srobonsai Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 I am having trouble with a Canadian Customer getting an error with the USPS method not letting her get the shipping rates. Can't seem to bypass. Guess I will have to calculate price and send quote. Can't get to past the error to the credit card screen though. Is there some software update to run? The USPS Intl options don't look like they have the right names or updating pricing... I jus started using jan 1 so I am new to this! Thx!

krdito Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 My USPS has worked fine since the rate changes (although I don't offer First Class International), but the rates are higher than what is quoted from the usps website. I removed my handling fee, and the rates are still $3 or so more than they should be for Priority, Parcel Post, and Express Mail. Is anyone else seeing this? Not sure how to fix it....guess I may just have a $3 handling fee from here on out - LOL! My handling fee used to be only $1. $3 seems excessive, so I would like to fix it if there is anything that can be done on my end. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krdito Posted January 25, 2012 Share Posted January 25, 2012 So, I finally figured out that the cost of USPS insurance is automatically being added into the shipping cost (despite having a separate area to select insurance), so I disabled the USPS insurance option in my admin panel -> shipping modules. However, in doing this, I realized that my handling fee is not being charged...so I enabled the insurance again which I suppose is now my handling fee. So, the problem is really that my handling fee is not being charged for the shipping options I offer (Priority Mail, Express Mail, Parcel Post, and Priority Mail International). Any idea on what I need to change to make my handling fee be charged for each method? Most of the discussion has been around the problems with First Class Mail International, which I don't offer. Thank you! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

krdito Posted January 27, 2012 Share Posted January 27, 2012 We just uploaded version 6.0 on January 23rd. We had received a letter from the USPS late last year, indicating we were using an old version and needed to upgrade. We waited to do so until after the holidays so we didn't have any shipping glitches during our busiest time of the year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We had received a letter from the USPS late last year, indicating we were using an old version and needed to upgrade. We waited to do so until after the holidays so we didn't have any shipping glitches during our busiest time of the year. I'm using version 5.2.2 and I do not know about the 6.0 version. I know someone who was using a version a little earlier than 5.2.2 and upgraded to 6.1, but he quickly changed over to 5.2.2 and with some changes as per my posts regarding the USPS Jan 22nd changes, it now works for him. Post #25 in this thread leads you to some of those changes. Whichever, the USPS Methods contribution does need some cleanup work by an expert programmer. It appears someone has updated the 6.1 version in the contributions section of USPS Methods. Quote Production:osCommerce V. 2.3.4BSVPS Box Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 Just in case anyone is interested, I uploaded a new USPS contribution. It is a VERY simple module, which some of you asked for last year. Essentially, I'm rewriting the code for efficiency, and this is the stripped down version. The code is clean and efficient, unlike USPS Methods. It includes international and domestic regular, flat rate, and regional options. You choose the options you offer. Other than that, it has no extras. The new module can be found here: http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8327 And I have started a support thread here: http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/383307-usps-rate-v4-intl-rate-v2-official-support-thread/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjwilson Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 I'm having problems with the USPS module too, I have osCommerce v.3.0.2. It doesn't work. I submitted a bug report and haven't gotten any response or any solution to the problem. My customers place an order and no shipping is charged at all. The Post Office sent me this letter: "Your profile has been updated to allow you access to the Production Server. You can now access live rates and other information in your Shopping Cart. 1. The Production Server URL is: http://production.shippingapis.com. For APIs calling the secure server, the URL is https://secure.shippingapis.com. 2. There is a line of code that refers to "shippingapitest.dll". You'll need to remove the word "test". If you are using third party software and need assistance, please contact the vendor of the software. They should be able to assist you in obtaining live information using our APIs." The code used for osCommerce's plug-in says: You will need to have registered an account with USPS at http://www.uspsprioritymail.com/et_regcert.html to use this module. That URL (http://www.uspsprioritymail.com/et_regcert.html) is no longer valid. I need assistance, according to the post office I should get it from osCommerce, but I've been going round and roung and nothing.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
♥kymation Posted February 7, 2012 Share Posted February 7, 2012 osCommerce 3.0.2 is not ready for use. Delete it and install 2.3.1. You also don't need to sign up for an account with the USPS as you already have one. Regards Jim Quote See my profile for a list of my addons and ways to get support.

devoidofodors Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 Anyone who wants the quick fix to USPS First Class Domestic shipping for USPS Methods 6.1, PM me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
devoidofodors Posted February 18, 2012 Share Posted February 18, 2012 try changing the 'First-Class Mail Parcel' to 'First-Class Package Service' in catalog/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php . You may also need some code in your checkout_confirmation.php file. Use this piece of code on your checkout_payment.php within the <body> tags to see if you're actually getting quotes for First-Class: <?php print_r($quotes) ?>. You can comment it out if you need to with some html comments if need be (then you'll have to check the source code). otherwise, it's show up at the top in plain view for all of your customers to email and worry about. If anyone needs any help doing this, feel free to PM me. I did 5 osc2.2 sites running USPS methods 6.1 the past week. When this problem started, we called developers who were charging outrageous amounts for the little amount of work they would have done (understandably, this is a pain to deal with). Knowledge is power and some people abuse that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

EdHarmon Posted March 29, 2012 Share Posted March 29, 2012 Installed 6.1 tonight and I am not seeing Domestic first class options either. I tried to do this fix: 'First-Class Mail Parcel' to 'First-Class Package Service' but then receive the error message that the Service does not exist and then I lose Express mail and Prioity mail. Has anyone figured out why first class mail options are not working for domestic? I really want to have the first class mail option for some of my customers.

blweb Posted March 31, 2012 Share Posted March 31, 2012 Does anyone happen to know if module 6.1 works with the new Rates for V4? Web Tools integrator; As communicated first in May 2011, outdated versions of the Web Tools Domestic Rate Calculator API (Rate and RateV2) will be retired on March 31, 2012. At that time, requests to the Rate and RateV2 APIs will result in error message responses. If you are no longer sending requests to Rate and RateV2, please disregard this message. Integrators should migrate to the current version of the Domestic Rate Calculator API (RateV4). Technical documentation is available at https://www.usps.com/business/webtools-technical-guides.htm. Thank you for your cooperation. Please let us know if you have any questions or concerns. Regards, Web Tools Program Office Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krdito Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 I just noticed today that the USPS delivery time estimates are not displayed to customers on the checkout_shipping page, only the methods and their corresponding prices. The information is collected, though, because the delivery estimate shows up on the invoice. Any idea how I can get the delivery estimates to display on the checkout_shipping page? They were there a week or so ago, so I don't know how they have suddenly disappeared. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krdito Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Please disregard my previous post. It was apparently an issue with the USPS as all delivery estimates are once again displayed, although I did not make any changes. :wacko: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hallelujah! Thanks to stumbling on post #1233 in this thread http://www.oscommerce.com/forums/topic/146950-contribution-usps-methods/page__st__1220, I finally got the damned First Class option to not only display properly but also follow through the checkout successfully. I run a heavily modded site, 2.2 and what seems like a million shipping options! (most of which are just outdated, unused and halfassed uninstalled, if you know what I mean....when you get something to work miraculously, you just want to back away from the code -- very slowly). The key was the code for First-Class™ Package Service. Seemed like other threads pointing out the 'service' vs 'package' vs 'parcel' yada yada were misleading or not compatible, or just wacked. Anyhows, here was my issues with 6.1 hopefully to save some other person hours of grief. I installed 6.1 (didn't bother with a) successfully, but the First Class rate was appearing, but without the title. The rate would appear, but when clicked to checkout, it would default back to the top option, whether it be Express Mail or Priority or whatever and customers would get charged for that service unknowingly. After struggling with the freakin' USPS naming conventions on my own, I stumbled on #1233 above, copied the piece into the usps.php from 6.1b (not a AND overwrote the one from 6.0), and it all works now. The rates are shown, correct, and when selected follows through the checkout process perfectly. ...what a nightmare for something so simple...

geomilli Posted May 16, 2012 Share Posted May 16, 2012 As with everything here, example and explanation isn't clear enough to get the results we need... so here is my attempt at clarifying what is needed to be done to update the shipping arrays in usps.php. In the contribution for USPS Methods 6.1, you should have a PHP page installed that retrieves an updated array from the USPS server. Type into the address bar "your host... /catalog/admin/USPS_methods_utility.php" The page will display the array that ...catalog/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php needs to be updated with. Below is just a snippet of the results you should see, do not use it. Run the USPS_methods_utility.php yourself, because most likely this array is likely to change. Utility to get all USPS shipping methods Copy the following two statements and paste them into function usps in the catalog/includes/modules/shipping/usps.php file overwriting the existing statements that set these variables. Remove the USPS module in admin and then reinstall it in order to make use of the new methods. $this->types = array( 'Express Mail' => 'Express Mail<sup>®</sup>', 'Express Mail Hold For Pickup' => 'Express Mail<sup>®</sup> Hold For Pickup', 'Express Mail Flat Rate Boxes' => 'Express Mail<sup>®</sup> Flat Rate Boxes', 'Express Mail Flat Rate Boxes Hold For Pickup' => 'Express Mail<sup>®</sup> Flat Rate Boxes Hold For Pickup', Open usps.php and replace the code completely with the updated array from the request. Uninstall USPS from your admin panel and then reinstall it. Unfortunately, you will have to redo all of your settings... but it should be accurate and complete.
