So i have looking all over the place to find the answer, and can not figure out what to do...... Here is my problem...

ok so I would like to have two shipping options on my site. One First class usps mail for smaller items and the other Priority Mail for larger items. For example - I sale all different types of items small and Big. Range from ounces to pounds. I sell what is call SETS on my site. These normally are shipped in Priority mail Large flat rate boxes.
How do I Set this only to the type of Product? :wacko:

I want ALL SETS that are sold to have Shipping Option to Priority Large Flat Rate Mail. How?????:wacko:

The rest I want First Class mail and if they buy a bunch of stuff Advance to Priority mail, But the Proper Priority mail - Flat rate boxes Small padded Envelope to Small Boxes to large.

I hope I have made it clear on what I would like to do.
if not just ask and i'll fill ya in.:unsure:

Thank you......... Please I need to fix this Soon....... Thanks in advance.

I replaced the default USPS module with this one. This USPS mod will allow you to filter products by weight or by volume as soon as Marco uploads the latest version. I think the latest version may be available in the Support Thread post #36 related to the mod.

I have it setup on 2 sites filtering by volume and in my case, it gives the customer USPS option of First Class, SM flatrate, Med Flatrate, Priority Mail and Regional A. As the customer adds products to the cart, it removes the USPS options that are not large enough to hold the cart total.

Filtering by volume uses digits 6-11 in the product weight to store the product volume in CuIn. It took a while to tweak the product volumes.

International has similar filters except the Regional A & B are not offered but the O-1096L Large Video box ships for the SM flatrate rate.

Thank you for the replay RixStix...

Yeah before I posted this, I did install that mod.

Still can not get it to single out on certain products.

more of what i have tried.

I tried Setting the Tare to

Package Tare Small to Medium - 0:1

Larger packages - 0:20

The only thing this did was Remove the First Class mailing option but left all the Priority mail options...

I only want one option to show up for anything over 10lbs (eg. SETS)
Priority Large Flat Rate Box.

Thank you.

In the USPS setup, only select the FirstClass and LargeFlatRate radio buttons and those will be the only two options shown to customers.

If you want other flatrate options to be offered, then you must set the volumes of each of your products so that those options are removed appropriately.

The mod shows an example of how to enter the volume. Enter the weight/volume (cubic inches) of your SETS to be 600 cubic inches. That will force every flatrate option smaller than LARGE to be removed from the offerings to the customer. The volume of the MED flatrate is 515 cu inches, so anything over that will cause the smaller boxes to be removed as options.

Use this weight and test. If adding one SET does not remove first class, remove one of the zeros from the middle of the weight.

10.000000600

I have not setup the mod using the "Filter by Weight" option, but the instructions are fairly straight forward if you associate the dimensions of the LargeFlatRate box with orders weighing over 10 pounds.

Here's the example of how it works for me. It is very important that you input the weights as indicated in the Mod so that both the weight and volume are there for each product.

If my example is not similar to what you are asking, I'm sorry to have misunderstood and guided you in the wrong direction.

I have product A that weighs 0.1 pound and are 2 cu in
I have product B that weighs 0.1 pound and are 13 cu in

I offer the following USPS shipping choices to my customers

1. First Class Mail
2. SM Flat Rate
3. 0-1096L Large Video box
4. MED flat Rate

• If a customer orders up to 7 Product A, they are given all of the choices.

• If they order 8 Product A, the weight goes over the max for FirstClass, so First Class is no longer an option.

• If a customer orders up to 5 Product B, the order can be shipped in a SM flat rate box.

• If the customer orders 6 Product B, the order will not fit within a SM flatrate box, nor first class, so the Large Video Box and larger are the available choices.

• I have 12.5 cu inches coded as the max volume that I will allow in a FirstClass package, so if a customer orders 1 Product B, it will not fit within my First Class Package, so they have options for everything except first class.

ok so setting it that way seemed to work for larger items....

But when i test a smaller item that is 1 oz it is still trying to do the Large flat rate box..

How do i fix that?

With Tare? I'm confused.:lamo: about the Tare...

About it all LOL:wacko:

ok when i entered the 10.000000600 number you gave me.. it did set it to 10 lbs but when I checked it again it only had the 10 in the weight area.

As for setting the Cu in Where do i do that. Coz when i add it to the weight it dispersers.

this is what i have in my usps area...

ok where do i enter that code? How do you code it?

ok so I removed the Flat Rate Large box... Saw that it was Complicating things.

I now have First Class and Regular Priority mail. this way base on weight I can just choose the Box to send it in.

but now, I'm having the issue on it charging the right amount.

Help????????

It sounds as though you have not completely installed everything. I'm not a coder, so I'm only qualified to repeat what I have been told, tweak settings and say what works for me.

Go to the Support thread given earlier in this thread. The most current version is in post #36. You must also install the SQL update listed in post #23. Without that, you will not be able to enter decimal weights that can be used by the volume filter.

You must remove the USPS module from zencart admin before you ftp the new file over. Then, reinstall from zencart admin.

Once you have that done, then you MUST enter the weight/volume value into each product.

Which filter version do you have selected? NONE, Weight or Volume? That's at the bottom.

Tare is not part of this Mod but will be added separately.

Why remove Large FlatRate box when that is specicially what you are wanting to use?

If First Class is being removed as an option, then the total product weight must be greater than 13 ounces.

ok I reinstalled everything - and I now have the options....

ok So now I have entered all the information you have given me.. Re-added First Class mail and Priority mail...

Entered 0.1 for Small item and 10.000000600 For my sets.

ok when I test shipping on SETS it does not show the Priority large flat rate. it only shows UPS. Ground.

and when I test Smaller items it still only shows UPS ground option.

Do i need to change anything inside the USPS file?

I have selected Volume. Is that Right??????

Thanks again for your help, I look forward to your answer.

I'm testing a smaller item weight 3 oz... First Class is not Showing up. only Priority Small Box and Up... plus UPS ground.
I only want First Class to show and Maybe Small Box..

Thank you :)

ok All is working for Larger items....

But now i'm having an issue with Smaller items. First class is not showing up on small items from 1 oz and higher.
it only gives Priority mail small to large.

Am i putting the Wrong code in the weight area? 0.0625

You had given me the code for 10lbs.. But what is the code for smaller items?
I tried 0.1000000000 and still not showing up first class mail?????

sunshinepro:

more of what i have tried.

I tried Setting the Tare to

Package Tare Small to Medium - 0:1

Larger packages - 0:20

I'm glad that the larger orders are working more like you desire.

If you did not go back and remove the tare weight, it is adding 1 pound to your order weight which puts the order over the 13 ounce maximum FirstClass weight.

You might consider changing the tare Small to Medium - 0:0.1 and that should allow FirstClass to show.

If you look at the bottom of the setup, you will see an example of how to format the weight/volume for all your products. Places 6-11 to the right of the decimal are the volume in tenths cubic inches. Or another way to put it places 6-10 are cubic inches and place 11 is tenth cubic inches

:shocking::frusty::cry::unsure:

Wow I Must Be a Big Dummy.... I can not figure that one out.

Can you give me an example like you did for the 10lbs.

I'm about to give up. :cry::censored::cry: BUT I know i Cant.

I don't understand why the large is working but now not the 1st class.............

All I need is the code for 1 oz. Then I can take it from there I'm sure....

I had set the tare to 0:0.1 and still did not work.

0.0625 for 1 ounce and 0 cubic inches.

In the USPS setup screen, look at the bottom and turn on the XML debug and save.

Add one of your small items to a cart and use the "Estimate shipping" feature. The top of the popup window will show the weight and the cubic inches of the order. Also, the popup will show the USPS options that have been removed due to the filter.

If the weight is above 13 ounces, then the issue is related to product weight or tare. If less than 13 ounces, then there's a problem.

I've run out of time tonight and more chores are calling my name.

This is what i get when I have the box sizes set.......

USPS Debug Mode Enabled!

Still no 1st class....

Here is my site link.... starsmagickshop.com

What USPS classes do you have selected for Domestic and International shipping in the setup? What Radio buttons are selected?

Do you have FirstClassMail Package checked?

In the dimensions area, reset things back to the default. ie: remove all the dimensions and enter

regular;+

The errors indicate that you have not installed the SQL patch required for volume filtering. The weight shown when I add a SET to the cart also indicates that the SQL patch was not installed since the weight is shown as 10 lbs instead of 10.0000006 pounds

Since you now have 3 different threads running about the same topic, I'm going to bow out and let Marco try to help.
