USPS standard post shipping is not showing up

Sometimes it works sometimes it doesn't.

I don't under stand what could be causeing something like this.

for example im using part number 54-1008 quantity 2

Like for zip code 14757 it doesn't show up

but it works to 90210

but doesn't work on 16648

if you try some zip codes it shows and some don't makes no sense

Re: USPS standard post shipping is not showing up

USPS changed the way Standard Post works and it does not show for Zones 1-4 ...

If you turn on the Debug to Logs in the USPS shipping module, you can test your shipping then read the Shipping debug log that is generated and you should see in the shipping modules that are returned the Zone for the shipping based on the Ship From/Ship To combination ...

Re: USPS standard post shipping is not showing up

There isn't really a fix as nothing is broken ...

USPS changed the USPS rules on Standard Post ... it does not ship to Zones 1-4 ...

There is a way to code this if you use Hazard Products that require Standard Post, but to use it then turns off the ability to use the other shipping methods ...

Are you using Hazard Products that require ground shipping?

If so, do you have an way to identify these Products in your products table?

Re: USPS standard post shipping is not showing up

Unfortunately to force Standard Post to work with Zones 1-4, that will turn off all other shipping methods ...

Is the USPS Post Office allowing you to send packages to Zone 1-4 via Standard Post?

Re: USPS standard post shipping is not showing up

If you check on the web site for USPS, and try to ship from:
16648 to 14757

they do not offer Standard Post ...
