First Class mail must weigh 13 ounces or less.

I'm using the USPS shipping method and when I add items to my cart that are less than 13 ounces I still get this error message "-2147219434 - First Class mail must weigh 13 ounces or less."

I updated the english.php file to ozs to see if this would help but it didn't.

** define('TEXT_PRODUCT_WEIGHT_UNIT','ozs');

// Shipping
define('TEXT_SHIPPING_WEIGHT','ozs');
define('TEXT_SHIPPING_BOXES', 'Boxes');**

The item in my cart looks like this.
Total Items: 1 Weight: 1ozs Amount: $22.47

Has anyone run into this issue? :huh:

Re: First Class mail must weigh 13 ounces or less.

I forgot to mention that I already installed the usps.php Patch for 3.x. I'm running 1.3.8.

I thought this might do the trick but it's still giving the error.

"You" are saying "1oz" ... the "code" is saying "1lb" ...

Shipping is based on lbs ... you have to either write your own converter or add your weight in as lbs ...

1 ounce = 0.0625 pounds

Ah!!! You are a genius. It works now and I changed my weight back to lbs.

Thank you very much! :flex::flex:

Re: First Class mail must weigh 13 ounces or less.

You are most welcome ... thanks for the update that you were using ounces in the literal sense where the USPS module code was expecting the weight in pounds ... :smile:
