** i notice that it says "USPS expects you to use pounds as weight measure for your products." so i changed my product weight from 3 (oz) to 0.2.
still nothing has changed.

it also says "You will need to have registered an account with USPS at https://secure.shippingapis.com/registration/ to use this module" i register at usps.com site in "web tools". i received an email with user ID which i used.

any help? ^^

Look in Configuration :: Shipping/Packaging. What settings do you have for
Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight and Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight

I'm betting that they're not set to 0:0 (which adds no weight to the value you've set for the products' weight).

Turn on the USPS debug (to file) and then post (using the 'CODE' tag) the output. Something's (obviously) amiss with your setup, since it's working properly for me.

I've just learned that several USPS services are being discontinued as of January 22, 2023--Regional Rates A and B. Is that going to require any changes to the USPS shipping module? We use Regional Rate A more than anything else, so it's definitely going to have an impact on us and our customers.

Something must have updated on the USPS side. When creating a shipment this morning the module is now reporting "-2147221202 - The element 'RateV4Request' has incomplete content. List of possible elements expected: 'RateClientType, Package'." I get the message with international packages using priority mail. Appears first class and priority domestic mail still functions.

Here is the log file with my user info removed. Everything worked fine a couple of days ago.

Disregaurd my previous posts. Things appear to be working now without changing anything.

Media Mail Parcel query coming back with a 0 rate as of a few days ago. Priority Mail works fine.

Any ideas?
