UPDATE: USPS January 4, 2010

USPS has updated their code for January 4, 2010

This Zip file is for v1.3.8/v1.3.8a for the RateV3 and new shipping methods

NOTE: You will need to do a REMOVE, INSTALL and Configure for the changes to take effect ...

NOTE: for older versions (prior to 1.3.x), try changing the line:

class usps extends base {

to read:

class usps {

A minor ADDITIONAL change is needed to the January 4, 2010 update that affects International Shipping, when ounces are extended beyond 5 digits.

The change is minor and can be done without the need to reinstall the code by changing the line at 160 from:

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

to now read:

    $shipping_ounces = (16 * ($usps_shipping_weight - floor($usps_shipping_weight)));
    // usps currently cannot handle more than 5 digits on international
    $shipping_ounces = zen_round($shipping_ounces, 3);

This does not affect the regular US shipping quotes only the International shipping quotes.

This should be the last change needed for this file ... I hope ... :lamo:

    $this->intl_types = array(
        'Global Express' => 'Global Express Guaranteed (GXG)',
        'Global Express Non-Doc Rect' => 'Global Express Guaranteed Non-Document Rectangular',
        'Global Express Non-Doc Non-Rect' => 'Global Express Guaranteed Non-Document Non-Rectangular',

        'First Class Mail Int Letter' => 'First-Class Mail International Letter'
        );

and change the line to read:

    $db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) values ('International Shipping Methods', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TYPES_INTL', 'Global Express, Global Express Non-Doc Rect, Global Express Non-Doc Non-Rect, Global Express Envelopes, Express Mail Int, Express Mail Int Flat Rate Env, Priority Mail International, Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Env, Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Small Box, Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Med Box, Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Lrg Box, First Class Mail Int Lrg Env, First Class Mail Int Package, First Class Mail Int Letter', 'Select the international services to be offered:', '6', '15', 'zen_cfg_select_multioption(array(\'Global Express\', \'Global Express Non-Doc Rect\', \'Global Express Non-Doc Non-Rect\', \'Global Express Envelopes\', \'Express Mail Int\', \'Express Mail Int Flat Rate Env\', \'Priority Mail International\', \'Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Env\', \'Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Small Box\', \'Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Med Box\', \'Priority Mail Int Flat Rate Lrg Box\', \'First Class Mail Int Lrg Env\', \'First Class Mail Int Package\', \'First Class Mail Int Letter\'), ',  now())");

For some people, USPS is not recognizing 5 digits as 5 digits where it should see as 5 digits:
.12345
1.2345
12.345

this is not consistently ...

Until they are using 5 digits as 5 digits, you may need to change the calculation on the ounces from:

    $shipping_ounces = (16 * ($usps_shipping_weight - floor($usps_shipping_weight)));
    // usps currently cannot handle more than 5 digits on international
    $shipping_ounces = zen_round($shipping_ounces, 3);

to read:

    $shipping_ounces = (16 * ($usps_shipping_weight - floor($usps_shipping_weight)));
    // usps currently cannot handle more than 5 digits on international
    $shipping_ounces = zen_round($shipping_ounces, [B]2[/B]);
