Magento Quote – Convert Default Shipping Address into a Quote Address

customerestimatequoteshipping

I'm working on a custom module that will display shipping estimates on the product page. All of my customers are required to sign up and log in (it's a trade-only website), so I have the customer's default shipping address at my disposal (guaranteed). Therefor, I'm going to provide a shipping estimate based on the default shipping address. So far, the only way I've found to convert the customer/address object into a sales_model_quote_address is as follows:

$customerAddressId = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->getCustomer()->getDefaultShipping();
$address = Mage::getModel('customer/address')->load($customerAddressId);
$address_data = array (
        'prefix' => $address->getPrefix(),
        'firstname' => $address->getFirstname(),
        'lastname' => $address->getLastname(),
        'street' => $address->getStreet(),
    'city' => $address->getCity(),
    'region_id' => $address->getRegionId(),
    'region' => $address->getRegion(),
    'postcode' => $address->getPostcode(),
    'country_id' => $address->getCountryId(),
    'telephone' => $address->getTelephone(),
    'email' => $address->getEmail()
);

$quoteShippingAddress = new Mage_Sales_Model_Quote_Address();
$quoteShippingAddress->setData($address_data);

This does work, but it seems a bit hacky/messy. Can anyone suggest a sensible alternative?
Thanks in advance.

I was hunting around for this too, and it looks like the quote/address class has a routine that does what we want, called importCustomerAddress:

$quoteShippingAddress->importCustomerAddress($customer->getDefaultShippingAddress());
$quoteShippingAddress->save();

Magento – Stop Magento from automatically updating Shipping Quote

I had a similar issue, where shipping lookups were done via australia post (using the fontis australia module located here:

https://github.com/fontis/fontis_australia

If you dig a bit further, you'd most likely find that the lookup also happens via checkout, which is unnecessary, as the quote has not changed.

I implemented a fix (which was merged into the fontis module) a while back, which does a simple cache of the lookup in the session, and re-uses that on subsequent requests.

from: https://github.com/fontis/fontis_australia/blob/master/app/code/community/Fontis/Australia/Model/Shipping/Carrier/Australiapost.php

/**
                 * Lucas van Staden @ doghouse media 
                 * Add a drc call cache to session. (valid for 1 hour)
                 * The call to drc is made at least 3-4 times, using the same data (ugh)
                 *  - Add to cart (sometimes * 2)
                 *  - Checkout * 2
                 * 
                 * Create a lookup cache based on FromPostcode->ToPostcode combination, and re-use cached data
                 * The end result will kill lookups in checkout process, as it was actually done at cart, which will speed checkout up.
                 */


            $drcCache = Mage::getSingleton('checkout/session')->getDrcCache();
            if(!$drcCache) {
                $drcCache = array();
            } else {
                // wrap it in a try block, s it is used durng checkout.
                // prevents any mistake from stopping checkout as a new lookup will be done.
                try {
                    $time = time();
                    if($this->getConfigFlag('cache') 
                            && array_key_exists($fromPostCode, $drcCache) 
                            && array_key_exists($toPostCode, $drcCache[$fromPostCode])
                            && $time - $drcCache[$fromPostCode][$toPostCode]['timestamp'] < 3600) {
                        if ($this->getConfigFlag('debug')) {
                            Mage::log('Using cached drc lookup for ' . $fromPostCode . '/' . $toPostCode, null, 'fontis_australia.log');
                        }
                        return $drcCache[$fromPostCode][$toPostCode]['result'];
                    }
                } catch (Exception $e) {
                    mage::logException($e);
                }   
            }

You would most likely need to implement something similar (at the cart level) in the provider module you are using. The fix above was to solve the lookups causing checkout to take very long, when the provider was busy.

Magento – Remove shipping method from quote

Try this code:

$shippingAddress->setShippingMethod('');

// Set the payment method
$shippingAddress->setPaymentMethod($paymentMethod);

// Set the payment method
$quote->getPayment()->importData(array('method' => $paymentMethod));

// Collect the prices
$quote->collectTotals()->save();
