max weight for usps?

can i set a maximum weight for USPS? I have items that i would like to offer USPS under 5lbs but anyting above that for the customer not to have to option of USPS during checkout... thanks

You are best customizing the USPS shipping module itself to only display when the weight > 5 ...

Edit the file:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

and above this code:

    $this->types = array('EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail',
        'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail',
        'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail',
        'PARCEL' => 'Parcel Post',
        'MEDIA' => 'Media Mail',
        'BPM' => 'Bound Printed Material',
        'LIBRARY' => 'Library'
        );

add this code to make it read:

    global $shipping_weight;
    if ($shipping_weight > 5) {
        $this->enabled = false;
    }

    $this->types = array('EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail',
        'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail',
        'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail',
        'PARCEL' => 'Parcel Post',
        'MEDIA' => 'Media Mail',
        'BPM' => 'Bound Printed Material',
        'LIBRARY' => 'Library'
        );

NOTE: that code is for anything above 5 lbs will not see the USPS shipping module ...

NOTE: there are no overrides for this file so be sure to save the original and the customized file for future reference ...

sorry for getting back so so late, code didn't seem to work

Does USPS show at any weight?

Or, does it show all of the time?

You did not explain what "doesn't work" means ... :unsure:

it shows up all the time as a shipping option

Have you an URL where we can try this?

What are your settings in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging?

USPS.php new:

        $check->MoveNext();
      }

      if ($check_flag == false) {
        $this->enabled = false;
      }
    }

    global $shipping_weight; 
    if ($shipping_weight > 5) { 
        $this->enabled = false; 
    } 

    $this->types = array('EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail', 
        'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail', 
        'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail', 
        'PARCEL' => 'Parcel Post', 
        'MEDIA' => 'Media Mail', 
        'BPM' => 'Bound Printed Material', 
        'LIBRARY' => 'Library' 
        );  

shipping and packaging config:
Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship 65
Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight 2:0
Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight 5:0
Display Number of Boxes and Weight Status 2
Order Free Shipping 0 Weight Status 0

thanks for your time!

im sorry long day website petland plus .com

Try using this instead:

    global $total_weight;
    if ($total_weight > 5) {
        $this->enabled = false;
    }

Does that work better for you?

Awsome it worked! Thank you for your time!!! :)

Thanks for the update that this was able to work for you ... :smile:
