    Default USPS Problem

    In step 1 oof the checkout you select the desired USPS Shipping method. After you click next no matter what shipping method you selected it defaults to express any ideas why?

    As a side note if this helps under Admin > Modules > Shipping
    the colored circle under sort order is yellow not green. What does this mean?

    Thanks

    You can fix this by installing the Nov 2007 USPS update for USPS that were not announced ...

    I would then work on upgrading to the current version of Zen Cart v1.3.8 ...

    The circle is yellow for me also. Zen 1.3.8, www.kauffmansfruitfarm.com/store/

    USPS is installed; the shipping estimator works flawlessly; however, the checkout never shows the USPS options. I also use the Zone Flat Rate mod; it's the only one that shows in checkout. I uninstalled both and reinstalled USPS only, with the May 2008 update, but then the checkout only showed "UPS Flat Rate" with $0.00; still no USPS rates.

    What does the yellow circle mean?

    Usually the yellow is there when:

    1 Not setup right, example: missing the USPS Web Tools User ID

    2 A Zone has been set for the shipping module

    Thanks. I just noticed that the yellow circle is by the Zone Flat Rate mod, not the USPS mod. Sorry. USPS still doesn't show in checkout. Maybe the ZFR is to blame.

    You are missing from your stylesheet the following:
    Code:
    .hiddenField {
    	display: none;
    }
    .visibleField {
    	display: inline;
    }
    Make sure you have the current USPS shipping module installed and that you REMOVE, INSTALL and configure it ...

    If you switch to Classic Template does this allow the shipping to work?

    What is your 5 digit US Zip Code that you have setup?

    Thanks. Sorry, I don't know where to do this edit. Can you help with that?
    I did remove/install/configure as per the link you provided, using the update for 1.3.x. That didn't change anything.
    Am trying the Classic template right now. Zip is 17505.

    When using the Classic Contemporary Green, USPS shipping showed correctly in the Estimator AND showed correctly in checkout, allowing me to choose from various shipping options.
    When I switched back to Candied Apple, the problem was still existing.

    What now?
