USPS & UPS & osCommerce SHIPPING WEIGHT


Guest

Greetings friends.

 

I'm entering products and adding their weight. When I do a test in checkout for an item that I entered, the shipping weight that USPS and UPS report is way off.

 

 

I enter:

 

Product A (Bumper Sticker)

Product A Weight: 0.0125 (0.2 oz on a scale)

 

In the Product Listing on the site it shows a weight of 0.1 ( I have entered a straight 0.02 on the weight field as well, this gives a result of 0.2 on the product listing) Though the result at check is the same for the most part.

 

I add Product A to my shopping cart and proceed to checkout

 

UPS and USPS now show the shipping weight at 3.01lbs

 

Where is the 3lbs coming from? Again this is for both UPS and USPS.

 

 

I am using USPS Methods 2.9.2.

 

Thank you in advance.

Sigh. The 951st to ask that. :)

 

 

Thats good though right? Shows that more and more new people are using osCommerce? :)

 

I was able to fix this issue by doing the following:

 

Goto My Store > Shipping/Packaging >

 

Change 'Package Tare Weight' to 0

 

Change 'Larger Packages - percentage increase' to 0

 

Also I use www.onlineconversion.com/weight_common.htm to convert my pounds to ounces to correctly enter product weight.
