Someone please help me... USPS

I am running a webstore that currently uses USPS. I have tried everything and there are a few issues that I can not resolve and both are hurting my business extremely. The first is that I can not offer first class shipping overseas. Even when I turn it on the module it doesn't seem to work. I also got this message today from a customer (Who lives in NYC, I havent had any issues in the states until this), which was odd because I haven't had any problems with any sort of regions etc :

Not Available At This Time

Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.
Please contact us for alternate arrangements.

I am pretty new at installing this.

here is my store shopshogun.com

Re: Someone please help me... USPS

without going through all the version, server, etc info questions that come to mind, how's about just removing and reinstalling the USPS shipping module? There have been recent changes to the connection.

Re: Someone please help me... USPS

Now I am getting this from customers:
"Not Available At This Time
Sorry, we are not shipping to your region at this time.

we just launched a huge new item today, and all these errors are hurting us. I have never even set zones for my stuff :censored:

Re: Someone please help me... USPS

If you entered a zone in the new USPS setup, it will only ship to that zone.

I have not, in fact I don't even know how to get into "zones" I just keep getting emails from customers not being able to order, just got one this morning from RI. We are based in CT of course we ship to RI! Thanks for helping me, any ideas?

Re: Someone please help me... USPS

The interesting part is that other orders from those states are coming in.
here is what customers are saying
"Hey,

I was trying to order a couple shirts off your site and it said you weren't
shipping to my region right now (Saratoga Springs, NY) so I don't really
understand why you guys aren't able to ship it to a NY address. Let me know
what's up or what I can do to get these shirts, thanks,

-JD"

and

"Hey, I live in Georgia and I'm trying to order a shirt, but it's telling me
you're not shipping to this region right now. What are my options?"

Re: Someone please help me... USPS

Just made a bogus order from RI and it worked for me with Money Order.

Are these folks using PayPal?

BTW you might want to edit your checkout success.

Yes, they are using PayPal do I have to do something with my settings via their website?

Checkout out success? What should I do with that?

Thank you so much dbltoe, I'd be lost without you.

Re: Someone please help me... USPS

and ....

$6.30 to ship 6 oz Priority?!?!?

Check inside the admin at Modules >> Shipping >> USPS and make sure you have no Zone listed in the Shipping Zone block

Re: Someone please help me... USPS

Which version of PayPal? PayPal Express is the recommended.

First file in the drop-down of Define Pages Editor in the Admin >> Tools is Checkout Success.
