USPS Shipping Module by MarcoB - RateV4, IntlRateV2 - Support Thread

First Class is 13oz and you are testing with 1.05lbs ...

aha ajeh!:clap:

Thanks for the update that all is right in the world ... :cool:

I have 1.3.9 installed and installed the USPS v15 RateV3 and when I save the settings I get this error.

The parameters set in Package Dimensions Config #1 are invalid, please enter valid shipping parameters. Current setting will be overridden with default: 'regular;+'

In the old version of the USPS module, there was a text box for this setting, but in the new version there is no text box. What do I do to fix the error?

The other version for RateV4 made changes to the file:
/admin/modules.php

you might look at that and take out those changes so you do not see that error message ...

I never installed that version. My modules.php is from 6/11/11. It was not changed when I loaded the new mod. In the file I downloaded for the new mod, it had only 2 usps.php files in it.

If you used the USPS shipping that had:

There was a change in that to the:

You might compare that file to a clean one ...

I'm going a little crazy with this module.
My store super heavily modified 1.3.8a (updating to 1.5 but it's going to take a few more months I need to update the shipping module meanwhile)
I've tried everything and I can't get small flat rate box to show on the shipping quotes the way is supposed to.

The issue:
I'm trying to quote shipping for 3 products of the same exact size with a weight of 5 oz each.
Each product measures 3.5" x 2.5" x 1". The three products I know fit perfectly in a small flat rate box.
I'm using the Shipping Quote Options Filtering by volume, and adding a volume of 9 to the product in the weight area as per the instructions on the module
0.31250000009
(0.3125 is the actual weight of the product 0000009 9 cubic inches for the volume of the product rounded up - the actual number is 8.75)

If I add 2 of these products to the cart, small flat rate shows fine along with medium flat rate box, large flat rate box and parcel.
If I add 3 of these products to the cart, small flat rate, large flat rate and medium flat rate won't show.
It makes no absolute sense.

Thanks for the help!!

What happens if you change package dimensions to

Package Dimensions Config
regular;+


and set debug to xml so that you can see the debug messages at the top of the shipping estimator

Same thing.
For 2 products small, medium, large flat rates show fine.
For 3 products small, medium, large flat rates disappear.

This is the message I get with the debug:
weight: +lb, dimensions: regular
Setting dimensions: l=12 w=12 h=12 for Weight: 0.98438

Thanks for looking into it! =o)
