I think I am just being paranoid that perhaps I don't have the most up to date one...but could you confirm?

[woodlandsprite]

Just did a file compare with the documents I have currently live on site.
There do not appear to be any differences.
I think the most recent updated version is being downloaded when selecting "Download Latest" from
http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292

The version that is currently downloading is still the old Version: v15 RateV3 B

[Ajeh]

I am not sure why the old version was downloading but I have reloaded the USPS January 27, 2013 shipping module ...

The file name is:
USPS v15 Ratev3 2013_0127.zip

http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292

[woodlandsprite]

Thanks for the quick reload!
The correct updated file is now downloading.
Appreciate the help!

[Ajeh]

Not a problem ... thanks for reporting that ...

International shipping not working for me in version 1.3.9h I have first class international checked but the only option in shipping calculator for international is priority mail...please help!

Do a search in your Zen Cart Admin with the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... in the bottom input box for:
usps.php

and select Catalog ... then click SEARCH ...

what is the version id that comes up on the files?

If you go to the Modules ... Shipping ... and click on the USPS module, what do you see in the right panel?
