    Default USPS_patch_may14-2007b.zip Trouble with weight

    Hello all,

    I added the patch on my ZC running 1.3.6
    & on the estimates its showing 3.4 lbs for a 1 lb item on all items just about?

    Anyone have these types of issue?

    All help is greatly appreciated.

    Regards,
    Devon

    Sounds like your tare settings are set to add 3lbs automatically.

    Hi Dr. Byte,

    Yes, I just checked and its set to:
    Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight 0% + 1lb

    This is confusing so I don't even know what that means but I can tell you before this switch everything was fine.

    I also have to fix my zc 1.2.6 after I get this under control.
    Ugh!

    Any other suggestions?
    Regards,
    Devon

    I FIXED IT! & I think it might have been the Tare.

    shoot me an email with an address & if you want a sky spy or Baby bat & I'll send it to you the following day if you like.

    I hope the 1.2.6 is just as easy. I do know about the slight code change I will need to make.

    This is what you were asking for correct?

    Okay so you are wanting to add 1 pound on your Tare weight for your boxes, correct?
