usps actual shipping cost possible?

I have the USPS module installed and configured, but I cannot seem to get an accurate rate......

I want to charge te customer the ACTUAL shipping cost, rather than assigning a flat rate based on zone or weight........ we ship internationally as well, s this would be extremely inaccurate for most countries.

At present, I have the USPS module active and configured, and the tare weight..... none of the others seems to work either....

are the rates to high or to low?

Merlinpa1969:

are the rates to high or to low?

The rates are way too low... about a dollar a pound....... I also thought with the USPS shipping module the shipping calculator would identify itself as a USPS shipping rate calculator......

if you would actualy like to see the rate calculator, we have the site live at http://baltimorestreetmods.sashbox.net/store/

if I am reading the shipping options correctly in zencart, it would seem I can only charge an amount per poind, an anmount per item, or a set amount based on a weight or item number range...........'

....is it not possible to actually have the USPS calculate the shipping based on the ship weight, destination and shipping method? eBay sales do this all the time.

Got it fixed, is was a usps issue
