    Default UPS: Unable to get quote

    I have UPS installed as my only shipping method on my web page. When I go in to test the shipping to see if it works, it will not give a quote from UPS and states: (We are unable to obtain a rate quote for UPS shipping. Please contact the store if no other alternative is shown.)
    It will not allow me to go any further as there is no way for it to charge the customer with out obtaining the proper quote.

    Why would this be? I have the module installed and have an account with UPS. What can I do?

    Have you checked the settings under configuration / shipping ?

    we had that problem on a client site and it was needing a max weight of 150 in order to work.

    hope that helps !

    Setting the max weight to 150 did not solve this problem for me...any more suggestions?

    What error message are you getting?

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

    What happens if you uninstall and reinstall and configure this Shipping Module?

    Default Re: UPS: Unable to get quote

    I have the same problem with both modules. Followed all suggestions with no luck.

    The UPS Error message "We are unable to obtain a rate quote for UPS shipping.
    Please contact the store if no other alternative is shown."

    The USPS Error Message "-2147219080 - Missing value for Country."

    Tried reinstalling with no luck.

    Shipping from 91731

    Shipping to 91731

    Weight is 22LBS

    Maximum weight will ship is set to 150LBS


    Is there anything I need to set in the usps.php file?
