USPS Rate Calculation

[goaty]

I am getting interesting results for some USPS rate calculations. Here is an example of the XML that I send

 

<RateRequest USERID="263MYTHA7103" PASSWORD="NONE">
	<Package ID="0">
			<Service>Express</Service>
			<ZipOrigination>76248</ZipOrigination>
			<ZipDestination>11201</ZipDestination>
			<Pounds>2</Pounds>
			<Ounces>2</Ounces>
			<Container>None</Container>
			<Size>REGULAR</Size>
			<Machinable>False</Machinable>
	</Package>
	<Package ID="1">
			<Service>Priority</Service>
			<ZipOrigination>76248</ZipOrigination>
			<ZipDestination>11201</ZipDestination>
			<Pounds>2</Pounds>
			<Ounces>2</Ounces>
			<Container>None</Container>
			<Size>REGULAR</Size>
			<Machinable>False</Machinable>
	</Package>
	<Package ID="2">
			<Service>Parcel</Service>
			<ZipOrigination>76248</ZipOrigination>
			<ZipDestination>11201</ZipDestination>
			<Pounds>2</Pounds>
			<Ounces>2</Ounces>
			<Container>None</Container>
			<Size>REGULAR</Size>
			<Machinable>False</Machinable>
	</Package>
</RateRequest>

 

and here is the response

 

<Package ID="0">
	<Service>Express</Service>
	<ZipOrigination>76248</ZipOrigination>
	<ZipDestination>11201</ZipDestination>
	<Pounds>2</Pounds>

	<Container>NONE</Container>
	<Size>REGULAR</Size>
	<Machinable>FALSE</Machinable>

	<Postage>22.20</Postage>
</Package>
<Package ID="1">

	<ZipOrigination>76248</ZipOrigination>
	<ZipDestination>11201</ZipDestination>
	<Pounds>2</Pounds>
	<Ounces>2</Ounces>
	<Container>NONE</Container>
	<Size>REGULAR</Size>
	<Machinable>FALSE</Machinable>
	<Zone>6</Zone>
	<Postage>7.55</Postage>
</Package>
<Package ID="2">

	<ZipOrigination>76248</ZipOrigination>
	<ZipDestination>11201</ZipDestination>
	<Pounds>2</Pounds>
	<Ounces>2</Ounces>
	<Container>NONE</Container>
	<Size>REGULAR</Size>
	<Machinable>FALSE</Machinable>
	<Zone>6</Zone>
	<Postage>8.92</Postage>
</Package>

 

As you can see, the Postage for the Parcel package is 8.92 and the postage for the priority package is 7.55. Intuitively Parcel postage should not be greater than Priority postage. I verified this with the USPS Rate Calculator Web site.

 

Is anyone else having this problem?

I know I'm reviving an old thread, but I'm having the same (similar anyway) problem.

 

The USPS module is calculating First-class, Priority, and Express-Mail rates correctly, But is carrying a decimal point in the wrong spot for Parcel-Post rates.

 

For example- A 1.3 lb package is coming up with the 13.0 lb Parcel-Post rate.

 

Help!
