    As imagined. Thank you Cindy.

    Parse the domestic-services transit time results data obtained from special extra API calls


    Apparently it did once come from the USPS.....has this been eliminated?
    It still does. You need to enable (in the admin's Modules :: Shipping :: USPS) the "Display Transit Time" setting. The transit times are part of the quote response from USPS>

    help question Re: USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

    "Display transit time" is checked.
    Below that is this:
    USPS Domestic Transit Time Calculation Mode
    Select from the following the USPS options.
    note: NEW and OLD will add additional time to quotes. CUSTOM allows your custom shipping days.
    • CUSTOM
    • NEW
    • OLD
    Does "custom" pull from the hard coded transit time in the php file?
    What does "New" and "Old" do?

    I don't know (I inherited this plugin a couple of years ago). I've only used "New" which works.

    I tried "Old" for USPS priority, for west coast, east coast and Texas destination ZIP codes, it always listed "5-days"
    I tried "New", it was always "2-days".

    How does this plug-in know the starting shipping location? Is it pulling it from Menu - Configuration - My Store - Zone? Or is it tied to the "USPS Web Tools User ID"

    It goes off the "Shipping Origin Country", specified in Configuration :: Shipping & Packaging.

    Thanks, I had that set to an older ZIP.

    Are you seeing the constant value for Transit time when set to "New" or "Old"

    This is in the php file:
    PHP Code:
    Options'NEW' = <ShipDate>, 'OLD' extra API calls'CUSTOM' hard-coded

    I'm posting this here cuz it was suggested.
    Zen Cart 1.5.5f
    PHP Version 7.4.28
    http://trvparts.com/catalog/
    Plugins-usps, ups

    USPS has increased their shipping for domestic priority on dimensional (DIM) for things over a certain size . Until now, I pretty much put in the weight and "until now" have been getting accurate shipping price. But now that USPS has changed their rates for certain size packages the module is charging mush less that what price I get through "stamps dot com" when I ship the product. Like I just got a an order for a package that was 1lb-5.4 which was 31x5x1 and my cart charged $13.16 but when I put those numbers in "stamps dot com" it cost me $18.56 to ship it. Just increasing the weight of each item will cause WAY to much to be charged via the cart for the item if I'm sending to Canada. I'm thinking the fix for this is a dimensional thing in the product description. Maybe there is a plug in or a fix for this already. I have looked for this here in the forums but I have not seen it.

    Does anyone know the fix for this???????
    I understand the problem.

    It's one thing if you know that each shipment will be a single box of a given dimension; it's quite another to take a collection of products with dimensions and attempt to determine a box size that will work.

    I know of no currently working plugin that will do dimensional shipping.
