Max weight for first class mail international

[riosouza]

Hi there,
I have the First Class Mail available; I would like to limit the weight for this method to 1lb (16oz) for International First Class Mail only.
The reason is because many international customers select the lowest shipping method, not realizing that is not trackable and also the slowest method.
It generates lots of e-mails with complaints and unhappy customers.
Any help with this change will be very much appreciated.

post #5, I believe it is, shows a way to alter the First Class ...

You could adapt that for what you are wanting ...

Hi Linda,
I appreciate the input.
It worked beautifully with First Class Mail, I changed to First Class International package, but it does not work, see what I did.

$methods = array();
$size = sizeof($uspsQuote);
for ($i=0; $i<$size; $i++) {
list($type, $cost) = each($uspsQuote[$i]);

// BOF: UPS USPS
$title = ((isset($this->types[$type])) ? $this->types[$type] : $type);
if(in_array('Display transit time', explode(', ', MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_OPTIONS))) $title .= $transittime[$type];
/*
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => ((isset($this->types[$type])) ? $this->types[$type] : $type),
'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);
*/
if ($type == 'First Class Mail Int Package' && $shipping_weight >= .6249) {
// skip First Class Mail Int Package on >= .6249
} else {
$methods[] = array('id' => $type,
'title' => $title,
'cost' => ($cost + MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_HANDLING) * $shipping_num_boxes);

You have to use the right spelling for what the $type will be:

First-Class Mail International Package

Add this line above your IF so you can see them ...

echo 'USPS type: ' . $type . '<br />';
