usps module suddenly giving an error

It reads

Line #6 : * @version $Id: usps.php 18348F 2012-01-22 01:22:00Z ajeh $

It wasn't working before but i saved all my settings... I removed it and then uploaded the 2 files in the right spot... installed and put my settings back in...

I'll try saving settings removing and uploading and installing again and see if that fixes the problem...

thanks!

I am having an odd problem. I used the updated usps shipping as instructed, and I see all of the things I should see according to the instructions, however, even when ordering a 88 cent card, it will NOT post first class rates, only priority mail. This is domestic, I have not yet checked international. I made sure I installed where instructed and I followed the read me file (uninstalled module, reinstalled module) but nothing......no matter how many options I choose, all it shows is priority :(

This module works fine on my other shopping cart, but for the life of me cannot get it to work on this new one! help!

Just to be sure ... go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and in the bottom input box enter:
usps.php

and search the Catalog ...

what is the version id?

Then, go to Configuration ... Shipping/Packaging ... what are the settings in there?

I am using 1.3.9 zen cart
when searching for usps.php this is the info I get: * @version $Id: usps.php 18348F 2012-01-22 01:22:00Z ajeh $

in the configuration...Shipping/Packaging I have:

The Problem is your Tare Rate ... you have 0:3 ... that adds 3lbs to the Order and is too heavy for First Class ... use 0:0 and see if that works better ...

awesome! thank you :) I will go make the change right now ;)
worked like a charm! You are the best.....evah!!! :)

Thanks for the update that this fixed the problem for you ... :smile:

I'm having the same problem, but the above fixes haven't worked.
The error I get in the "Shipping Method" page is:

United States Postal Service
We are unable to find a USPS shipping quote suitable for your mailing address and the shipping methods we typically use.

(Please check that your Zip Code is entered correctly.)

In Configuration / Shipping/Packaging, I have these settings:

**Title Value Action

In Developers Tool Kit, searching for usps.php, I get this:

I'm using ZenCart 1.5.0 on a Linux server

What is your ship to?

What is the weight of the order?

If you go to Modules ... Shipping ... and click on USPS ... what do you have in the right panel?

If you turn on the debug to logs ... what USPS shipping debug log do you get in the /cache when you go to the checkout?

Thanks for responding! :-)

RESPONSE FROM USPS:

I guess I'm not authorized, for some reason.
USPS does show a green circle in Shipping Modules. It was yellow until I had put in the Web Tools user ID they gave me a few days ago.

Sounds like you need to call USPS and get your USPS Web Tools User ID approved for the Production server so that you can get quotes ...

ok... thank you very much for the assist! :smile:

You can reach them by calling USPS 1-800-344-7779 (7:00AM to 11:00PM ET) ...
