USPS Shipping Module [Support Thread]

I'll give that a look-see later today, as @HeleneWallis mentioned a couple of postings ago the USPS has changed stuff yet again.

Randolph Hoppe:

Media Mail Parcel query coming back with a 0 rate as of a few days ago. Priority Mail works fine.

Any ideas?
I'm still getting Media Mail Parcel quotes, what version of USPS are you using?

2022-08-07 K11e, but forgive me, I'm still on ZC 1.5.1 with PHP Version 5.4.45 and MySQL 5.5.5-10.3.37-MariaDB.

If Priority quotes weren't working, too, I'd understand it's because of my bad set-up.

I have no way of validating the USPS operation on that version of Zen Cart and/or that version of PHP.

Hmm. I changed it from RETAIL to ONLINE and all seems well. What are the implications of that setting?

The online rates are 'commercial' rates, giving you a discount from the normal 'retail' pricing.

I installed this version on my 1.5.8 installation. Does not seem to see USPS shipping method at all. Just wanting to know if you are going to update the module to work with 1.5.8?

Version 2023-01-29_K11f of the USPS shipping module is now available for download (https://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1292)This release contains the following changes

• Refactoring and declaring all class variables for use under PHP 7.4 and later (#27).
• USPS interface changes (#28)
• 'Priority MailRM Regional Rate Box A' and 'Priority MailRM Regional Rate Box B' no longer supported
  by USPS. Remove from current configuration on auto-update; don't include in initial configuration
  on fresh install.
• Country full-spelling name changed from 'Turkey' to 'Türkiye'.
• Correct PHP Warning when US-destined USPS quote returns no values. (#26)
• Add a notification to enable an observer to modify the overall handling fee for the current order. (#29)

2023-01-30 K11g now available to correct that issue.

Please use this instead of K11f!

Not auto updating now.

K11g will autoupdate K11e but not K11f:(

Downgrade to K11e and try again.

Just as easy to kill f and load g BUT folks need to make note of the settings before removing the module or else....

Hi @lat9, thanks for your updates.

I have a question. I just updated my k11e to k11g. It seemed working fine but I missed one feature. In k11e, in the shipping quote page (/index.php?main_page=popup_shipping_estimator), the cheapest method (like USPS first-class) will be highlighted. But in k11g, no options from USPS quote will be highlighted.

Here are what I have tried:

1. I enabled only USPS module (k11g, stock files). Other shipping modules are disabled. In the shipping quote page, the shipping quotes show up properly, but no one is highlighted.

2. I enabled USPS and FedEx. The cheapest Fedex shipping option is highlighted. But it is still expensive than the cheapest USPS quote.

3. I uninstall the k11g, then put k11e file back & install again. The highlight function works properly.

zc 1.5.7d with php7.4

GitHub tracking issue opened: https://github.com/lat9/usps/issues/32

I just installed this module and part of the time I click checkout and I get a 500 error not found

USPS Version Date
2023-01-30 K11g

ZC v1.5.7

Rather than not found, a 500 error is generally something that happened on the server as it was preparing the files for the site.

Not knowing your zen cart version or PHP version makes an answer very generic.

Look in the /logs folder of your site to see if there are any display logs.

Remove/change and admin or personal information and place the content of them here using the # on the menu above.

ZC 1.5.7

PHP Version: 7.4.33 (Zend: 3.4.0)

I'm trying to get into my logs directory but its taking forever on FileZilla and on Cpanel file manager.
