USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

After more digging and testing various methods, I noticed this: https://screenrec.com/share/l0u321YEM7

What's up with Commercial rates?

The problem I'm trying to solve is the USPS Shipping Estimator is returning $11 and this is what Zen Cart displays. But USPS postage is only $7.85

Commercial rates' return requires that the USPS shipping module be configured to provide 'online' vs. 'retail' rates.

I get the same Advantage Ground rate for both online and retail. Priority Mail rates change, but not Advantage Ground.

Do you use a "Shipper Number"? I think, but don't know for certain, but I think that's required for Commercial Rates to be returned.

On the USPS website, I don't think so and don't see one. It's just my personal USPS account I've used for many, many years.

I assume you are not referring the to USPS Web Tools User ID, which is being used in the plugin settings.

I just tried it on my end. I have the same "feature". When I change between online rate and retail rate, Ground advantage shows the same rate, but priority mail shows the different rate.

It looks like there is no "Shipper Number" in this plug-in settings. I can only find "USPS Web Tools User ID" there. I haven't changed USPS API/account side for many years.

Sigh, too many shipping methods changed over the past few weeks; you're right, the "Shipper Number" is a UPS thing.

I am getting an odd error message on the Admin shipping module screen:

ERROR: module not loaded due to missing language file: xxx/store/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/uspsXmlTest.php

USPS is showing during checkout, so I'm not sure if this is an issue or not...

Nothing to do with the USPS module; you've apparently got a module named /includes/modules/shipping/uspsXmlTest.php on the site. Just rename that module to have a .php.test file-extension so it won't attempt to load.

That's telling you a file is missing. Check your installation to be sure that file is in that location.
