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As communicated first in May 2011, outdated versions of the Web Tools Domestic Rate Calculator API (Rate and RateV2) will be retired on March 31, 2012.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

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.

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 (most of which are just outdated, unused and halfassed uninstalled, if you know what I mean....when you get something to work miraculously, you just want to back away from the code -- very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

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.
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.

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.
