USPS - Do I have the latest?

[levined]

Configuring a new Zen Cart install and have a lot of things working. I'm trying to get USPS shipping working and will then configure for international. I've read dozens of threads but not clear if I need to download an update to USPS or should the latest ZEN 1.39h version work? I have USPS enabled with what I think is all the relevant values and pointing at Production (USPS enabled us in prod) but I'm not getting anything back but the Table based shipping.

Thanks!
David

The current January 2, 2011 USPS C is in thread #26:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=171314

Be sure to follow all of the steps to:
1 Save current settings to NotePad

2 REMOVE

3 FTP the new usps.php file to:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

4 Install

5 Re-configure

Thanks for the confirmation. Working fine with the new module.

Might have some follow-up questions once I start to mess with options based on zones but I'll give it a go and check back if I need help.

Hello,

I'm usually late to the party for discovering that my site needs a usps update. I've looked but I cannot find any news on this.

I cannot get any rate quotes for international shipping options.
It was working fine just a few weeks ago, but not now.

I've tried re-installing the usps module but the results are the same.

In the past, this has meant that USPS has updated something on their server, and now requires a slight update with zen-cart.

Or it could just be me.
We have had some server updates lately, but that seemed like an unlikely culprit to me since the domestic quotes work just fine.
Has anyone else noticed the international quotes not working?

Thanks so much.

Jason,

It is working ok for me with the update referenced at the start of this thread, though if it was working a couple of weeks ago I'm sure you already had that update.

Thanks for your input.
I'm still stumped on this.
Looking through my orders, I can confirm that it was working on July 24th. But not now.
Yes I had the latest version. I reinstalled the usps module anyway. No luck there.
Maybe my brain can think of something when I'm asleep...

If you have the USPS from the link I posted in post #2 above, then you should be using the current one ...

What are your settings in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ...

What is your Ship From of the Order that you are testing?

What is your Ship To of the Order that you are testing?

What is the weight of the Order that you are testing?

Hi Ajeh,
I'm honored to have your attention on this one.
Indeed, I have the latest version that you referred to.
I even reinstalled for good measure.

Here are my settings:

Enable USPS Shipping
True

Enter the USPS Web Tools User ID
[my usps user id]

Which server to use
production

Handling Fee
.20

Handling Per Order or Per Box
Order

Tax Class
--none--

Tax Basis
Shipping

Shipping Zone
--none--

Sort Order
0

All Packages are Machinable
False

USPS Options
Display transit time

Domestic Shipping Methods
PRIORITY, FIRST CLASS, PARCEL

International Shipping Methods
Priority Mail International, First Class Mail Int Package

Debug Mode
Off

Ship From: 98340
Ship To: I've tried a few countries: Australia, New Zealand, United Kingdom, Canada.
United States works just fine.
Order weight: 0.41 lbs

An interesting thing came up as I was doing further testing:
This only occurs during checkout, not with the shipping estimator.
When I use an international address, the usps module displays this message:
-2147218052 - The ounces field must be less than 5 digits

With a USA address, everything seems to work just fine.

Thanks for your help.

Not to jump in but I did a quick search on the 5 digit error you now reported - http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showth...ghlight=digits

Have you made ANY changes in the admin tool since it worked?

Hi David,
I appreciate all the help I can get.
Yes, I've tried both ways - with 2 or 3 in that spot.
Same results.
