USPS Shipping to use ONLINE price not Post Office price

I am running 1.3.9d and i and trying to change my USPS calculation prices.

I already have a webtools account with USPS and my shipping module works fine with the API. What i need to do is switch my shipping calculations to use the USPS ONLINE shipping prices instead of the Post office Shipping prices. I also have my cart integrated with Stamps.com and their price calculations are spot on for all my online pricing but then my cart wants to only charge the customers the Post Office Price which is a much higher price.

No, let me backup that file and upload this one and see what happens.

OK, i replaced the file and then uninstalled and reinstalled the shipping option in admin and the prices are still showing the same Post Office pricing.

Might need to determine the difference in what USPS table is being used between your 2 estimators

ZenCart is polling USPS directly

Re: USPS Shipping to use ONLINE price not Post Office price

So how exactly would i go about doing that do you know? Doesn't it talk directly to the Production API for the pricing based on zip code?

Re: USPS Shipping to use ONLINE price not Post Office price

I getting these prices straight from USPS.com and it shows me both prices.

http://postcalc.usps.gov/MailServices.aspx?m=6&p=6&o=8&dz=94110&oz=77549&pob=0&MailingDate=2/1/2011&MailingTime=8:00%20AM

Look at the varying price difference for the express and priority mail. This price magnifies drastically with weight increase....obviously
