First Class Shipping USPS weight problem?

With First Class Shipping as my only option (yes, I'm set up for API), I get this -

-2147219434 - First Class mail must weigh 13 ounces or less.

My product's weight is set to 0.187 which is only 3 ounces.

If I have Priority, First Class, and Parcel selected as methods of shipping, Priority and Parcel show, and not First Class.

Anyone know a fix for this?

Re: First Class Shipping USPS weight problem?

It's set to 0:0 . I'm not quite sure that all that means.

My husband went in and set the weight to oz. since this is what we primarily ship. 3-12 oz items.

Re: First Class Shipping USPS weight problem?

I'm still not sure how to get this to work. It's driving me nuts, and I can't open my store until it works.

Re: First Class Shipping USPS weight problem?

Thank you! I don't know what my husband did, but he changed it back to pounds, and then it just started working! I don't know if someone fixed something in there while we were doing it or what (not sure how they would have!)?

:clap::clap:

Thank you for all of your help! :)

Did anyone ever figure out what was changed to fix this issue? All of a sudden the First Class option has disappeared from the shipping module.

Re: First Class Shipping USPS weight problem?

Have you added the updates for the November USPS changes that they did not announce to anyone that they were making?

Re: First Class Shipping USPS weight problem?

Hi Ajeh,

I re-installed the USPS module with the new updated one and it resolved this issue as well as the always defaulting to Express shipping error that was occuring as well!

Thank you very much!
