USPS Confusion

I signed up at:

http://www.uspsprioritymail.com/et_regcert.html

for a USPS Web Tools account. It then e-mailed me with a "Web Tools User ID"

The USPS Shipping Module asks for:

"Enter the USPS User ID
Enter the USPS USERID assigned to you."

and

"Enter the USPS Password
See USERID, above."

what are the proper values for these?

You put the User ID from the USPS email in for the User ID.
You can put anything for the password, as it's ignored nowadays.

OK,

I used the USERID from the e-mail and a random password.

When checking out, the USPS box shows:

"Unable to find a USPS shipping quote suitable for your mailing address and the shipping methods we typically use.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact us for assistance."

What is the customer address you're testing with? Is it valid?

Have you set your store's shipping ZIP in Admin->Configuration->Shipping/Packaging ?

The zip is set in the Shipping/Packaging section.

I tested a few different addresses that all should be valid and get the same error.

Ideas?

Have you called and activated the account for the Production server?

that was it, thanks :)

I had the same problem, I went to my local USPS and ask them to have my account activiate for production server and they has NO idea what it is.

I have already sign up for USPS webtool and am all ready to setup the shipping fr my onlin store but cant until this "Unable to find a USPS shipping quote suitable for your mailing address and the shipping methods we typically use.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact us for assistance." get fixed!!:(

Any help please?

Tom_Ace,

Send and email with your user ID to this address [email protected] and request that you be moved to a production server. Once they move you it will all fall into place.

Hi,

I am getting the following errors in USPS..
We are unable to find a USPS shipping quote suitable for your mailing address and the shipping methods we typically use.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact us for assistance.
(Please check that your Zip Code is entered correctly.)

Also In FedEx getting the following error:

You will need to have registered an account with FedEx and proper approval from FedEx identity to use this module.

Please help me to correct this.
