    Tested using our most commonly purchased items/quantities both domestic and international.
    Looks good for all combinations thus far.

    TNX for being the USPS guru

    Thanks for the feedback ...

    Do you use any of the Extra Services (Domestic)?

    No, but I can enable some in my sandbox and tinker around later this afternoon. Anyone in particular?

    More or less the all need testing.

    However, many cannot be used in combination with one another.

    USPS is looking into the issue of Return Receipt for Merchandise not being able to be used with the 3 Insurance methods. On the Production server with USPS K6, you can use Return Receipt for Merchandise with any of the Insurance methods. But right now, on the Test Server, if you enable the Insurance with the Return Receipt for Merchandise then no results are returned for Return Receipt for Merchandise.

    The first test would be to try them each 1 by 1 to see if results are obtained.

    I rewrote the shipping log files to include at the bottom the Original shipping costs plus a break down of the selected Extra Services (Domestic) or the Extra Services (International) for clarity on what the rates are comprised of.

    First, quicky checks... gotta go some real work for a few hours. More later.

    Using Production Server
    Short/Long Description option = NICE. Thank you


    onscreen debug: can the first line be wrapped (with edits equivalent to a couple of clicks: not major coding)?

    Insurance adds to total Priority mail rate estimate. No effect on FirstClass (don’t think USPS allows insuring 1st class)

    Priority Mail insurance does not seem to have any effect (checked using order total ~$77, ~$132 & ~$354) No change in rate.


    E-signature conf adds to total

    Signature conf doesn’t add anything

    I expected the e-sig to be some fee but less than hard copy signature.

    The Debug Logs for Screen and Email really are not helpful not maintained as well as the Debug Log ... I am considering removing them at some point and just leave the Debug Logs set to Logs as the only choice ...

    On the Insurance charge, you should find that over $100.00 does show additional charges for all 3 Insurance Methods for the $132 and $354 values.

    Signature Conf has been sent to USPS as it is not returning results. Signature ConfirmationTM Electronic is returning results.

    NOTE: On Special Services, there are different results between Retail and Online. Example: Insurance is not offered on many methods for ONLINE that are available for RETAIL.

    Thanks for providing the feed back!

    Had a DUH moment. Works much better in test instead of production.

    Returning insurance rates that vary as expected.

    Don't feel too dumb ... I test this stuff for hours on end and go blind from time to time ...

    Unfortunately, this Beta release only works on the Test Server until USPS flips the switch ...

    As all ServiceID values are Changed and or New, they cannot work on the Production Server, until USPS updates the Production Server, rumor has it on May 31, 2015.

    Hi Linda, I started testing it late today with the module pointed to the USPS test server. So far nothing major. Some of the rates seem slightly off from what I expected based on the USPS rate info for 5/31. For International First Class it's under by 11 cents (no biggie) but for Priority Mail it's more like a 9.3% increase rather than the 5.5% they said it would increase. I'm still trying to look into it. It was for a flat rate box, so that might be it. It's probably something on my end. Will test more thoroughly tomorrow with different scenarios. - Thanks, Debbie
