USPS Rates The requested Mail Service is not available

Since updating to the latest version of USPS Rates, USPS_2014_0907_K5, on my client site, the plugin will not give a rate for anything above First Class Letter. In the log file, I get the following message:

<Package ID="0"><Error><Number>-2147219385</Number><Source>DomPostageLibrary;RateV4.ProcessRequest</Source>
<Description>The requested Mail Service is not available for the specified request attributes.</Description><HelpFile/><HelpContext/></Error></Package>

<Package ID="1"><Error><Number>-2147219385</Number><Source>DomPostageLibrary;RateV4.ProcessRequest</Source>
<Description>The requested Mail Service is not available for the specified request attributes.</Description><HelpFile/><HelpContext/></Error></Package>
</RateV4Response>

Please help if you can. I just don't understand why it's not working. I made sure the settings were the same as before updating the plugin. I am attaching the log file and a screen shot of the settings. Please let me know if I need to provide more information.

Thank you.
Mike

Re: USPS Rates The requested Mail Service is not available

First-Class Large Envelope is not working at this time with USPS, they are aware of this issue ...

Standard Post will only work with Zones 5-9 and your shipping looks like it would be in Zone 1-4 ...

You could turn on First-Class Parcel for a similar quote, but it will be higher on most quotes vs First-Class Large Envelope ...

For over 13oz, you would need to turn on something like Priority or Priority Express ...

Re: USPS Rates The requested Mail Service is not available

You could try contacting USPS at [email protected] and complain about the lack of a working First-Class Large Envelope for quotes from USPS and see if enough complaints helps to get something done ...

Re: USPS Rates The requested Mail Service is not available

When you have a change, can you switch to the USPS Test Server for just a few tests and see if the First-Class Large Envelope is working correctly for you?

Ajeh,
I'm not sure if this will have any effect but <Service>First-Class Mail</Service> does not appear to be valid in the V4 API doc.

Re: USPS Rates The requested Mail Service is not available

Interesting observation ... but both work ...

I will have to ask USPS about this as both have worked and in all the samples that I have sent them they have never asked for a change ...

I contacted USPS and they said:
"FIRST CLASS" is the published enumeration (and, therefore, safest bet) but we have no intent to start rejecting "First-Class Mail"

I have received confirmation from USPS that the updates to the Production Server will be made on November 2, 2014.

You can test the next release for USPS September 7, 2014 K6 on the Test Server.
