USPS International Shipping Rates too High

[lavs]

I'm using version 1.3.8, and it's been working fine until a few days ago, when the USPS international rate quit working properly. I have my shipping module (intl) set to provide rates for priority and 1st class postage, but only priority rate comes up @ $20.00. The tare weights are correct and the domestic shipping works fine. Help!

Hope they're not doing their server switch thing again. Copy your settings, then try removing and reinstalling USPS.

[lavs]

did that, but still not fixed.

What weight are you testing and what are the Ship From and Ship To?

[lavs]

I've tried several weights, both under and over 1 lb. And I've tried several ship to's: my ship from is United States, ship to Canada and United Kingdom. Both only gave priority rate of $20.00+; the domestic shipping works just fine and gives a variety of options, all of which are correct.

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

The Tare, by default, is adding to the weight ...

To not use the Tare, use the settings: 0:0

[lavs]

both Tare weights are set to 10:0

[Ajeh]

10:0 means ... add an additional 10% of the existing weight to the Order ...

And the other questions I asked?

[lavs]

The Tare weights are fine for my shipping (or at least they've been fine up to now). Here are my other settings:
