USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

[lat9]

K11h fixed the issue I was having (here: https://www.zen-cart.com/showthread....out-inoperable ), so thank you!

Is it safe to doctor the usps.php file to disable media mail for certain product categories? That was what started my issue last night. I have done this with prior versions of the file but don't want to mess with it if it will break, obviously.

FWIW, there's an example of how to do that via an observer-class script in the /extras sub-directory of the USPS shipping module's zip-file. That way, you don't have to re-apply your changes the next time the shipping module's updated.

2023-02-14 K11h is now available for download: https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292

I thought I'd released this a week ago, but the corrections here are most likely the source of the "Server 500" error posted by @wcbutler.

This version corrects the following GitHub issues:

#32: USPS 'cheapest' quotes aren't selected; quotes need to be public.
#31: K11g won't auto-update from K11f

Thank you so much for posting this, I'll try this rev later today. I've had some orders come through successfully on E and really appreciate this plugin as an answer to my issues with zone rates so this is amazing. Do you have a cup of coffee or tip jar type page I can give you some small donation for your work on this?

The oddities in my log might have been me bouncing between versions. I also had a 2013 version that I had never ripped out as I didn't get it working back then.

Confirming H works for me, thank you for uploading this fix!

Hi @lat9, thanks for your fast updating!

I just tried K11h in my testing site, unfortunately, EMS intl quote doesn't show up. First class intl shows up as normal.

Domestic quote shows up properly (first-class, priority, ems).

zc 1.57d, php 7.4

If they are checked in the USPS settings, then perhaps you have a tare/handling charge somewhere that is taking the item's weight beyond that allowed by the selection.

Check Configuration >> Shipping/Packaging to see what those settings are for Package Tare and Larger Package

Here is an update. I did some tests and I even put my k11e files back to my testing site. EMS intl quote still doesn't showup. Not sure what happens here. My k11e files are working fine in my live site (showing the proper EMS intl quote)

Hi @dbltoe, thanks for your suggestions. I tested the quote by a 0.64lb package, so it should not trigger the max limit. I also checked the page Shipping/Packaging between my test site and live site. They are the same.

One more update. I just completely "destroyed" and rebuilt my testing site then updated usps to the latest k11h. Yes, I can get the EMS intl quote properly.

Not sure what happens here though...

I'm pretty sure (still investigating) that I foobar'd the auto-update when removing the regional-mail settings.

Hi @lat9, thanks for your reply.

One more update. I checked the admin settings after I updated my working k11e to k11h (which EMS intl quote is working fine), EMS intl option is unchecked. But its value is strange. Min is "Priority Mail Express InternationalRM". Max is "0". I set both back to the default (min is 0, max is 66) and I checked EMS intl option. EMS intl quote is missing/disappeared.

Then I unchecked the EMS intl option, set both Min and Max back to the strange values above, the quote shows up.

There's a ALTER TABLE in the check() method that's going to cause problems for Advanced Shipper users. Would suggest removing it and just adding a note in the install instructions for users of 1.5.4 or below to run this step manually.
