USPS and UPS shipping module update

Where can I get the updated modules for USPS and UPS?
I think my prices are outdated.
Thank you!
:blink:

the files are in the latest version of the cart.

Can I download JUST the modules? I saw a usps module on the forum but im dont think that its the new one.
The prices I have in the modules that come with the zen cart I have have old prices.
I need the updated UPS and the USPS modules.
Thx

Might be a good time to upgrade. If you're already at 1.3.8a, you may just need to uninstall and reinstall the module. If you recently upgraded to 1.3.8a, you may have carried over some old settings. Again, uninstall and reinstall.

The shipping module for USPS and the add-on module for Click-n-Ship are two distinctly different things. If you just need to know how much postage to charge the customer, it's built in.

Can someone pls advise if our site will still work without the latest usps update.( Jan 4' 2010 ) We're running 1.38 with integrated usps.
Thank You !:smile:

Your site will work ... but your USPS shipping will not ... :eek:

Get the new file:

Go to Modules ... Shipping and EDIT the USPS shipping module and Save all your current settings to NotePad ...

Load the January 4, 2010 USPS shipping module file to your server and do a REMOVE, INSTALL and EDIT to configure it ...

Linda -- would you please be more specific on what this update is for. I called USPS and they said the price changes are on their side and I would not have to do anything. I only use Priority Mail so if the changes are for some other type of service then this change would not apply to my use.

Thanks,

Larry

USPS is mistaken ...

When they updated the server they also changed the keys to the various services and they old ones do not translate correctly ...

This January 4, 2010 update has the updates and various other updates to the code to allow for better rate quotes ...

If you do not do the REMOVE, INSTALL and re-configure, you will not have all of the configuration_keys and the code will not run properly in many cases ...

It takes two seconds to copy your settings to NotePad, and a minute to 3 minutes to do a REMOVE, INSTALL and then reconfigure ... depending on how fast you can type your user code and check/uncheck the boxes or any other customizations that you might need for your shipping ...

I am using zencart 1.3.7.1 and I did the update as per the instructions (remove, install and update) now when I choose an international address I get:

United States Postal Service -2147218052 - The ounces field must be less than 5 digits

I have no problems with the domestic it works just fine, but since we get a lot of international orders this is a big problem.

What does this mean?

Thanks for your help!

So I fixed this problem by adjusting our
Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight

We did have it set as 10:0 (i.e. a percentage) so I changed it to 0:0.05. (a set amount)

With the percentage it was going to too many decimal points for USPS. Don't know why it wasn't a problem before?? But anyway!!

So hopefully this is enough to cover our packaging I will have to adjust it if it isn't adding enough but at least our international customers can now checkout.

I am not able to reproduce this ...

Could you perhaps tell me the weight of the cart, without the 10:0 tare that you are using and to where the Ship To is ... :unsure:

Try this ...

Change the code from:

    $shipping_ounces = (16 * ($usps_shipping_weight - floor($usps_shipping_weight)));

to read:

    $shipping_ounces = (16 * ($usps_shipping_weight - floor($usps_shipping_weight)));
    $shipping_ounces = zen_round($shipping_ounces, 2);

Do you now get the prices expected with your weight at so many decimals using the 10:0 Tare?

Hello, I am using version 1.3.8a. I have uninstalled my old usps mod, downloaded and reinstalled the new and have now lost ALL options for international shipping. I can select countries in the shipping estimator but no options or shipping rates are listed. Please help!

Check and make sure that you do not have a typo on your account ...

Does the US work for you?

What are your Tare Settings?

What is the weight of the cart?

What is the Ship From and Ship To?

Hi!

US shipping works fine, tare is set to 0:0, not sure what you mean by weight of the cart. Also not sure what you mean by ship from and ship to. I am shipping from the US, but shipping does not work for any international order. Just a note that everything worked fine until the post office made the change and I installed the new mod. Thanks for any help!

You have a shipping address, as in your shipping address, the "Ship From" as in what State and Zip Code?

You are testing the shipping and trying to Ship To an International Address with a Country, City and Zip Code ...

The order you are trying to test has weight to it ... how much does it weigh?

Sorry brain malfunction, I got ya now :wacko:!

Shipping from Massachusetts 02760 to Tessin Switzerland 6963
the weight is 0.312499lbs

I have tried this same item to Greece and other places with the same results.

I assume this update has to be done each time the usps changes their prices ? USPS seems to be changing their prices more often now. Although to our surprise, the PRIORITY Flat Rate Envelope does go down from $ 4.95 to $ 4.90:smile:

USPS seems to have trouble managing anything with more than 3 decimals on the ounces ...

Change the code from:

    $shipping_ounces = (16 * ($usps_shipping_weight - floor($usps_shipping_weight)));

    $shipping_ounces = (16 * ($usps_shipping_weight - floor($usps_shipping_weight)));
    $shipping_ounces = zen_round($shipping_ounces, 2);

Thanks Ajeh! Works perfectly now! :clap: You rock!
