    Default Shipping Weight Issue

    So close, again.

    So, I have set up the USPS shipping module and things are working somewhat. The product I have set up to test with has a weight of .01. However as can be seen from this snippet of the debug log, the weight being sent to USPS is 3.01. Where did the 3 pounds come from? There is only one item in the cart (the test item).

    Regards,
    Ron

    Your Tare rate is adding 3lbs:
    Maximum: 50 Tare Rates: Small/Medium: 0:3 Large: 10:0
    Set those to 0:0 if you do not want the extra weight added ...

    Yes ! Thanks so much. Now I can refine the shipping options and adjust the products with more accurate weights.
