usps shipping module, IM LOOSING MY F_ING MIND!

[sunchips]

why is there no flipping area to edit the box dimensions. Im getting rate quotes 4 dollars MORE than usps.com rate quote, because I am able to enter the box dimensions for priority mail. any solution guys?

Are you using the latest USPS module??

[sunchips]

yes, I am using the latest one. I installed it last week. Im on zencart 1.5.0.

Well then as you have noted - there is no builtin box dimension capability

[sunchips]

whats the point in the module if the shipping quotes are 4 dollars more expensive, than if I went to usps.com website and type the dimensions in. my customers are going to pay outrageous shipping fees with this module.

Which shipping module do you have installed? If you click on USPS what do you see in the right panel?

What is the Ship From?

What is the Ship To?

I have the usps shipping module, not the usps rateV4 one. ship from zipcode 34212 to zipcode 55448. box size 20"x14"x6" LxWxH, 2 pounds weight. someone was talking about applying the upsxml code into the php file to get dimension sizes, but im not sure exactly how to do that. If I could just get the right estimate it would be great. If I have to edit the php file if you have a solution then Ill do whatever it takes to get the right quote.

For the 2lbs shipped from 34212 shipped to 55448 ...

What rates are you getting in the Zen Cart USPS shipping module?

What rates are you getting on USPS.com?

[sunchips]

usps.com is 9.50, or online if I print it out it will be 8.19. usps module is quoting me $24.80.

I cannot reproduce that ...

Could you go to your Zen Cart Admin and the Modules ... Shipping ... and click on USPS and post what is in the right panel ...

Then, go to the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... and post the settings in there ...
