USPS problem - select one method, returns another

Pardon me for being a n00b, but I have a slight problem with my store.

I'm using the USPS Shipping module and I have three options: Media Mail, Priority Mail, and Express Mail.

If a customer chooses Media Mail in "Step 1 of 3 - Delivery Information" in "Step 2 of 3 - Payment Information" it shows Priority Mail.

What am I doing wrong and how can I fix it?

Thanks in advance.

I am having a similar problem that just started today

When Priority is checked it goes to express

could it be a problem with USPS ?

Me too, I just installed usps mod and switched to the production server and even when selecting prioirty mail the next step shows express.......

Moving to Bug Reports ... thanks!

So did this just happen to you today after it has been working for awhile, or is this the first time you tried it? I am having the same problem and am just finally ready to finish the site and this happened! So hopefully it is a quick fix. Just for some further info, I tested it out with an international package (Express and Priority is allowed), and whichever one I pick comes up correct.

Its been working fine for 2 years and was working fine yesterday

Then today...the glitch

I went to the USPS site and tried to use their contact form...but I got errors. I think they may be having computer problems

That could very well be as so far it isn't making sense in what I have tested thus far ... :blink:

But I will be looking into this later on today and see if there is something we are not aware of at USPS ... they are often so very helpful in telling us about changes ... :rolleyes:

Thanks !!!

I set up the store on Friday, tested it yesterday and it was fine.

Noticed the problem this morning.

Hopefully it does turn out to be a quick fix.

Thanks the attention that you are giving it Ajeh.

I just fixed this problem on my osc site. The problem is that the USPS just started returning the Method ID in all uppercase. The USPS module is comparing its mixed case string with the upper case string from the USPS server and then defaulting to the first method returned from USPS, which is express. Just update the module source so that 'Express' becomes 'EXPRESS', 'Priority' becomes 'PRIORITY', etc.

I tried changing the case and got no rates at all. I'm guessing there is one more place to change in the file for zen-- this fix seems to work for the oscommerce crowd.

Should we also make a change in the bottom of the file? It seems like the configs should be in caps

Tom

$db->Execute("insert into " . TABLE_CONFIGURATION . " (configuration_title, configuration_key, configuration_value, configuration_description, configuration_group_id, sort_order, set_function, date_added) values ('Domestic Shipping Methods', 'MODULE_SHIPPING_USPS_TYPES', 'Express, Priority, First Class, Parcel, Media, BPM, Library', 'Select the domestic services to be offered:', '6', '14', 'zen_cfg_select_multioption(array('Express', 'Priority', 'First Class', 'Parcel', 'Media', 'BPM', 'Library'), ', now())");

Since this is a new problem and no one has heard from USPS; I'd be hesitant to change anything. I'd really like to know if this is a problem or a feature first.

I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem!

We are working on a solution for the unannounced changes with USPS ...

We do not have confirmation yet as to the extent of these changes ...

I made changes in capitalization (array and config area) in my usps.php file and now usps works for domestic and international.

To make this work you need to uninstall usps shipping and then reinstall. After the reinstall, you'll see the shipping options in all caps where before it was not.

Update#3
The only rate I'm not getting is 1st class international. Otherwise all usps rates work.

It worked for me.

I hope that there is nothing else wrong... and I kept the old usps.php file on hand just in case.

Something changed at usps today and until the zen team gets a full fix here is mine. Domestic and international rates work correctly although no rates are returned for 1st class international

Uninstall the old usps and reinstall this one.
