usps shows yellow status, not working

I have setup my account with usps and received confirmation that I have access to the production server, but it is not working. Just spoke with them and confirmed that the account is active and I have the correct username.

I have setup a Europe Zone so that only Europe can use the USPS option but I fear I have made a mistake.
My zip code is entered and UPS works fine.

Thank you for any help at all . . ..

Re: usps shows yellow status, not working

My USPS module has been yellow for months and works fine -- wish I understood the yellow business and/or zones.

Re: usps shows yellow status, not working

I switched Zone to: NONE
And all became green to me . . . I wanted usps for outside the U.S. only, so I unticked all the U.S. stuff and now it works for Europe/Asia but Shippees in the U.S. cannot see the option. Didn't need to play with zones after-all . . . .

If the zone is "none" what did you untick the U.S. on? I only ship to the U.S. and don't want people outside the U.S. to be able to order, so I'm afraid to change the zone to "none."

Re: usps shows yellow status, not working

Our Goals are different. I want international sales, but UPS is too expensive. I like UPS for my stateside sales because I have regular pickups daily and don't want to shlep stuff to the postoffice anymore than necessary.
If your cart works as is, then I wouldn't change anything.

Our Goals are different.

I understand that, but the general technique should be the same even though the specifics will be different. Wherever you "unticked" the U.S., I'll untick everywhere else and leave the U.S. ticked. I'm just trying to figure out where you did the unticking.

Re: usps shows yellow status, not working

I see.
go to admin/modules/usps
on the right hand side, select 'edit'
scroll down and you will see 'domestic shipping methods' and below that, you will see 'international shipping methods'
simply untick the international stuff and I think that is it. There will be nothing to show them.

Re: usps shows yellow status, not working

I see, thanks. I had accidentally already done that. <g> I thought it had something to do with the zones and was hoping it would give me a cleaner result, I'm afraid international customers will just check a domestic shipping rate.
