This is my first post to the forum,after many days of trying to work this problem out with the post office to no avail. THanks in advance for any assistance.
I have used the USPS shipping module for a couple of years with no problems at all. Then last week, the USPS server seemed to have a total meltdown, affecting both their online services and the function of the shipping module in many zen carts. I checked the forum and saw that many others were having the same problems and decided to let USPS work on it a bit.
Late last week, and again Monday I phoned them to see if they were going to be able to fix their issues, and I was told that the system was working fine, and they then confirmed that my account was active, settings correct, and that the problem had to be with the cart, a random thing with no connection at all with their server problems.. .. hmmmm.
I disagreed and was told to email [email protected] and see if they could help.
I received a response from icustomercare this evening response saying:
Dear USPS Customer,
I have verified your account is active and everything on our side is up and running correctly. I would suggest contacting your 3rd party shopping cart for assistance.
FYI - You may need an update from your shopping cart. We currently are updated to Rate V3 and API Rate will not work anymore if that is still in your code.
Have I missed something completely? What is Rate V3, and if API is no longer available, what is everyone else using???? I have spent hours searching the forum and see nothing about a new shipping module. And I would assume that the version that came with the 1.3.8 upgrade would be the most current version.
I have upgraded to version 1.3.8, uninstalled and reinstalled all shipping and payment modules, several times and am still unable to get the USPS module to work. Upon checkout, instead of a rate quote, the following message displays:
We are unable to find a USPS shipping quote suitable for your mailing address and the shipping methods we typically use.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact us for assistance.
(Please check that your Zip Code is entered correctly.)
I have placed test orders in debug mode and this is the message I receive every time:
<Error>
<Number>80040b1a</Number>
<Description>API Authorization failure. User 089CYNTH7259 is not authorized to use API Rate.</Description>
<Source>UspsCom:oAuth</Source>
</Error>
Any suggestions greatly appreciated.
Happy Holidays
