USPS Shipping Questions

I am new to zen cart so forgive me if this has been asked a hundred times. I searched the forums and couldn't find what I was looking for. We have Zen Cart installed and got are USPS web ID. Shipping still did not work. It didn't do anything. No error on screen it just didn't show any rates.

Then I found the patch and applied that. But we are still getting the same result. No shipping information? Any ideas on what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

Re: USPS Shipping Questions

Is your WebTools account set to "production" or is it still a test account?

Re: USPS Shipping Questions

I called USPS customer care and they said they moved us on to the production servers. How long does that take? I tried it after I got off the phone and still nothing. When you select estimate shipping and put in your state and zip and hit update it just come back with nothing.

What do you mean by "nothing"? A blank page? No quotes? An error message?

What other shipping modules do you have enabled?
What "zone" have you selected in your USPS shipping module? If it's not '--None--', why?

Re: USPS Shipping Questions

If you're getting no error message, it suggests that the module isn't enabled.

What happens if you actually start a checkout? What do you see for shipping choices on the Checkout_Shipping page?

Re: USPS Shipping Questions

Did you set your zip code in Admin->Configuration->Shipping/Packaging?

Re: USPS Shipping Questions

I'm having a similar issue, in my test shipping estimates are simply not appearing. I can see the table just no results whatsoever.
