You are best customizing the USPS shipping module itself to only display when the weight > 5 ...

Edit the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

and above this code:

    $this->types = array('EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail',
        'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail',
        'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail',
        'PARCEL' => 'Parcel Post',
        'MEDIA' => 'Media Mail',
        'BPM' => 'Bound Printed Material',
        'LIBRARY' => 'Library'
        ); 

add this code to make it read:

    global $shipping_weight;
    if ($shipping_weight > 5) {
        $this->enabled = false;
    }

    $this->types = array('EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail',
        'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail',
        'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail',
        'PARCEL' => 'Parcel Post',
        'MEDIA' => 'Media Mail',
        'BPM' => 'Bound Printed Material',
        'LIBRARY' => 'Library'
        );

NOTE: that code is for anything above 5 lbs will not see the USPS shipping module ...

NOTE: there are no overrides for this file so be sure to save the original and the customized file for future reference ...

Does USPS show at any weight?

Or, does it show all of the time?

You did not explain what "doesn't work" means ...

[ryanb4614]

it shows up all the time as a shipping option

Have you an URL where we can try this?

What are your settings in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging?

USPS.php new:

        $check->MoveNext();
      }

      if ($check_flag == false) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    }

    global $shipping_weight; 
    if ($shipping_weight > 5) { 
        $this->enabled = false; 
    } 

    $this->types = array('EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail', 
        'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail', 
        'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail', 
        'PARCEL' => 'Parcel Post', 
        'MEDIA' => 'Media Mail', 
        'BPM' => 'Bound Printed Material', 
        'LIBRARY' => 'Library' 
        ); 

shipping and packaging config:

Try using this instead:

    global $total_weight;
    if ($total_weight > 5) {
        $this->enabled = false;
    } 

Does that work better for you?
