USPS Shipping Problems

[Tom_Ace]

I put up the 1 product that is 0.11lbs which is 11 ounces right? When you add more per items in cart. It will added up to 0.22lbs, 0.33lbs.......and up.

USPS will calculate 0.16lbs as 1 pound right? Is there anyway i can have it automatic change it to 1 lbs when it have reached 0.16lbs?

The problem i am having is that the USPS price doesn't change when it has go over the weight at 0.16lbs and up.

Example used in domestic shipping, 0.16lbs will be $4.80 shipping. When it go over 0.33lbs it will show the cost as same as $4.80 which it should be $5.20.

And other different problem. When i tried to use the international shipping, It should show 2 shipping methods for customer to choose in shopping cart at estimate shipping as i have enable them. The first class mail international is not showing, Only the priority international one.

USPS priority mail international (showing)
USPS first class mail international (not showing)

Any help would be much appreciated!

Not quite ...

You are mixing decimals up to make up your pounds and ounces ...

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

0.11 does not equal 11ounces ...

11 ounces x 0.0625 = 0.6875 pounds

Thanks! This helps alot with my weight knowledge as i do not have much of that.

The shipping calculate is fixed but the usps first class mail international shipping method is still not showing up in option.

Any idea why?

11 ounces which is 0.6875 then adding the 3lb Tare make it 3.6875 lbs and too heavy as I believe First Class is limited to 13 ounces ...

13 ounces = 0.8125 pounds

Peek in your Shipping/Packaging settings ...

Nope, Both tare has been set 0:0.

USPS first class mail international is limited to 4 pound i think. 64 ounces equal 4 pound right? First class mail ins also limited to maximum length, height, thickness combined of 36 inches small package.

I used australia as testing the shipping.

Just tried the lowest weight at 0.3125lbs (5 ounces) and still doesn't show the first class mail in shipping option. This is frustrating!

And the USPS question of the hour ... you do have the current update to USPS for the May 12, 2008 unannounced changes load and followed "all" of the instructions for this, correct?
