I dont really think its appropriate to discuss another cart on these forums. Go ask on their forums if they have one.

1: this cart did what we needed (im hoping and so far happy)
2: If you going to put a link to a download and make it public and promote as lastest build , dam make sure it aint full of bugs or a beta
saying that if yiou installed v1.501 you could not upgrade it to 1511 and even from 1495 all the data bases where different and there
where some well lets say crappy hacks to try to update it .

i dont mind a challenge but for a commercial site that was not good and did not want to go down that path , so i hope CC take a bit of this
and dont go down same track , (presently i love this version) bar the aussie post plugin not working !!!!! we are going live in 48hrs with the shop

3: I think (hope) some of the dev's will get on board soon with v5 , i watch v4 progress and was very happy with it - there are some small hacks
i love to do but happy to wait till there built
4: as it is a commercial shop i think and hope they have better plans than open source
5: it run on our servers
6: Most important it works with Eway payment gate way for Australia, we have to process with credit card PP is not an option
7: I really do like how it works now all set up, had very little issues bar some q's i asked and no one from CC answering them (DB issues )

Lack of Royal Mail Support for UK,
Yet another reason for me not to buy CC5 :-(

[hennaboy]

I received a reply from CC staff today on if there would be a royal mail module built.

The answer was no. If your using a 3rd party module for CC4 then you will need to use a 3rd party module for CC5.

For myself this is a nail in the coffin for V5. Its supposed to be an e-commerce option that you can use in the UK which you cannot as there is no Royal Mail module.

No support for 1st class, 2nd class, Next Day, Recorded, Saturday Next Day, Airsure, International Signed For.

CC5 is NOT a cart you can use out of the box in the UK.

I needed to upgrade to provide a better shopping solution for my customers. As no 3rd party developers are willing to take on a royal mail module as yet, which I expressed to CC staff and they are not willing to develop one then its onwards to another cart solution.

Ive been a CC user since v3 but its time to move on.

Still no support for Royal Mail in the 5.0.7 release way to go in listening to your customers.

The lack of 3rd party mod development shows just how little faith and future can be seen in the cubecart software. I think you just killed your own product line!
