meeganlair Posted December 10, 2005 Share Posted December 10, 2005 Recently experienced a USPS shipping module anomaly where it added too much weight while calculating rates. For example, an item weighing .25 lbs was showing up as 3.5lbs on the checkout_shipping.php page during the checkout process. This is caused by two variables unavailable from the Admin site that could be changed in the database if you wish. The variables and defaults are below. For 2.2MS2 Only SHIPPING_BOX_WEIGHT (defaults to 3 as in 3lbs) and SHIPPING_BOX_PADDING (defaults to 10 as in 10%). To edit values, find the respective configuration_key fields in the configuration table and edit the configuration_value. They will be added to your product's weight at weight calculation time. For more information on their usage see the file /catalog/includes/classes/shipping.php, method quote() peace m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
