Hallelujah! Thanks to stumbling on post #1233 above, 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 (most of which are just outdated, unused and halfassed uninstalled, if you know what I mean....when you get something to work miraculously, you just want to back away from the code -- very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...

I did too at first, then I replaced it with one of the other usps.php modules and it worked. Can't say why it worked or why it didn't work before, but I would try that and see what happens. 6.1b may be good, or even that code from above pasted into your usps.php from 6.1a may fix something. Yes, it is quite frustrating to say the least because when I got it at first, I never figure out the issue, so just installed another one, filled it out in admin, and it worked.

Thanks for the contribution. I'm having a little difficulty on the "if" insertion section.

My modules.php file is:
-------------------
if (tep_not_null($action)) {
switch ($action) {
// {{ buySAFE Module
case 'buysafe_save':
-------------------

This code, as included in the contribution, does not exist in my modules.php file

-------------------
if (tep_not_null($action)) {
switch ($action) {
case 'save':
while (list($key, $value) = each($HTTP_POST_VARS['configuration'])) {
-------------------

Can anyone help with this? Am I using a too-old OSC version for this contribution or...

I'm using OSC V2.2 RC2

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>&reg;</sup>',
	  'Express Mail Hold For Pickup' => 'Express Mail<sup>&reg;</sup> Hold For Pickup',
	  'Express Mail Flat Rate Boxes' => 'Express Mail<sup>&reg;</sup> Flat Rate Boxes',
	  'Express Mail Flat Rate Boxes Hold For Pickup' => 'Express Mail<sup>&reg;</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.
