USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

After all these years (!), this thread will now consolidate the support-thread for the USPS shipping module, downloadable from the Zen Cart plugins: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292.

I've gathered a bunch of disparate threads previously posted, in an attempt to keep everything 'together':

Version 2020-09-24 K11 is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292

Note that this version is not compatible with Zen Cart versions prior to 1.5.2 and is not supported for Zen Cart versions prior to 1.5.4.

The following changes were made:

- Restructuring to prevent PHP notices and warnings.
- Re-factored to use now-current code styling.
- Includes modifications to use stripos/strpos instead of preg_match for 'simple' string-in-string checks.
- Use foreach() instead of deprecated each()
- Use secure (https: //secure.shippingapis.com/ShippingAPI.dll) endpoint for API requests; unsecure endpoint being retired.
- Simplifies debug handling, 'Screen' and 'Email' no longer supported.
- Debug filename changed to enable sort-by-name to mimic sort-by-date on the files.
- Restores the USPS icon to this shipping-method's distribution zip-file.
- Correct missing constant warning (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_REGULATIONS)
- That 'soft' configuration setting is now available in the usps.php language file.
- Additional, previously undefined language constants added in support of the display.
- 'Return Receipt for Merchandise [107]' retired and USPS will return an error if requested.
- Country name changes:
- Country ('MK') changed from 'Macedonia, Republic of' to 'North Macedonia, Republic of'.
- Country ('SZ') changed from 'Swaziland' to 'Eswatini'.
- Country ('SS') added (South Sudan); note that the country is not currently registered in the countries table.
- Add 'soft' configuration settings, present in the module's language file (refer to that file for additional information):
- MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_SHIPPING_CUTOFF ... the shipping cut-off time, used to determine the delivery date.
- MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_GROUNDONLY ... identifies whether the database field 'products::products_groundonly' should be interrogated.
- MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_FRAGILE ... identifies whether the database field 'products::products_fragile' should be interrogated.
- Remove fallback 'plugin_check_for_updates' function. It's now expected to be present as part of the base Zen Cart distribution (zc152+).
- Auto-disable on the storefront if no shipping services have been selected or if the store's country-of-origin isn't the US (country code 223).

Thanks lat9 for the refresh and xoxo to Ajeh for all her efforts (past, present, and future), too.

Where would the 'if clause' be inserted in this update to create a USPS Minimum Shipping Cost? Example $6 for 1st Class.
USPS_2020_09_24_K11>includes>modules>shipping>usps.php @line 779 ?

Was using this in previous versions. Thanks in advance.


$methods[] = array('id' => $type, 'title' => $this->types[$type], 'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);

to now force the amount ...
Code:

if ($cost < 6.00) { $methods[] = array('id' => $type, 'title' => $this->types[$type], 'cost' => (6.00 + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);} else { $methods[] = array('id' => $type, 'title' => $this->types[$type], 'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);

@webskipper, find the following code fragment, starting at line 724:

Code:

---

            // add handling for shipping method costs for extra services applied
            $cost_original = $cost;
            $cost = ($cost + $handling + $hiddenCost) * $shipping_num_boxes;
            // add handling fee per Box or per Order
            $cost += (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box') ? $usps_handling_fee * $shipping_num_boxes : $usps_handling_fee;

---

and add the highlighted code fragments:

Code:

---

            // add handling for shipping method costs for extra services applied
            $cost_original = $cost;

//-bof-Force minimum cost of $6.00
            if ($cost < 6) {
                $cost = 6;
            }
//-eof-Force minimum cost

            $cost = ($cost + $handling + $hiddenCost) * $shipping_num_boxes;
            // add handling fee per Box or per Order
            $cost += (MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING_METHOD == 'Box') ? $usps_handling_fee * $shipping_num_boxes : $usps_handling_fee;

Worked like magic! Thanks.

Donated a Jackson.

I will periodically see

--> PHP Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /SITE/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 492. // line 487 in an unmodified file

where that line is

$PackageSize = count($uspsQuote['Package']['Service']);

This is the else branch of $this->is_us_shipment.

Is it possible this branch needs the same check as the other branch, where we check count($uspsQuote['Package']); (line 480).

Quite possible!

What international methods and services does the site offer?
Do you have any insight into the ship-to country/zone/postcode used when the warning was issued?

Recently upgraded to 1.5.7 of ZC, but have not been able to import orders to stamps.com since Saturday. Should I have my web person install this module, or is it included in 1.5.7? Trying to figure out why I can't import; I have the updated php file that DrByte wrote, and it was working fine until today.

The USPS shipping module must be installed separately from the 'base' Zen Cart files. Note that the shipping-module has no effect on the ShipStation import; it's only active during a site's checkout.

I'm trying to get this working on Zencart 1.5.5f and keep getting an error on the checkout page that says:

"An error occurred in obtaining USPS shipping quotes.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please try refreshing this page, or contact the store owner."

I've turned on debugging and the log has the following (I've replaced the username):

That's something to do with your site's server settings, as the request to USPS has (as the debug indicates) timed out.

What version of PHP is in use?

When you view the Admin Tools->Server/Version Information, what values are shown for the site's CURL settings?

I'm trying to upgrade my usps shipping module...I am not good at this. I followed the instructions..downloaded, unzipped. It said to upload the two files...I found the usps.php in shipping and languages...deeper..but you know that. Now I have no usps shipping module available in my admin page. Sigh.

Chances are that an error is occurring where it "draws" the usps module details to the screen, and that error is also preventing the right-column and the page-footer from showing too. Is that what you're seeing? If so then the error should be documented in your /logs/ directory as a myDebug-adm-xxxxxxxx.log file every time you try to go to that page. What's in that error log file?

And, double-checking ... while the files have the same name, their contents are different, so ... you uploaded each to their corresponding correct directories, overwriting the prior usps.php files, right?

The current USPS - United States Postal Service module for Zen Cart plugin worked when i was running 1.5.7 Now I am on 1.5.7b and USPS is never an shipping option during the checkout process. No errors are displayed and no error logs created. The only customization is SBA.

What happens if you enable the USPS debug logging? That will let you (and me) know whether the shipping-method is actually requesting quotes from USPS.

There will be USPS_*.log files generated in your site's /logs sub-directory that contain the request/response information.

I should have tried the USPS Debug Log first. It gave me clues with what the problem could be and after trying a couple changes in the shipping module set up I got it working. Thanks for your reply.

Here's where you help others by letting them know what cured the problem. Nothing worse than finding a thread, following it for a few pages and finding "I fixed it.":P

I've recently upgraded to v1.5.7, and thought all was working well. Then I noticed I wasn't receiving any international orders. Maybe because of the pandemic I thought? But no, I created a new user with a known good address in Canada. Tried to place an order, and on the shipping page it says: Shipping Method:
This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order - and it's blank. Nothing to select. I change to a US address, and it works fine. I then upgraded the USPS shipping module, and still the same. I'm only offering flat rate, based on a quantity, since I only sell 1 thing. On domestic I have selected Priority Sm. F/R Box, Priority Md. F/R Box, Priority Lg. F/R Box. For international, I have selected Priority Intl Sm. F/R Box, Priority Intl Md. F/R Box, Priority Intl Lg. F/R Box. All was working prior to upgrading to v1.5.7, and it seems as though domestic is working as it is. Anything in particular I should look at to try to fix this? I have now turned on debug, and see international customers trying to place orders, but are not able to complete them.

Thanks,
Scott

I'm sorry you're having issues with the USPS shipping module. You indicated that you enabled the USPS debug, would you post the contents of one where the international orders have failed? If you do, you could post those contents within the "CODE" tags (the big # in the menu-bar when you're writing your response)?

BTW, which version of 1.5.7 is installed? 1.5.7 (no suffix), 1.5.7a or 1.5.7b?

I'm using 1.5.7 (no suffix)

Debug is as follows:

Code:

(You can turn off this debug email by editing your USPS module settings in the admin area of your store.)

Smoke-making devices for motor vehicles and boats.
Used or secondhand hives or bee supplies.
Vaping liquids containing 66 mg/g or more nicotine by weight. Note: The U.S. Postal Service measures the concentration of nicotine solutions by volume rather than by weight, so it is possible that a product that does not exceed Canada's weight restriction would exceed the Postal Service's volume restriction. Nicotine solutions with a concentration of 16.67 percent (166 mg/ml) or more, when nicotine is the only toxic material in the liquid, are classified as "dangerous goods" (see 136.1) and as such are prohibited in international mail. (See also Observation 1.)
</Prohibitions><Restrictions>Coins; banknotes; currency notes; securities payable to bearer; traveler's checks; gold, silver, platinum, manufactured or not; jewelry; and other valuable articles may be sent only in registered items First-Class Package International Service with Registered Mail service.

Veterinary biological products including serums and vaccines must be accompanied by a permit issued by the Veterinary Director General, Ministry of Agriculture of Canada.</Restrictions><Observations>1. As noted in the Prohibitions section, Canada prohibits certain vaping products. However, vaping products, otherwise known as electronic smoking products (i.e., electronic products for the vaporization and administration of inhaled doses of nicotine including electronic cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, and pipes, as well as cartridges of nicotine solutions and related products), that make health claims are subject to the Canadian Food and Drugs Act (FDA). "Health claims" refers to any statement that represents the product as a drug or device under section 2 of the FDA - for example, a statement that the product will help someone quit smoking. Vaping products that make health claims require authorization under the FDA before being commercially imported, advertised, or sold in Canada. A vaping product that makes health claims is considered a prescription drug, and before importation to Canada, it requires a Drug Establishment License and an assigned corresponding Drug Identification Number (DIN). For more information, visit canada.ca/en/health-canada/topics/licensing-authorizing-manufacturing-drug-health-products.html. Vaping products with no health claims and no drugs other than nicotine are not subject to the FDA.
2. Banknotes valued at $100 or more must be put up in a compact package and securely tied with strong twine before wrapping. The wrapper must be linen or other strong, woven material, linen lined paper, or two thicknesses of strong kraft paper. After wrapping, the package must be again securely tied or stitched and sealed at the points of closing.
3. The name of the Canadian province in which the office of destination is located must appear as part of the address.

(a) Specifically where goods or services may be obtained in Canada, or
(b) Specific items or conditions relating to the sale or provision of goods or services in Canada.
All alcoholic beverages including wines, etc.
An issue of a publication that contains an advertisement primarily directed to a Canadian market is a prohibited import if that advertisement does not appear in identical form in all editions of the issue distributed in the country of origin.
Articles so marked as to create the false impression that they were made in Canada, Great Britain or any other British country.
Commercial tags of metal.
Firearms, except as follows: Firearms may be mailed to Canada if the importer has the required documentation and if the firearms meet the requirements in Publication 52, subchapter 43 and part 632.

Smoke-making devices for motor vehicles and boats.
Used or secondhand hives or bee supplies.
Vaping liquids containing 66 mg/g or more nicotine by weight. Note: The U.S. Postal Service measures the concentration of nicotine solutions by volume rather than by weight, so it is possible that a product that does not exceed Canada's weight restriction would exceed the Postal Service's volume restriction. Nicotine solutions with a concentration of 16.67 percent (166 mg/ml) or more, when nicotine is the only toxic material in the liquid, are classified as "dangerous goods" (see 136.1) and as such are prohibited in international mail. (See also Observation 1.)

            [Restrictions] => Coins; banknotes; currency notes; securities payable to bearer; traveler's checks; gold, silver, platinum, manufactured or not; jewelry; and other valuable articles may be sent only in registered items First-Class Package International Service with Registered Mail service.
Exceptions:
Coins sent to or from collectors or dealers may be mailed in ordinary (uninsured) parcels.

3. meat products intended for personal consumption when they enter Canada in the possession of the importer.
Pet food that contains biologically appropriate raw food or bones and raw food - such as heat-processed, shelf-stable pet foods, treats, and compound chews - must be accompanied by an import permit from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and a zoo sanitary certificate from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinarian Services. Attach a copy of both documents to the outside of the mailpiece for review by the Canada Border Service Agency.
Precious stones, set or not set; all items used as dress ornaments and coming under the term "jewelry" including articles of gold or other precious metal for personal use such as cigarette holders, cases, powder cases, card cases, opera glasses, fountain pens, watches, etc., are permitted in insured parcels provided the articles have value not over $5 U.S. A parcel containing a number of such articles valued at $5 or less may be insured for the total value of the contents up to a maximum of $200.
Veterinary biological products including serums and vaccines must be accompanied by a permit issued by the Veterinary Director General, Ministry of Agriculture of Canada.
            [Observations] => 1. As noted in the Prohibitions section, Canada prohibits certain vaping products. However, vaping products, otherwise known as electronic smoking products (i.e., electronic products for the vaporization and administration of inhaled doses of nicotine including electronic cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, and pipes, as well as cartridges of nicotine solutions and related products), that make health claims are subject to the Canadian Food and Drugs Act (FDA). "Health claims" refers to any statement that represents the product as a drug or device under section 2 of the FDA - for example, a statement that the product will help someone quit smoking. Vaping products that make health claims require authorization under the FDA before being commercially imported, advertised, or sold in Canada. A vaping product that makes health claims is considered a prescription drug, and before importation to Canada, it requires a Drug Establishment License and an assigned corresponding Drug Identification Number (DIN). For more information, visit canada.ca/en/health-canada/topics/licensing-authorizing-manufacturing-drug-health-products.html. Vaping products with no health claims and no drugs other than nicotine are not subject to the FDA.
2. Banknotes valued at $100 or more must be put up in a compact package and securely tied with strong twine before wrapping. The wrapper must be linen or other strong, woven material, linen lined paper, or two thicknesses of strong kraft paper. After wrapping, the package must be again securely tied or stitched and sealed at the points of closing.
3. The name of the Canadian province in which the office of destination is located must appear as part of the address.
4. The following must not be accepted for insurance:
Bees, postage stamps (canceled and uncanceled) and albums in which they are mounted, and parcels addressed to CFPOs.

6. A letter fully prepaid and bearing the same address as that of a parcel may be tied or otherwise securely attached to the outside of the parcel. Stamps to cover postage on the parcel must be affixed to the wrapper of the parcel. Stamps to pay postage on the letter must be affixed to the envelope thereof.
7. Certain types of merchandise must be marked to show country of origin in the manner prescribed by the Canadian customs regulations.
8. Goods valued under 20 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt. Goods over 20 Canadian dollars will be subject to the applicable duties and excise taxes. Gift shipments received by mail that are valued under 60 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt.
9.

I'm not sure if this is a 1.5.7 (unsuffixed) anomaly since international shipments are working fine on my needlework site that's running zc157a. Do you have any zone-restriction associated with the USPS shipping module?

I think I see the issue. That quote that you posted was for a 43 pound shipment, but the maximum weight (the default, anyway) for the International F/R boxes is 4, 20 or 20 pounds for the F/R small/medium/large boxes, respectively

Each item weighs 0.5 lb in the product admin. I went back and added just the 1 item to the cart weighing 0.5 and tried to check-out and got the same error. This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order. Here's another debug (split into two posts) showing Cart Weight: 0.5 Total Quote Weight: 3.5 Pounds: 3 Ounces: 8 (Not sure where it gets the rest of the weight from)

(a) Specifically where goods or services may be obtained in Canada, or
(b) Specific items or conditions relating to the sale or provision of goods or services in Canada.
All alcoholic beverages including wines, etc.
An issue of a publication that contains an advertisement primarily directed to a Canadian market is a prohibited import if that advertisement does not appear in identical form in all editions of the issue distributed in the country of origin.
Articles so marked as to create the false impression that they were made in Canada, Great Britain or any other British country.
Commercial tags of metal.
Firearms, except as follows: Firearms may be mailed to Canada if the importer has the required documentation and if the firearms meet the requirements in Publication 52, subchapter 43 and part 632. Before mailing, customers must visit cbsa-asfc.gc.ca/import/iefw-iefa-eng.html to review Canadian import requirements.

Smoke-making devices for motor vehicles and boats.
Used or secondhand hives or bee supplies.
Vaping liquids containing 66 mg/g or more nicotine by weight. Note: The U.S. Postal Service measures the concentration of nicotine solutions by volume rather than by weight, so it is possible that a product that does not exceed Canada's weight restriction would exceed the Postal Service's volume restriction. Nicotine solutions with a concentration of 16.67 percent (166 mg/ml) or more, when nicotine is the only toxic material in the liquid, are classified as "dangerous goods" (see 136.1) and as such are prohibited in international mail. (See also Observation 1.)

            [Restrictions] => Coins; banknotes; currency notes; securities payable to bearer; traveler's checks; gold, silver, platinum, manufactured or not; jewelry; and other valuable articles may be sent only in registered items First-Class Package International Service with Registered Mail service.
Exceptions:
Coins sent to or from collectors or dealers may be mailed in ordinary (uninsured) parcels.
Drugs and medicines must comply with Canadian law.

3. meat products intended for personal consumption when they enter Canada in the possession of the importer.
Pet food that contains biologically appropriate raw food or bones and raw food - such as heat-processed, shelf-stable pet foods, treats, and compound chews - must be accompanied by an import permit from the Canadian Food Inspection Agency and a zoo sanitary certificate from the United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service (APHIS) Veterinarian Services. Attach a copy of both documents to the outside of the mailpiece for review by the Canada Border Service Agency.
Precious stones, set or not set; all items used as dress ornaments and coming under the term "jewelry" including articles of gold or other precious metal for personal use such as cigarette holders, cases, powder cases, card cases, opera glasses, fountain pens, watches, etc., are permitted in insured parcels provided the articles have value not over $5 U.S. A parcel containing a number of such articles valued at $5 or less may be insured for the total value of the contents up to a maximum of $200.
Veterinary biological products including serums and vaccines must be accompanied by a permit issued by the Veterinary Director General, Ministry of Agriculture of Canada.
            [Observations] => 1. As noted in the Prohibitions section, Canada prohibits certain vaping products. However, vaping products, otherwise known as electronic smoking products (i.e., electronic products for the vaporization and administration of inhaled doses of nicotine including electronic cigarettes, cigars, cigarillos, and pipes, as well as cartridges of nicotine solutions and related products), that make health claims are subject to the Canadian Food and Drugs Act (FDA). "Health claims" refers to any statement that represents the product as a drug or device under section 2 of the FDA - for example, a statement that the product will help someone quit smoking. Vaping products that make health claims require authorization under the FDA before being commercially imported, advertised, or sold in Canada. A vaping product that makes health claims is considered a prescription drug, and before importation to Canada, it requires a Drug Establishment License and an assigned corresponding Drug Identification Number (DIN). For more information, visit canada.ca/en/health-canada/topics/licensing-authorizing-manufacturing-drug-health-products.html. Vaping products with no health claims and no drugs other than nicotine are not subject to the FDA.
2. Banknotes valued at $100 or more must be put up in a compact package and securely tied with strong twine before wrapping. The wrapper must be linen or other strong, woven material, linen lined paper, or two thicknesses of strong kraft paper. After wrapping, the package must be again securely tied or stitched and sealed at the points of closing.
3. The name of the Canadian province in which the office of destination is located must appear as part of the address.
4. The following must not be accepted for insurance:
Bees, postage stamps (canceled and uncanceled) and albums in which they are mounted, and parcels addressed to CFPOs.

6. A letter fully prepaid and bearing the same address as that of a parcel may be tied or otherwise securely attached to the outside of the parcel. Stamps to cover postage on the parcel must be affixed to the wrapper of the parcel. Stamps to pay postage on the letter must be affixed to the envelope thereof.
7. Certain types of merchandise must be marked to show country of origin in the manner prescribed by the Canadian customs regulations.
8. Goods valued under 20 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt. Goods over 20 Canadian dollars will be subject to the applicable duties and excise taxes. Gift shipments received by mail that are valued under 60 Canadian dollars are duty and excise tax exempt.
9. For all casual and commercial goods valued at or under 1,600 Canadian dollars, Canada Post will collect assessed duties, excise taxes, and a handling fee from the addressee.  This handling fee is set by Canada Post (see http://www.canadapost.ca/tools/pg/manual/PGcustoms-e.asp). All commercial mail items over 1,600 Canadian dollars will be held by Canada Customs and Excise until proper invoice and accounting documentation is provided by the addressee.

What are the site's settings for Configuration :: Shipping/Packaging? There are some 'tare' weight additions defined there that will affect the final shipping weight.

Update: Those are shown in the debug:

Maximum: 50 Tare Rates: Small/Medium: 0:3 Large: 10:0

It was set to 0:3, and I changed to 0:0, but no difference.

After I changed that to 0;0, I adjusted some of the weights in the International section of the USPS Shipping Mod:

Priority Sm. F/R Box 0 - 1.2
Priority Md. F/R Box 1.3 - 5
Priority Lg. F/R Box 5 - 70

I can add enough items to the cart to get the Medium Flat Rate shipping option to show, but if I remove just 1 item, then I go back to: This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order.

Not sure I'm understanding what's going on. Each item weighs 0.2. I can fit 6 in a small flat rate box.

I'm checking it out and I don't recommend changing those weights from their default, since those are the maximum weights that USPS accepts. There appears to be something funky going on with the International F/R small box.

... and there is. For whatever reason, USPS is not returning an International Flat Rate Small quote; that's why it's not showing up. For the medium/large boxes quotes, you'll need to take your Tare settings into account when offering USPS international shipping.

I've been using weights similarly for years to solve the same specific need as described without a hiccup. One possibility could be a total weight of 1.25 pounds which is not inclusive in any options (or an invisible rounding error just going over 1.2 pounds). I use the 2nd decimal weight to prevent creating that weight window. 0-1.50, 1.51-3.00, 3.01-7.00, etc

Could another possibility be a 'slight change' in the nomenclature used by the USPS in their Jan 24 update? They were notorious for making a single letter or space change a few years ago.

Unlike some of the other shipping services, USPS returns all available shipping methods for a given weight and destination. The logs that I've reviewed have not returned any Small Flat Rate Box quotes.

If you change the dimensions for the International Small Flat Rate box to the actual dimensions of a Small Flat Rate box, the SM FR quotes will be shown.

8.625 x 1.625 x 5.375

I think this has been an issue in the past and the fix was to use actual dimensions. A few minutes ago, I changed the dimensions in my setup to 9.5 x 1 x 5.5 and international sm fr quotes disappeared from the displayed choices. Actually, International First Class also disappeared.

Changed back to actual sm fr size. 1st class and sm fr quotes reappeared. FWIW: I am still using USPS Version Date 2017-09-16

Using these dimensions, an 0-1096 box is still allowed to be used as an alternative packaging to sm fr International ONLY

Rick, are you referencing the Domestic and International Minimum Length x Height x Width settings?

Cindy,

Yes, I am. Domestic already shows the actual dimensions of a SMFR box in the min settings.

Those default international dimensions have been incorrect for a very, very long time. I've validated that changing the International Minimum Dimensions to match the Domestic Minimum Dimensions does, in fact, result in an International F/R Small Box to be quoted.

Thanks a bunch for the information and the correction! I'll get a GitHub issue created for tracking and get those default dimensions corrected.

@RixStix

:clap::bigups:

You don't know how hard it was to force those brain cells to trigger from a session with Linda (ajeh) years ago and once changed in my setup, the settings tend to never be looked at again.

I think at that time, the USPS API actually had the 9.5x1.0x5.5 inch dimensions in the docs.

I am new to Zencart, and working with installing the USPS mode, I think I got it install right.

Any help would be appreciated.

Is that the current (2020-09-24 K11) version of USPS? Which version of Zen Cart is in use?

It would also help if you could post a screenshot of the current settings (obfuscating your USPS ID).

Yes current version k11 and 1.5.7 of zencart

Turn the USPS debug-mode on and retry the shipping request. It will be a large file. I'll send you my direct email address via PM (Private Message); send that debug file to me.

ok I missed a step I see, but still having problems. It seems I didn't go far enough in check out. But when I get to that point where I select the rate. Under the USPS mod I get 80040B1A - Authorization failure. Perhaps username and/or password is incorrect, So I double check the userID and is right. But there is no space for password. I thought in the latest version of the mod you didn't need a password.

From this posting by Ajeh back in 2014: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....n-failure-quot

Call USPS and have them enable your code for the Production Server ... they are open until 11:00pm EST if I am not mistaken ...

Did that; and it was switched, then this happens.

Using zen cart v1.5.7C, USPS 2020-09-24 K11. I know this is an old problem but this new module has different code. Problem: Always shows Media Mail option even when not in Media Category (5). Where do I place and what do I place to get only Media Category to show Media Mail in this new module???. Any mixture of non media should not show media mail option. Thanks.

I don't understand the problem statement.

What is the "Media Category (5)"? Did you have this working on a previous USPS version? If so, could you point me to a thread where Ajeh identified how to do it?

If I know "how you did it before", I can point you to "how to do it again".

I have never got it working. in previous edition v154 and beyond, we did flat rate. I would like to get this working. I read the other versions post but it does not work for v157c with K11. If someone got it to work in previous versions of USPS maybe they can let you know. The code I read before used a master category number for Media (mine is Master_id = 5) for loop but that did not work on my K11.

So, we installed the new patch in order to switch the URL's to secrure as directed. Using ZC 1.5.7a and the 2020-09-24 K11 build from USPS. Am I missing a setting somewhere? First Class does not show up as an option even on the lightest shipments, and I'm losing orders based on only priority mail and express mail showing up. I've gone back and checked the USPS module, and really didn't change anything except the handling fee. I don't offer flat rate for anything, so the only options my customers have are First Class Package Service, Priority Mail, Express Mail, First Class International Package, Priority Mail International, and Express Mail International. Here are my settings in the USPS module:

Never mind. It only had the first class - retail option selected; once I checked the first class - comm option, they started showing up again.

so......I have an item that is bulky...like 30" x 24" x 24"......around 30 pounds......BUT zencart chooses a large flat rate USPS box.......my item would never fit in a USPS LFR box!
how do I fix this problem?

The USPS shipping module works on weights alone, so that 30-pound item will (from a weight standpoing) 'fit' in the large flat-rate box, which is limited to 70 pounds.

You could change the max weight of a LFRbox from 70 down to something more realistic.

In our case & based upon the products we sell, we limit SMfr boxes to a total zencart weight of 1.5 pounds
Regional A boxes 1.51 to 3.00 pounds
MEDfr from 3.01-7 pounds

Then juggle database weights of products to make them fit to the boxes desired. Not perfect but works for us.

i saw something in this forum about the Unsecure HTTP Endpoint Retirement, and there being a patch for that. I can't find it now, but when I got the USPS notice, I just searched the files for all the places where http://production.shippingapis dot com was mentioned, and changed them to https. Is anything needed besides that? I have the 2017 version of the file, if that makes any difference.

I've just submitted USPS version 2021-05-05 K11a for the Zen Cart moderators' review and will post back here when it's available for download.

This release contains changes associated with the following GitHub issues:

#15: Correcting minimum International dimensions so that International Small F/R Box can be quoted.
#16: Add notification to enable site-specific customizations for configured shipping methods.

Now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292

Working on a "update" to 1.5.7c from a older version, and I can't get this module working properly.

All files in store are 1.5.7c, and a clean install of the USPS module was done.

Currently I am not getting any XML data returned...

This is happening on both the test and production servers.

The store files are in a test folder on the site currently so they are not "public", I am wondering if the directory of the store is making a difference? or if it could be something else?

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated

@mikestaps, that log implies that you haven't 'ticked' any of the checkboxes to identify which USPS shipping methods you want to use.

Screen shot of selected methods...

Attachment 19567

I just uninstalled the module, re-installed, input settings and no change.

Same Debug results and shipping method of:

We are unable to find a USPS shipping quote suitable for your mailing address and the shipping methods we typically use.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact us for assistance.
(Please check that your Zip Code is entered correctly.)

Could you include that RAW XML FROM USPS section of the log?

There is nothing there to include... I just got off the phone with USPS tech support and started a ticket on this as well. Figured a two prong attack was the best idea.

Not pertinent to USPS, but what version of the bootstrap template is in use?

ZCA-Bootstrap-Template-3.1.1

This is a fresh build, with all new files, but updating an old database to retain customer and order history.

For the as-shipped bootstrap template v3.1.1's /includes/templates/bootstrap/common/tpl_header.php, lines 94-114 read as followed, with lines 103 and 105 highlighted:

Code:

---

<?php

$banner_group = 2;
?>

<div class="zca-banner bannerTwo rounded">
<?php

require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_zca_banner_carousel.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common'). '/tpl_zca_banner_carousel.php');
} else {

}

Might I suggest a re-install?

I will do.

USPS wants to see what XML request the site is sending over to diagnose what is happening, how would I obtain that???

NVM... It's in the log... I have been staring at this stuff to much today:blush:

Clean install on stock 1.57c and this prevents getting rates...?

This is the same thing I am running into. I'm still waiting to hear back from USPS to see what they had to say about it...

mikestaps have you checked this relative to the CommErr... https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....shipping-error

What special services are enabled? I'm seeing 155 (whatever that is).

twichtoo the CommErr is 0-. I just ran the Curl test and all came back good.

lat9 I have all the special services turned off, and get the same result.

@mikestaps, any debug-logs around the time of that USPS quote? I'm not able to replicate the issue that you (and twitch) are posting.

Nope... I wish there was.

I am running into a PayPal checkout error too, I wouldn't think that could be related as it's the "next" step, but maybe.

I'm getting a "10002 Security error - Security header is not valid". All settings in that module have been quadruple checked.

I'll note that in my use, I've got

Enable USPS First-Class filter for US shipping: True

No change in results when switching the First-Class Filter to True.

Please take a screenshot of the editing of the USPS module settings (obfuscating your API key) and post. I'll attempt to recreate using the settings that you're using.

@mikestaps, I don't get it. I've applied your settings (other than that "non-taxable" tax class) and am receiving quotes.

How is that Non-Taxable tax class defined? Why not just "not" identify a tax group?

Update: Is there any difference if you change the server from 'production' to 'test'?

Lat9 - retail radio, USPS Tracking and display weight are selected. Rest of the switches are the same, values are close to mikestaps.

No change in the test vs production switch on the live site either.

No change from production to testing server wise, I have switched back and forth. Also no change by switching the Tax Class. I ran it using --none--, Taxable, and Non-Taxable.

The Non-taxable tax class is pre-set up. We have always used that for shipping, as it is a service vs. a product.

I'm really wondering if it is something to do with the the USERID on their end?

twitch, is your 1.5.5f still up and running? and USPS still working on it? That would rule out my USERID theory...

Yes USPS is running properly on this server in the 1.55f production site.

I can make this happen on occasion in the 1.57c USPS test site but I haven't had a chance to trace it:

RAW XML FROM USPS:

SimpleXMLElement Object
(
[Number] => 80040B1A
[Description] => Authorization failure. Perhaps username and/or password is incorrect.
[Source] => USPSCOM::DoAuth
)

Twitchtoo Have you made any progress with this?

Unfortunately I have not... I contacted USPS to see if it could be something going on with my account on their end of things, but after several phone calls and emails I am not getting any response from them.

I've installed the new USPS shipping module and I'm getting the error "Nothing has been selected for quotes." I'm dead in the water on a busy weekend until this is fixed. I've looked at all the things you can edit for the module and don't see anything that hasn't been set the same way as it was before, as directed in the installation instructions. What am I doing wrong?

I did track down where the error message is coming from--"Will auto-disable the shipping method if either no services // have been selected or the country-of-origin is not the US." Neither of those conditions is true.

A screenshot of your USPS settings would help. What version of Zen Cart is in use?

Never mind, I realized that none of the boxes for the shipping rates were checked. Problem fixed.

The code I read before used a master category number for Media (mine is Master_id = 5) for loop but that did not work on my K11.

Still have this issue with new K11a on v157c. I put the proper category for books which is shipped Media Parcel Mail in code as instructed. What it is suppose to do is if anything is NOT a book is put in cart then Media Mail option should not be shown, but on my site Media Mail option is always shown. Anyone have a thought on why??? Thanks.

I had a similar situation. Ajeh (Linda) provided me with a starter routine to permit the exclusion of a class or classes of shipping types depending on the shopping cart contents. To my amazement, that starter code is now in the new version of usps.php, and available for anyone to play with.

With whatever editor program you're using, do a search for " // *** Customizations once per display ***"

The lines after that are as follows:

// bof: example to block USPS Priority MailTM Small Flat Rate Box when anything from master_categories_id 12 or 15 are in the cart
// change false to true to use
if (false) {
$chk_cart = 0;
$chk_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','12');
$chk_cart += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id','15');
}
// see below use of $chk_cart
// eof: example to block USPS Priority MailTM Small Flat Rate Box when anything from master_categories_id 12 or 15 are in the cart

This was my initial attempt to keep certain things from being shipped in a small flat rate box, and $master_categories_id shown here was the first two categories that I needed to exclude from small flat rate shipping . I have since expanded on this to exclude a wide variety of shipping types, depending on the category or the product or the quantity being ordered. If you want to try this, simply substitute your category number for books for the '12' shown in the example above. You'll need to comment out the next statement if you don't want your category '15' to be similarly affected. And it would be a good idea to substitute the shipping type you're excluding (Media) in the comments, in place of the 'USPS Priority MailTM Small Flat Rate box' verbage. Otherwise, someone (possibly you) is going to be really confused at some point in the future when you need to edit this section or figure out why something isn't working.

There is one more place where you need to insert a few lines. Search for "$type_rebuilt = $type;"

The first few lines after that should read:

// bof: example to block USPS Priority MailTM Small Flat Rate Box when anything from specific master_categories_id are in the cart
// see above for $chk_cart settings
// change false to true to use WAS FALSE
if (true) {
if ($chk_cart > 0 && $type == 'Priority MailTM Small Flat Rate Box') {
// echo 'USPS $type: ' . $type . ' $chk_cart:' . $chk_cart . ', line 575 <br>';
continue;
}
}
// eof: example to block USPS Priority MailTM Small Flat Rate Box when anything from master_categories_id 12 or 15 are in the cart

You'll need to substitute 'MEDIA' where the line above says 'Priority MailTM Small Flat Rate Box.' And you might want to change the wording of the comments so it's refers to Media Mail rather than the Small Flat Rate Box in the code.

The first section of code checks the category number of the items in the cart. If any of them is in a category that could not be shipped by the specified shipping type, then it increments the variable $chk_cart. The second section of code tests $chk_cart to see whether it is greater than zero AND if the shipping type variable ($type) is exactly equal to the value in the quotes. If so, that shipping type will be excluded from the list of shipping types that the customer can choose from.

If you're comfortable tweaking the code, you can expand on this the same way I did, to check for multiple different product or category numbers, for the quantities of certain items, and for whatever else you need to exclude from certain shipping types. Over the years, I've added enough checks that it's very seldom a customer can specify a shipping type unsuitable for the product(s) in the cart. Every test you add will slow down execution just a little bit, of course, so it you have an extremely varied inventory, this may not work well for you. But it has been ideal for us, with a fairly small number of broad categories.

Thank you Helene. I did modifications as you suggested and it works the reverse that I need. I need only master category 15 (books) to use Media Mail. What I have is category 15 (books) excludes the Media Mail and all other non-books show media mail. So my logic is backwards. I tried changing true and false but does not seem to work. Must have made a logic error.

I see that I phrased something backwards. What you need to do is not substitute your category number for books, but to add all the category numbers except the one for books. Changing true to false will just prevent the code from being executed at all.

For example, this shows two categories excluded from Small Flat Rate box shipping. That was my original requirement. Now I have four categories excluded, plus a couple of product numbers that are in permitted categories but are still not appropriate to ship in a Small Flat Rate box. I also have exclusions in otherwise permissible categories based on the quantity of items ordered (two would be okay in a Small Flat Rate box, three would not be okay, for example).

If you have a very large number of categories, so many that adding a conditional statement for every one of them except books wouldn't be feasible, you might want to look at reorganizing your categories so you have broader ones that include more kinds of products. For example, I had one category that included all the products from a particular vendor. Then he started producing a product that fell more logically into another category I already had set up. Except that it required me to add many more conditional statements to keep that new product from being shipped in certain size boxes, even though everything else in that category could be shipped in those boxes. I eventually moved the new product to the category that included all the others from that vendor, and was able to simplify the shipping code considerably.

If you're using USPS K11a, then including a modified version of the autoloaded observer example (present in the zip-files /extras sub-directory) should disable media-mail unless all products in the cart are from category 15:

Code:

---

            case 'NOTIFY_USPS_UPDATE_OR_DISALLOW_TYPE':
                // -----
                // Disallow "Media Mail" unless all products in the cart have their master_categories_id within category 15.
                //
                if (stripos($p1, 'Media Mail') !== false) {
                    $chk_media = 0;

                    $chk_media += $_SESSION['cart']->in_cart_check('master_categories_id', '15');
                    if ($chk_media == $_SESSION['cart']->count_contents()) {
                        $p2 = false;
                    }
                }
                break;

---

If that books category contains sub-categories, you'll need to add additional lines to check for the presence of each of the sub-categories.

Thanks, I can use that too.
