USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

[lat9]

The USPS API has done it again; they've changed the branding for the Priority Mail and Priority Mail Express methods from a trademark (TM) to a registered-trademark (RM), which results in a mismatch when the shipping module attempts to locate methods returned.

An update will be available later today or tomorrow. Thanks, @HeleneWallis, for the notification and your help.

I am happy to buy a cup of coffee to anyone who can provide an update to fix this issue! Customers are unable to checkout!

I've just submitted 2022-07-10 K11b for the Zen Cart moderators' review; I'll post back here when it's available for download.

This version has changes associated with the following GitHub issues:

#17: Enable "Ground" shipping to be forced.
#19: Correct PHP warning when no quote is returned.
#20: Correct USPS branding change that results in no "Priority Mail" or "Priority Mail Express" methods returned.
#21: Automatically update the configuration if updating from '2021-05-05 K11a'.

Early adopters can download from the module's GitHub repository: https://github.com/lat9/usps/release...022_07_10_K11b

Hi @lat9, thanks for your fast update on this plug-in! I just upgraded my site to 2022-07-10 K11b (downloaded from github) and US domestic works good (first-class, priority, EMS). However, Priority Express Intl (International EMS) doesn't show up like before. I have double checked that "Priority Express Intl" is enabled under the settings page.

I can replicate this issue.

Ok I think I found the fix for this bug. I tested it on my site and it worked good. Maybe @lat9 has a better way to improve...

Near line 626, change from

Sigh, the Priority Mail Express International has also changed from a TM to an RM; update forthcoming.

This release corrects the quote-checking for "Priority Mail Express International" methods; see GitHub issue #22.
