OSC V4 and USPS

[kellycoolkrafts]

Newbie Help Needed wit V4 & USPS Online

No matter what I try, any package (even local) at ANY WEIGHT calculates to $55.15   for Priority Mail

And Express is well over $100

Also does not give 1st class or any other...

I have uninstalled the entire OSC V4 and started over several times!   PLEASE HELP!!!

Oh and Yes, I did register account and included credentials,,,   If i remove it shows no options!

@Ivan Holbi could you please comment? 

[jimdanforth]

origin zip code maybe?

[kellycoolkrafts]

That's what I thought, but the module does not have any fields like this, just account info.  

Like I said, im new, but i believe this would be the warehouse address, but im not sure.

If I could hard-code to use my zip code that would work too.

Hi,

We checked it and it looks like everything works as it should from our end. Could you please provide us with the samples of the zip codes where the system does not calculate correctly in your opinion for us to check it further.

Best regards,

Ivan

[kellycoolkrafts]

ok, so 33411 (local zip code) says 54.90 priority mail for .06 Lbs

90011 (California) is $139.25

11572 (new york)  is $103.10.

This is obviously not calculating correctly.   Unless there is a setting that I am missing...

 

Thank you for any help...

[♥Smoky Barnable]

.06 Lbs is one ounce, perhaps some issue with product weight settings?

[kellycoolkrafts]

 

Weight does not matter.   I really want this all to read lbs, no kgs, but that is an issue for another day.

This still does not work.   UPS amounts change with weight.

USPS does not until it hits like 20#...

Does no-one else see this?  or am I one of the very few using USPS?

[kellycoolkrafts]

Very strange

 

[kellycoolkrafts]

BTW, as a newbie with this version, and NOT a professional programmer,  I really like V4!

If I could get the USPS to work, I would be live right away!

I would also be willing to pay someone to fix if necessary!

We will discuss this tomorrow as a part of the review meeting.

Hi,

We checked it and as far as we can see the product weight does matter. Could you please provide us with the right calculations in your opinion? Or if it is available please provide us with the USPS online calculator for us to check it further.

Best regards,

I SO APPRECIATE your assistance!

Site for calculating usps postage:

https://postcalc.usps.com

Here are examples:   Obviously this is calculating wrong...  

Two lb package from 33411 (florida) to 33411:   Priority= 9.55   Express= 28.15

 

1 Lb same origin/Destination:  Priority= 9.00   Express= 27.70

 

2 Lb going from Florida to NY:  Priority= 13.65   Express= 51.35

 

 

[kellycoolkrafts]

Also, up to 13 oz gives a first class rate as well

[kellycoolkrafts]

Also, where I said "weight does not matter", i implied that the weight did not have any do with the pricing i was receiving.  

The weight did not effect the price until at near 20 lbs or so.

 

[kellycoolkrafts]

Did we find anything?   

[kellycoolkrafts]

So it has been two months and no word on this module.   

Do we have any updates or expectations??

Really want to use my website!

Maybe I should hire a PHP programmer????

@Ivan Holbi do we have a solution?

@kellycoolkrafts in case we can not find a solution, hiring a developer may be a solution of course.

[kellycoolkrafts]

OK, so I hired a programmer and he found an error in the code:

Hello John, it was error on line number 99
$this->\_setWidth(15);
$this->\_setLength(30);
$this->\_setHeight(15);
$this->\_setGirth(55);

Should be
$this->\_setWidth(0);
$this->\_setLength(0);
$this->\_setHeight(0);
$this->\_setGirth(0);

 

Looks like this forced dimensional postage...

 

Still a small issue not getting first class back, but I have contacted USPS for guidance.

Hope this helps someone else with the same issues

Thank you for posting how you fixed the issue.

Too bad you had to wait months for a reply, only to be told to hire someone else to fix what should be working out of the box. This makes me nervous about using osC v4.

[kellycoolkrafts]

Agreed.

[MrMayberry]

Did you ever get this solved? Having the same trouble with some rogue amounts no matter what I change the weight to?

Where is the "origin address" located at?

[MrMayberry]

After some searching and editing it appears that the usps.php in (public_html/lib/common/modules/orderShipping) needs modified.

replaced:

     $this->_setWidth(15);
      $this->_setLength(30);
      $this->_setHeight(15);
      $this->_setGirth(55);

 

with:

     $this->_setWidth(0);
      $this->_setLength(0);
      $this->_setHeight(0);
      $this->_setGirth(0);

These are lines 99-102* in this file.

 

At least this gets it to update and change. Still researching if the amount being charge is correct compared to usps.com.

More to come.
