Hello Jetta,

For a novice coder like myself, can you tell me which USPS rate v4 module I should install for an osCommerce version 2.2-MS2?

I installed and followed the instructions for "USPS Rate V4 Intl Rate V2", but my edited perferences in the Shipping Module admin page wouldn't stay (after clicking "confirm"), and this link (http://www.uspsprioritymail.com/et_regcert.html) was not good when I went to check on my USPS account status.

Thank you so much!

Matthew

Hey team,

Any idea on the error I'm encountering?

Thanks!

Did you follow the instructions provided in the readme.txt file? If so, you should have the following code under admin/includes/functions/general.php:

// USPS START
function tep_cfg_usps_services($select_array, $key_value, $key = '')

sorry I cant help.. trying to get this setup myself.. seems the site that the mod relies on is down..

Can anyone load this page ?

I am new to osCommerce - came from Magento and I will admit it has been a struggle. I only left Magento because my provider bases their usage on size of database files and Magento is about 43M out of the box, they allow 2GB, even their pro is only 3GB. Anyway, I was hoping to use the USPS mudule included in osCommerce 2.3.1, but after struggling with and only getting Libray Shipping to work that I gave up and went to Methods. Got that to work, but my primary shipping method, First-Class Parcel, wasn't populating the description. Again, after a long hard struggle I gave up and went to USPS Rate V4 Intl Rate V2 - v.1.7_1 with USPS Restrict Methods and just now seems to be working, but to be honest not sure if I am getting full functionality.
The only way I got this to work was to use the drop on top method, I am assuming there are a number of steps missing in the step by step instructions since the step by step didn't have some of the changed files included in the instructions and I wasn't in the mood to do a file compare - I've been at osCommerce for a month trying to get it where I need/want it. Paypal is now broken. Fix one thing, breaks another...on to my next struggle.

This has got me  scratching my head.
Using the old  USPS module that went dark we did not have this error.
After installling the module and emailing USPS, we get  rates  for Cont.  U.S.
But,
we only offer postal service to Alaska, Hawaii, APO and FPO addresses.
When running a test I get this error:
<Package ID="1">
<Error>
<Number>-2147219401</Number>
<Source>;clsRateV4.CreateSinglePostage-CreateSinglePostage;RateEngineV4.ProcessRequest</Source>
<Description> Error Information: The Destination ZIP Code you have entered is invalid.</Description>
<HelpFile></HelpFile>
<HelpContext>1000440</HelpContext>
</Error>
</Package>
</RateV4Response>
Address is:
APO, AE 09391

This is a valid US Postal Service Zip Code.
Any thoughts?

[Dennisra]

I believe there is a forum rule about posting the same question in multiple topics.

09391 is not a valid zip code.

[kymation]

The current USPS database says that 09391 is valid: it's assigned to Joint Base Balad in Iraq. Perhaps none of the services you have selected are available to that destination. You could ask the USPS what services are available.

Jim

[Dennisra]

Try it:
https://tools.usps.com/go/ZipLookupAction!input.action (By Zip Code)
It's not valid!

I have yet to proceed to the application_top.php, general.php and modules.php edits

tep_cfg_usps_services()

isn't being defined because you haven't finished the installation

[fulluvscents]

@vstick

Don't use the Restrict Methods contribution.  That is an add on for use in conjunction with USPS.  It isn't the USPS mod itself.

[fulluvscents]

@jdfitch

USPS already gave you the answer:

Error Information: The Destination ZIP Code you have entered is invalid

If you believe it is a valid zip code, then contact their technical center.

[cmcljpp]

Have been trying to resolve my USPS problems for weeks.  Had USPS methods installed for years but after most recent changes first class domestic disappeared, I applied all kinds of updates and it wouldn't resolve.  So tried this contribution and all domestic finally works fine but now my international calculations are down.  I get the following error(s):  Warning: simplexml_load_string() [function.simplexml-load-string]: Entity: line 84: parser error : etc.  So international rates are not showing at all now.

[rwest]

I have something happening that I need help with.  My USPS shipping rates have been working great since I installed this contrib at the end of March.  Today I wanted to go into admin/module.php, and all I got was a blank page.  To make a long story short, every time I try to access modules.php from admin, it throws the following error:

PHP Fatal error:  Call to a member function getAll() on a non-object in /home5/cascadec/public_html/admin/modules.php on line 17

Line 17 is this:

$modules = $cfgModules->getAll();

I don't know why this worked when I first installed the mod, but now I can't open my modules.php, or shipping  Can anyone tell me what this line is having a problem with?  I run a 2.2 shop.

First I must say, Jetta I really appreciate the plugin. It, thus far, has been great.

Now for the topic of my concern....

I can't for the life of me seem to actually make any changes to the shipping meathods... Every time I check mark, set the min or max rate, or change the handing price, upon saving it loses everything. I am seening no errors in the log and the oly fireld that is filled is the min value in the 1st-Class Lg. Env. It is, for some reason filled with the value "Array" and resets to that everytime I save my settings.

If it helps in teh main shipping modules I also get the following:
Shipping Methods (Domestic and International)
Array

Extra Services (Domestic)
Array

Extra Services (International)
Array

I am lost on what to do and would appreciate your (or anyones) help.

[wlmorgan]

Thank for the contribution.

There seems to a $6.00 minimum shipping charge.

If I have a 6 oz item it's $6.05. If I have 10lb item it's $10.00.

I only have parcel post selected with no handling charge at present.

thanks

Walter

[wlmorgan]

Never mind. I'm a dope:)

Great contribution. I finally realized that individual item shipping rates can be manipulated by using the min and max weights for each shipping method.

Sweet!

[mtmatthew44]

Hello folks!

The USPS module is mistakenly adding weight and therefore adding shipping costs. The problem is a workshop registration with a weight set at 0.00 which doesn't require any shippng.

When when a customer checks out they end up on the checkout_shipping.php page and the module is calculating rates based on 1 oz.

The module is acting like the product has weight even though it's set to 0.00 (I've even tried setting it to a negative number).

I've tried changing my tare weight to zero and editing the minimium weights in the USPS module but the problem persists.

Is this a database or product attributes problem? I would love to hear ideas for a possible solution. What's baffling is that I have some mp3s for sale on my site with a 0.00 weight that work just fine; they successfully go right through to the payment page.

Thank you so much!
