USPS new rates May

cyfarian:

Was this post to me? If so, thank you for reponding to my post. Yes, I did edit the file per the instructions in the post. It did not correct the issue. Did I do it incorrectly? I removed the edit and as I said in my post, it just resulted in a different error.

Okay, I see my issue. I had created a duplicate of the file in the same directory and that was screwing it up. Sorry!!

Re: USPS new rates May

Ajeh:

There are rules concerning weight on USPS ... there is also a rule on amount for one of the shipping methods on orders over $400.00

These will disable shipping methods if the weight does not work for that method or the order total is over $400.00

SEE: usps.com for more information on their new rules

Shouldn't be an issue. $43 and 5 lbs shouldn't be any problem for Express International.

Re: USPS new rates May

NOTE: USPS is having intermittent problems on their server

At this moment the server is working ... does your module work now?

Re: USPS new rates May

I am stilling working on it and nothing. I even installed UPS so I could see if there was something else wrong. Did you get those prices off my shipping est? I can't get anything international but the UPS?

Re: USPS new rates May

Also seeming to have problems with international USPS.

"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."

Zen Cart version 1.3.0 and I physically removed the old files (replacing them with the new patch files). Other than updating the module, nothing else was done. It's currently set to Production server. Ideas? Thoughts? Is this USPS or me?

Where is the regular Express Mail International (non-flat rate, non-envelope)? That's the one I'm referring too. Basically the Global Express Mail (GEM) for packages replacement. If you use the calculator on the website you'll see what I'm referring too.

Re: USPS new rates May

I'm not sure if this is related to the new usps module or not but I'm almost certain it is. My popup shipping estimator isn't working, it pops up but never does load the estimates. The costs calculate just fine on the checkout_shipping page but not at all in the popup.

Any ideas?

Re: USPS new rates May

helpme:

I have looked and can't find how to run the debug for USPS, can you point me in a direction? Maybe that will do something.If you are using the May 14 (or newer) module, and have gone into your Admin and removed and re-installed the module, then you'll see a "Debug" option at the bottom of the configuration settings. If you turn it on ("Email"), then you'll get an email sent to the store-owner with all the response details received from USPS when requesting a quote.

Re: USPS new rates May

Until an address is given the Shipping Estimator has nothing to estimate on any Shipping module that does a rate quote on a call to another server ...

Add an address ... get a quote ... :cool:

Actually I had this issue...I changed from the staging to production. I thought I read somewhere to use the staging, but then seen another post to use production, so went ahead and changed to production. Estimated starting working again.

Still getting:

For international. Has anyone gotten this and resolved past it yet?

Re: USPS new rates May

  1. Which shipping methods do you have enabled in USPS?

  2. Does switching between staging and production server make any difference?

  3. If you turn on debug logging, what's appearing in the emails you receive?

  4. What is the destination address of the customer you're testing with? And your zip code shipping from?

Re: USPS new rates May

FYI...it seems to be working fine for me, for the most part. We're running 1.3.7 and followed the instructions as previously outlined.

The shipping classes we have enabled are:

Domestic Shipping Methods
Express, Priority, First Class, Parcel

International Shipping Methods
Global Express, Express Mail Int, Priority Mail Int, First-Class Mail Int

However, I do NOT see the Global Express or Express Mail option pop up on my international orders. I have tried a couple of different addresses (Taiwan and Canada) and I only get the Priority Mail International and First Class Mail International option.
