    Default Where latest UPS shipping module?

    I have a client with an old version of ZenCart who does not want to upgrade. The UPS shipping estimator does appear to give same results as UPS rate charts on UPS website. How can I check how old their shipping module is and where to get the latest UPS shipping module? Or is the mis-estimation due to something else?

    I did a search under "Contributions", but did not find anything.

    Oh, what I meant was they don't want to upgrade "right now". They say it would make more sense to "upgrade when 1.3.8" comes out. But perhaps they can upgrade just the shipping module for the time being.

    There, that sounds a bit better.

    What version are they running now?

    You may be able to take the shipping modules from v1.3.7.1 and use those ...

    Be sure to backup your files first ...

    On older versions you will need to edit the shipping modules, for example, on USPS you need to change the line:
    PHP Code:
    class usps extends base 
    to read:
    PHP Code:
    class usps

    Thanks for the info.

    I'm curious as to how the shipping estimator for UPS works. Does the shipping estimator makes XML API calls to the UPS website to determine the rates at runtime? Or are all the rate tables stored in the ZenCart database/PHP?

    It only appears that the Shipping Estimator works with USPS and the checkout does not ...

    What is really happening is that the Shipping Estimator is displaying the available prices while in the checkout, you see the display alright but the selection cannot work properly because of the unannounced changes that USPS made ...
