$0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

Hi,
I use 1.3.8a and I applied the USPS update per instructions. I'm getting $0 international shipping while it returned correct rates when it was first set up; this was the first international order. The USPS mod is used only for international orders. There are no other shipping mods installed.

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

Is this France or France Metro?

If you try any other International Shipping does it work?

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

Thank you for posting. I also tried with an address in Spain and the same thing happens: $0 shipping.

Any ideas?

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

I am not seeing anything for Ohio either ...

What is your 5 digit Zip Code set to in the Shipping/Packaging?

What is the Maximum Weight set to?

What are the Tare Weights set to?

What version Zen Cart are you running?

Clean install or an Upgrade?

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

USPS is only for orders outside the US, as mentioned before (sorry).

Under Shipping/Packaging, zip is 11776. Nothing for max weight and tare.

Clean install is 1.3.8a.

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

How did you build your Zone for this?

Are you sure you have details for the Zone and not just a Zone Name?

Your site reads Direct Checkout no need to create an account ...

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

When I go to that zone definition (foreign) and click on details, I see a list of countries with "all zones".

That text is there not to confuse people (very targeted market).

Pretend I am dense ... :blink:

How do I create an account to test the checkout?

If you turn off the Zone, does it work for any checkout for anywhere based on the Customer Address?

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

You create an account the same way as other carts, it was just renamed for the argument's sake. ;)

If I turn off the zones, USPS shipping will apply to all addresses, including in the US, correct? If so, that's not an option because the cart is Live (flat rate for US).

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

Could you do it for two seconds after you are logged in and have added something to the cart and click on checkout just to see if the shipping comes up right?

Re: $0 USPS Shipping Incorrect

Oh and it too was $0.00 shipping ...

Do you happen to have a test site to work with or can you set one up that would be a clean Zen Cart v1.3.8 in a clean subdirectory and just load the demo data to just test the USPS shipping module?

It can be a pain, but it is helpful to have a play site to test weird things or work out how you want features to work ...

I set the Shipping Zone to none in the USPS mod and I still got $0 shipping.

No test site, sorry. :(

What should I do next?

When you said you applied the USPS patch ... you did also REMOVE and REINSTALL the module and configured it correctly ...

I do not remember installing any. After I took care of the update, that was the first thing that came to mind but I didn't find anything in my notes.
