay for shipping yet. Leaving for a 6 week tour this week so i'll try to keep checking in on when we can pay for the shipping.
 
I am getting Excell for MAC today. With Excel, does ALL the information (name, rank, and horsepower) go in one cell? Or is each cell for each bit of info for each order. If everything goes in one cell, it SHOULD be a simple task to simply copy/paste from my list to one cell for each order. Fed Ex requires Excell and if I send them the info in Excell, they will convert and install it in my Fed Ex address book.

While I've not worked with FedEx on this sort of thing, it would seem almost certain that they'd want each item (name, address, city, state, zip, phone) in a separate column. Otherwise there would be no way for them to parse it.

NO!! There should be columns:

First
Last
Address 1
Address 2
City
State
ZIP/Postcode
Country
