USPS web tools

Our usps shipping module quit working. I updated to v15 Ratev3 and it worked a few times...slowly. After testing both the shipping estimate and checkout they only work intermittently, and when they do it's slow. Usually it returns "that option not availabe".
We're using v1.39h

Help. I wonder if it couldn't be the web tools server?

Same here, located in midwest. Zencart 1.3.9h.

Picturemom is it working for you now? I contacted customer care and got "To my knowledge we are not experiencing any down time or updates with in Web Tools. Again, I do apologize that you were having difficulties with Web Tools. "
Our is working again but I'd still like to konw why it wasn't.

I had another customer with issues with USPS servers being slow with no results ... but they appear to be resolved now ...

Thanks Ajeh. I thought it might be a server problem but wasn't sure...That's what it appears to have been.

Our USPS Shipping module quit working also. Found out from talking with USPS Technical support that they upgraded to v4 of their API.

We are running v1.3.7

So I will be looking around for what needs to be done to support the new USPS v4 API.

USPS works with RateV3 and RateV4 ...

You can get the current USPS January 22, 2012 by reading the Announcement on this:

NOTE:you should also be upgrading to v1.3.9h or v1.5 ... due to all the bugs, security issues etc. with v1.3.7 ...

Thank, it seems to be working now. I am in the process of deciding what to do with the upgrade. I have so many custom mods on my cart, it's causing a real problem.

Isd there a patch for 1.3.9h? The only USPS module updates I can find are for 1.5.0. I have a lot of clients that are not ready to upgrade yet.

thanks

I'm having problems downloading the USPS module. Its downloading as a .zip.html

So I'm not getting any files or read me, etc. I tried all 3 downloads and the same problem. Any help? Thanks

What browser and version are you using? Some with Opera and Safari have had issues ...

Have you tried a different browser?

Thanks Ajeh
