USPS module not working for many countries

[dbrewster]

Ajeh,

thanks for reply!

Yes, I've done the new USPS update for my sandbox and my real store, and am seeing the same behavior. I uninstalled the old ones before overwriting and installing the new ones. I ran a lot of tests. I did a lot of install and uninstalls to try and figure out the behavior. It works fine for UK and Japan, and doesn't work for Switzerland. So I believe our account is working.

Interesting factoid: I had debug mode set on the sandbox, and I did get lots of emails telling me about Swiss customs, but no quote shows in the cart, so no checkout is possible. So it looks like it is communicating with the USPS server.

Also: our Exchange mail server isn't playing nice with these debug emails, it's giving a too-long line message, I had to find them in my server mail error log. Is there a place I can set the -- whatever it's called -- text mode for email -- to something more compatible with our own mail server. I use something called "printable and quotable" instead of UTF8 for the other ZC email.

Try the testing with 0:0 on the Tare and a product with products_weight of .10

Make sure all checkboxes are checked ...

Now see what if anything appears ...

Note: with debug on you will also get the rules on each ...

NOTE: by sandbox I hope you meant your test site and NOT USPS test server ...

That thing is often down or moofy ...

Be sure you are set to Production ...

oooooh... very interesting....


VERY INTERESTING, INDEED!

I followed your suggestions Ajeh (yes of course, I only use Production server, and the sandbox is my personal ZC sandbox... so useful! I learned that from YOU!)


Lo, I set
Shipping Zone
Shp: International

and the shipping fails to display for Switzerland. Works fine for Japan and UK.

AFAIK the USPS really does ship to Switzerland.


I really do *need* to set Shipping Zone for USPS because we only use it for international orders. We ship UPS in the US.

ponder...

OMG.

Switzerland was not in my Admin > Locations/Taxes > Zones Definitions > Shp: International > Details.

And Cyprus wasn't there. That had been another unshippable country.

There must be others that are missing.

gawsh. After all this time.

I have no idea why some countries are missing from my international list, I thought I had added "all countries" some time ago and then just removed US.



but HEY, AT LAST, REASON PREVAILS!
