USPS Module - Rates Calculate but doesn't show in "Available Shipping Methods" table

You cannot get a quote on USPS shipping until there is an address set ...

oh ok thanks.

and how I can disable auto select of shipping method during checkout so customer have to select a method as right now usps priority get sel

To turn off the cheapest selection for shipping, you would need to customize the shipping class in:
/includes/classes/shipping.php

with the code in RED:

[B]// bof: turn off $cheapest selection
      $cheapest = false;
// eof: turn off $cheapest selection
[/B]      return $cheapest;

Worked. Thanks

I have installed two modules which are giving hard time.

(1) Tell A Friend and Shipping Is FREE! customer can select this ship method and complete order with out filling email and friend name fields. How I can make these required?

(2) Shipping insurance in not appearing now on checkout when item in card have fee ship even customer chose usps or ups method still shipping insurance don't appear or get added but if item in cart does not have free ship on then shipping insurance work fine.

Hi Linda,
I think I have fixed (2) mentioned above. Can you please assist with (1).

Sounds like you are using an add-on and you should post your question on the support thread for whatever that is ...

I was able to fix that as well. I have been looking for solution on this since last week and module don't have thread. Thanks again Linda for your assistance.

Will I need to install anything new to my ZenCart when the new postal rates occur?

I don't think so because rates are coming directly from usps server through API you create before installing this module.
If usps announce and require upload of new files then yes otherwise you just stick to what you have installed and rates should update automatically.

Thanks Jsarwar

But aren't they adding new services, too? I thought I read that there were new services being added. That might require a change to the API.

Ajeh? (or any of the other Zen developers) Is anyone looking into this? Remember last year's USPS API fiasco? As I recall Ajeh worked very late into the wee hours to get it working in time, thanks to the USPS changing the way their API actually worked at the last minute. You were fixing bugs and we were testing as fast as you'd send a new fix, into the very early hours. I jumped onto the forums today to see if there was any discussion about it. I hope one of the developers knows more & can let us know if it's an issue or not. Thanks, Debbie
