USPS price discrepancy and insurance:

Hey Everyone,

I'm new to the forum and Zen Cart. It has been a real learning curve for me especially since I don't know anything about code and self teaching as I go along trying to get my Zen Cart store up. I apologize if there has been a post on my questions all ready and if you will point me in the right way I would be happy to go there. I have looked and didn't find what I was looking for.

I just up loaded Zen Cart about a week ago and it is up to date.

Questions:

  1. In the cart when it is calculating the USPS shipping the Parcel Post is about 2 to 3 dollars higher than what it should be. I checked with USPS and they said they didn't know why there was a difference.

    In Shipping and Packaging I have changed them to:
    Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship 50
    Package Tare Small to Medium - added percentage:weight 0:0
    Larger packages - added packaging percentage:weight 0:0

Do you know what it might be and how I can correct this?

  1. Under shipping in the cart I would like to add optional insurance and have the price adjust with the amount of the order for USPS and UPS.

I saw an add-on for it in Free Software Add Ons , but I don't know is it's what I need or not.

Can anyone help me here?

  1. Also is there and inexpensive person or place I could go to learn more or pay to have it done for me, inexpensive being the keyword?

Thank you,
Omnicool

Re: USPS price discrepancy and insurance:

I figure out what my pricing problem was. the Machinable was set to False and need to be set to True.

All Packages are Machinable
True

Still no help on the other though.
