USPS shippig module all of a sudden not giving quotes

USPS shippig module all of a sudden not giving quotes. Zen V1.5.5D

Anyone else having a problem?

if you changed nothing, and it was working, it is indicative of a problem with the UPS website. i would investigate outages over there. which is certainly not unheard of...

good luck.

one change on an inventory program was mad by my programmer but should not have had any effect on this. I am posting on here to see if anyone else is having the same problem, can anyone confirm their USPS mod is working properly and giving shipping rates?

It's working for our site and the API downtime checker I use doesn't show any problems recently other than a short instance of slow response time.

I just tested it again, and it seems to be going in and out of working. =( I confirmed with my developer that none of the changes affected the usps at all. Is anyone else having my same problem?

Is anyone else having the same problem??

no problems all day yesterday or today

Last night I received an order where the customer didn't pay for shipping. I tried to replicate the order but the shipping was automatically selected and showed during all stages of check out. I don't understand how the customer was able to check out with out paying for the shipping charges. The invoice shows 0.00 in the shipping field. During my test orders usps showed all the proper shipping quotes.

USPS APIs seems to be having connection issues today for the past couple of hours.

Mine stopped giving quotes, customers can't order. Has been going on for at least an hour.

I keep getting the error message: We are unable to find any available service options for this label, please review your label and try again.

The USPS server was taking so long to respond it was like it's not there.

Right now, It is still responding super slow (like ten-second delay) but my site is working. It's generating shipping costs now just taking a long time.

Before it was taking 25 or more second which Zen-Cart apparently gives up before that.

It's not working on any of my zencart websites. It stopped working about 3 hours ago and I made no changes to my sites.

when i go to the usps.com site and try and get a quote, it does not seem to work. so the issue is with usps and not with ZC.

best.

Same here. Lets hope it clears up soon.

Yep, also seeing problems here.

Mine had started working again around 1:30 and one customer placed an order online. However, sometime after that it stopped again.

Response times are anywhere from 10 seconds to 30+ seconds.

Zen-Cart is waiting 15.001 seconds for a response. If it does not come within that time, it fails.

Response times are anywhere from 10 seconds to 30+ seconds. It looks like the Zen-Cart software only waits about 10 seconds for a response.

I am also having these USPS issues

An error occurred in obtaining USPS shipping quotes.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please try refreshing this page, or contact the store owner.

The server is located in Chicago but I don't think this is a regional issues. If anyone finds any answer please post.

Not sure if this is permanent but as of 5:45 eastern the USPS module is giving quotes again. For how long we shall see. Perhaps is was the Eclipse =D
