    Default USPS International Shipping Rates too High

    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.

    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

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

    And the other questions I asked?
