    Follow up: Still not working however I have turned on email debug for the USPS module. The emails are all blank. What could have happened here? The quotes all worked as I have a sale from last week that shipped out USPS.
    Any ideas why the emails would come in blank? The shipping estimator page takes about a minute and twenty seconds to display anything and then it come up with only my Flat Rate option.

    No, after viewig a few other Zen cart sites from the showcase I noticed that USPS and UPS was working. I contacted my hosting company and after a bit of troubleshooting they found a faulty DNS server that was causing the error.

    One thing of note here is that the debug emails now have content. I needed "something"in the email when it was not working....not now. LOL...any ideasy why now there is content in the USPS debug emails?

    If "nothing" came back from USPS (due to DNS problems or otherwise) then you saw in the email exactly what Zen Cart got ... nothing.

    Did you make the same mistake I did?

    Not uninstalling/reinstalling USPS within Zen Cart?
