What happened to USPS First Class International?

We got many complaints from international customers that shipping rates are really high. I went on the site and checked and the USPS First Class option is gone, only Express and Priority show up.

I did see a thread talking about a USPS Module update, will this fix that issue?

Thanks!

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

The best way to learn is to try stuff. But, back it up first.

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

Not the same issue. However I did resolve it. Now the only problem is first class does not show up in the cart for international orders even though it is checked in the module.

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

Just installed the update and for some reason USPS First Class International won't show up in the customers cart even though it is selected in the module itself. Any tips?

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

What is the weight on your order?

What are your settings in the Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ...

Could you go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box enter:
usps.php

and select Catalog ... then click search ... what are the version id that come up for the shipping module and its language file?

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

The weight is under 2lbs so it's not going to priority because of that. Not sure what is happening.

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

I don't know why but this one is still under the 2006 version

catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php

Line #6 : * @version $Id: usps.php 4867 2006-10-31 09:59:01Z drbyte $

I fixed both during the update though.

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

What comes up for the file in:
/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php

NOTE: First Class only ships on 13oz or less ...

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

The 13 oz rule is for US shipping. International is anything under 4lbs. I just tried to overwrite that file in catalog/includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php
again but it refused to change from the 2006 version.

Re: What happened to USPS First Class International?

You need to find out why you think you are installing the files to your server and they are not being installed correctly ...

Those are the old files and they will not work correctly ...

I mean I deleted the files first and then installed the files from the update directly in the control panel for my website. Not via FTP. What else could I be doing to make sure the new file is in there?
