USPS January 17, 2016 K8 BETA TEST SERVER ONLY

[RixStix]

Remove, upload, install
Online first class rates now being quoted 13-15.999 ounces.

FYI,
Express FlatRate envelope: wow, increases 14.85 currently quoted Stamps.com account to 20.85 USPS test server.

Question:
Current K7 module only displays lowest Priority mail quote.
K8 displays all.
ie: SmFR, MedFR, RRa and PriorityMail selected in setup.

I don't recall customizing K7 to only show the lowest. I have not compared K7 to K8 to see the differences.

FYI: A switch from Click-N-Ship to Stamps.com via ShipStation will save time and money for your clients for a nominal expense. It also provides access to CPP pricing as well as CBP pricing for some Priority mail classes.

Could you turn on your Debug Logs for both the USPS K7 and K8 modules and try identical quotes on both and attach the Shipping logs for these and post the rates that you see displayed on each one?

EDIT: OOOPS. That was the short circuit. In addition to me looking at the screen and not seeing the obvious.
SORRY, as I scrape the egg off my face....

I thought I found the problem, but the difference in settings did not resolve it.
I thought these Priority settings may have been causing a natural filter, but using them in K8 did not.

SMFR: 0-1.5#
RRAFR: 1.51-3.00#
MEDFR: 3.01-7.00#
Priority: 0-70#

Could you try a Test and switch the TEST site just to Production, no other changes and same order and Zip that log and Attach it?

Initial problem caused due to min/max weights for Priority Mail classes on K8 test site not matching the K7 live site.
Once I matched the min/max weights of the PriorityMail classes, only a single PriorityMail quote is displayed in the K8 test site.
Typo, PriorityMail: 7.01-70 pounds instead of 0-70 pounds

I was blind in seeing there was no problem shown in the screenprints I had attached.


I think I may have made a change before your response, so I have a new Test and Prod log zipped and attached.
I notice a total weight of 0.95 pounds and no first class quote. Product weight 0.85 pounds + tare 0.1 pounds

[Ajeh]

So this means ... all is right in the world now?

[RixStix]

Except the FirstClass quote for 0.95 pounds seems to have disappeared from the USPS-TestServer since earlier.
0.93 pounds gets quote
0.94 pounds does not yield quote

debug looks like 0.95 is seen as 0 pounds 16 ounces? instead of 15.2 ounces
0.94 pounds = 15.04 ounces
0.93 pounds = 14.88 ounces
to me, that seems like 15 ounces is the cutoff instead of 15.9999 ounces?

I do not recall changing things related to FirstClass since the original upload of K8-2 when I did get a quote.

Cart Weight: 0.85
Total Quote Weight: 0.95 Pounds: 0 Ounces: 16

Are you using the USPS K8 from post #33?

AFAIK
server timestamped 8:05 this morning

So is USPS saying that 15.xx is rounded to the next full ounce for quote but the new USPS first class allows 15.99 ounces and their quoting can only handle full ounces?

Version before post #33 would not quote 13-15 ounces

I suspect this is due to rounding based on Tare Rates ... I will be fooling with this tonight ...

From what I am seeing in your logs you have:
Maximum: 50 Tare Rates: Small/Medium: 0:0.1 Large: 10:0
Decimals: 2

A Product with a weight of 0.85 lbs and the Tare Rates of Tare Rates: Small/Medium: 0:0.1 Large: 10:0 that is making the order 16 oz due to rounding of weight 0.95 ... correct?
