Default USPS Shipping Module

[cbrknight]

I am trying to use the USPS Shipping module. USPS sent me an email with a webtools ID... They say that it is all that is needed. However, the module wants a login/password. The link that is in the module sends me to the webtools page on the USPS.com site.

 

When I try to place an order... I get the following error

 

United States Postal Service United States Postal Service

An error occured with the USPS shipping calculations.

If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact the store owner.

 

Can someone please help me with this...

 

My client really wants to use USPS for their shipping.

Three things I learned by trial and error

 

1. Make sure you entered your zip code under Configuration | Shipping and packing

2. Use your web ID as your password. Yes, that is correct. According to the USPS Internet Support Center, they no longer require a separate password.

3. Call them, and have them move you over to the production server, since OSCommerce is so well debugged, they do not require test calls from an OSCOmmerce installation.

 

Hope this helps.
