It appears that the USPS domestic shipping times displayed are hard coded. I had thought the time was populated live by USPS based on the source and destination.
inside the USPS.php files is this:
PHP Code:
* Legacy method:
* Parse the domestic-services transit time results data obtained from special extra API calls
Apparently it did once come from the USPS.....has this been eliminated?
"Display transit time" is checked.
Below that is this:
Does "custom" pull from the hard coded transit time in the php file?Quote:
USPS Domestic Transit Time Calculation Mode
Select from the following the USPS options.
note: NEW and OLD will add additional time to quotes. CUSTOM allows your custom shipping days.
- CUSTOM
- NEW
- OLD
What does "New" and "Old" do?
I don't know (I inherited this plugin a couple of years ago). I've only used "New" which works.Quote:

How does this plug-in know the starting shipping location? Is it pulling it from Menu - Configuration - My Store - Zone? Or is it tied to the "USPS Web Tools User ID"
It goes off the "Shipping Origin Country", specified in Configuration :: Shipping & Packaging.
Thanks, I had that set to an older ZIP.Quote:

This is in the php file:
PHP Code:Options: 'NEW' = <ShipDate>, 'OLD' = extra API calls, 'CUSTOM' = hard-coded

USPS has increased their shipping for domestic priority on dimensional (DIM) for things over a certain size . Until now, I pretty much put in the weight and "until now" have been getting accurate shipping price. But now that USPS has changed their rates for certain size packages the module is charging mush less that what price I get through "stamps dot com" when I ship the product. Like I just got a an order for a package that was 1lb-5.4 which was 31x5x1 and my cart charged $13.16 but when I put those numbers in "stamps dot com" it cost me $18.56 to ship it. Just increasing the weight of each item will cause WAY to much to be charged via the cart for the item if I'm sending to Canada. I'm thinking the fix for this is a dimensional thing in the product description. Maybe there is a plug in or a fix for this already. I have looked for this here in the forums but I have not seen it.
Does anyone know the fix for this???????
I understand the problem.
It's one thing if you know that each shipment will be a single box of a given dimension; it's quite another to take a collection of products with dimensions and attempt to determine a box size that will work.Quote:
