USPS does not change rate in Checkout

[Mr. Ree]

Greets,

 

If anyone has installed the new checkout could you be so kind as to test the USPS module on your site. Mine will relay the Express Mail rate regardless of what rate the customer selects.

 

EX. "United States Postal Service (1 x 0.275lbs) (Express Mail): $15.65USD " when Priority was selected at $5.85.

 

The UPS module functions fine and reports the correct rate. It is only the USPS selection that does not function properly.

 

And yes, I am a registered user of the USPS and have used the module with no problems in the pre Nov. 1 checkout procedure.

 

Many thanks!

 

Mr. Ree

Hi,

 

I was having this problem even with UPS module, everytime it shows the rate of UPS Ground inspite what the shopper selects, I made the following modification in checkout_shipping.php and its working fine. :)

 

checkout_shipping.php Line 260:

 

<td class="main" align="right" colspan="2"><?php echo $currencies->format($quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['cost']) . tep_draw_hidden_field('shipping', $quotes[$i]['id'] . '_' . $quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['id']); ?></td>

 

Change to:

 

<td class="main" align="right" colspan="2"><?php echo $currencies->format($quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['cost']) . tep_draw_radio_field('shipping', $quotes[$i]['id'] . '_' . $quotes[$i]['methods'][$j]['id']); ?></td>

 

It may help.

UPS worked fine for me.

 

we are talking about USPS though, ya know?

[Mr. Ree]

So is anyone else besides us three having a problen with the USPS not changing the price in the new checkout?

 

Mr. Ree

[Mr. Ree]

I forgot to add. Thanks for posting the suggestion above but it does not fix the USPS problem.

 

Mr. Ree

[wkrecords]

[Trusten]

that's still not cool

 

i am guessing that everyone else does have this problem but in all honesty, not everyone is trying to use USPS.

 

shame

 

 

*grrr*

I also tested and confirm what Reese Ree reports: no matter which USPS shipping option is chosen at checkout_shipping.php, the express mail option is the choice when you get to checkout_confirmation.

 

Unfortunately I don't have the time to work on this one, as I am still trying to get UPS working with the XML rate quote API ...

[Mr. Ree]

Thanks for the confirmation Fritz. I was afraid of that....

 

So if the problem is in the new check out code, It really needs to be addressed.

 

I have a real concern because I have advertisements appearing in three State wide magazines beginning next week to drive traffic to this store.

 

If anyone can help with this issue I would be greatly indebted, my skills are not up to par to figure this one out.

 

If you need to see what I am talking about,

go to www.artesanodesigns.com,

log in as [email protected],

password oscommerce,

and add an item to the cart. proceed with the check-out procedure selecting anything besides "Express Mail" in the USPS shipping section.

 

Continue to the checkout_confirmation.php/I'm Ready To Purchase! screen and notice the Shipping method and amount.

 

You can go back, make changes to the shipping method and it will still report the selection as "Express Mail".

 

Now, select a method of UPS shipping, it will report the correct method selected.

 

This is a live shop so I will delete any data put in under this login.

 

This leads me to believe that the error exsists in the usps.php or the checkout_shipping.php pages, however I have looked, made changes, reverted back to the original and can not find the offending code.

 

I am really getting desperate here, someone please give me some ideas.

 

Thanks to all,

[Trusten]

you're not the only one.

i now have had to put up manual table rates and stuff.

 

hey, you wants that i change your buttons for you so they match your store??

 

also, white on black is usually easier to read but that's all up to you.

[Mr. Ree]

Rats, I can not believe that I did not put the link to the catalog page in my post above instead of sending you to the main page.

 

The direct link should be http://www.artesanodesigns.com/catalog/default.php.

 

You have a nice looking site Trusten, lot's of good work there.

 

I suppose this issue may require and official bug report. Now does one go about making a bug report?

[Trusten]

Thanks, you really think so?

 

took a lot of blood, sweat, tears, and sleepless nights.

 

the night i launched the site, i totally had errors so i culdn't sleep till 6 am.

 

yeah, i guess i can do a bug report in a sec.

 

 

the offer for those buttons still stans. You want 'em? tell me the color and i'll make 'em. i totally have the buttons template disected it so easy to make them now.

[Trusten]

btw mr. ree, i noticed you had a poll box, i wanted to add that, are you using the most recent snapshot?

[Mr. Ree]

Yep, the most recent pollbox mod.. an easy addition.
