USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

[swguy]

@ChuckPhillips it's easy to change the $300 from a hardcoded number to a value in your Admin's Configuration screens. See

This is super rare but I have seen logs from K11d when $uspsQuote['Package'] is not set on line 539.

--> PHP Warning: count(): Parameter must be an array or an object that implements Countable in /home/CUST/public_html/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php on line 539.

Hi @swguy, I received the exact same warning last week. It might be due to the USPS API glitch?

I changed the nearby line

if ($this->is_us_shipment) {

To the following line

if ($this->is_us_shipment && $uspsQuote['Package']) {

And it seems working without generating new logs.

In the past, I only received warning regarding un-countable $uspsQuote['Package']['Service'] (for intl quote), not un-countable $uspsQuote['Package'] (for US domestic quote).

Certainly could be. Let's sit tight until it starts happening with regularity.

usps 1st class won't show? i am using PHP version 7.4. and usps version is 2022-08-07 K11e.

I selected domestic first class letter, first class package retail, and priority mail, but only priority mail shows.
my product weight unit is oz. i tried 3oz, 9oz,.. etc but first class never show.

i registered and got use ID for the API, but i don't see anywhere to enter anything else. so the user ID (which looks something like 008XPRAV6385) is the only thing i've entered into the settings. i have entered my site URL for registration. I have not contacted USPS for permission like i've read somewhere. i just need to get the shipping cost. so i suppose i don't need to?

i've changed Tare from 0:3 to 10:0 and nothing changed.
i've changed Minimum Length to 0 from the default 8.625, and nothing changed.
i've changed 'Enable USPS First-Class filter' to false, and nothing changed.

this is my site: https://xtrava.us

btw, also if i use flat rate shipping on 1 item, then order with multiple products will all have the same flat rate. how do i change that?

thanks

See post #177 in this support thread for a possible solution, setting the Tare weights to 0:0.

The "Flat rate" shipping is, as you've noted, a flat rate for the entire order. You could use the "Per Item" method to assign a cost of shipping on a per-item basis.

setting Tare to 0:0 makes no difference for me..

What is the weight of the product(s) in question?

A screenshot of the site's current USPS configuration would help, too. Thanks for your patience.
