USPS is not showing Priority or First Class, only Media Mail

My customer is over at twomorrows.com running a too old version of ZC (I know, an upgrade MUST happen...), and we recently discovered that USPS is only offering Media Mail, not First Class or Priority for domestic shipments.

Any short term fix ideas?

PHP 5.4.45
MYSQL 5.0.10

Thanks so much,

  • Rand

You likely need to get the new version of the USPS plugin, REMOVE the old one and RE-INSTALL the new one.

I'm not sure that will work with such an old version of Zen Cart. Time to upgrade from ten years ago.

Duh. I turned on logs and thought the result might help.

You're running 2017-09-16, which doesn't 'understand' the rebranding that USPS has done over the past couple of years. The current version (2022-08-07 K11e) might work for your woefully old Zen Cart base, but I promise nothing! As @dbltoe indicated previously, you'll need to record your current settings and remove the module via the admin's Modules->Shipping, upload the updated versions of /includes/languages/english/modules/shipping/usps.php and /includes/modules/shipping/usps.php and then head back to the admin's Modules->Shipping to re-install the shipping module with those settings you recorded previously.

Note that if you do install the K11e version, too, that you'll no longer receive notifications that a new update is available (if/when one is) since the processing that does this is built into zc152 and later.
