USPS International - first class mail disappeared

[andy1234]

Hi All,

The international First Class mail option of USPS is not shown as an available option during checkout anymore. I tried even some very light products (0.4lbs).

Are there any changes in their API/formats?

I'm using zen 1.3.7 (I know, I know, I need to upgrade...).

Is it something related to the old version?

Thanks!

You should try the current USPS shipping module as the on in v1.3.7 is old and out dated ...

Note: there are security issues and bugs associated with v1.3.7 and that the current version is on our home page ... we are already at v1.3.9f ... as of this moment ...

Thank you, Ajeh! it explains the problem....

Should that shipping module work with 1.3.7 as is?

Thanks

You might want to look at the one that comes with v1.3.9f ... but remember to make the change described for old, out dated versions of Zen Cart ...

If the v1.3.9f does not work for, then go with the posted update file for January 4, 2010 ...

NOTE: don't forget to do the

1 Save settings to NotePad

2 REMOVE

3 INSTALL

4 Reconfigure the USPS shipping module

OK, it seems to be working, but I just did a shortcut and simply replaced the old usps.php by the new one.

Now I have a different situation:

1) it shows two options

United States Postal Service (0.42lbs) (Express Mail International (3 - 5 business days))

United States Postal Service (0.42lbs) (Priority Mail International (6 - 10 business days))

but it doesn't show

First-Class Mail Int

for international shipping. With the domestic First-Class Mail everything is OK.

Am I missing something?

Did you do the REMOVE, INSTALL and re-configure?

[andy1234]

No, just replaced the files....

Yes, my fault... Last time I touched zen more than two years ago and just forgot the the tricks. I've been dealing mostly with Joomla since 2008...
