Anyone know how to ensure that the radio buttons for "Restrict Methods" remain saved when you reload the product edit page?

I set it up but when I try and do a test order, it tells me:

This is currently the only shipping method available to use on this order. United States Postal Service [img]http://www.stonerarms.com/catalog/images/icons/shipping_usps.gif[/img] An error occured with the USPS shipping calculations.
If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact the store owner.


It says I need to register with USPSprioritymail.com but I've been using USPS.com.....is that where the error lies? Any ideas?

@StonerArms

For what it's worth:

Sign up for USPS API tools here:
https://secure.shippingapis.com/registration/

USPS technical guides can be found here:
http://www.usps.com/webtools/technical.htm

If you haven't signed up for the USPS shipping APIs, do so. It's fast and easy. Once you get your username, enter it into the module and then call the USPS at the number included with your email. You will get to talk to a live person, ask them to switch you over to the production servers. At that point, you should be good to go.

I hope that helps!

OK, I got it all set up...now what do I need to do so I'm not typing in 30 different addresses every day? Can I set it up to automatically generate labels?

@StonerArms

Call the USPS at the number in the confirmation email. They have the ability to verify addresses in addition to generating labels. As for if and how that is available through this module, I am not certain.

Hope that helps!

Anyone notice a slow down over the last couple days in response/reply times when getting a rate quote on checkout_shipping.php or estimate shipping?

I don't have any clue why but it sure takes a long time to get rates.....4-5 seconds now since 1-2 last week

Hello All,

NEW question. Regarding the USPS Rate V4 Intl Rate V2 - v.1.7 module, when I'm in Modules -> Shipping -> Edit, toward the bottom of the list are extra domestic and international services that each have four checkboxes, one in each column, the column names are N, C, S, H.

The legend says:
N: Not Availble
S: Forced (Show)
H: Forced (Hide)

Aside from the typo (Available), where is the definition for the C variable? I see no mention of it and would like to know what C does.

Many thanks!

Sincerely,

DesertCoder

I had no such column after installing this contribution. It could be remnants of a previous USPS install.

Probably. There was an add-on that claimed to do this for osC v2.2. I've never used it since I mainly rely on PayPal Shipping. I also export my orders into Excel and import the address fields into USPS.

Sounds like your looking for USPS auto fill....to generate labels from the order details page?

That saves me hours a day!

I installed this into my oscommerce 2.3 and for some reason when I go to configure it, it won't save certain fields into the database.

I can change the fields to "true/false" and insert my USPS API username and those will save. But the shipping methods will not save to the database.

Any suggestions?

@fulluvscents..

Hello - has this been uploaded as a module yet?

Thanks

Ok, I admit it, I am stuck!!

I downloaded the module just today and followed the instructions TO THE LETTER!!  No problems with the installation and there did not appear to be any issues what so ever until I went to edit the USPS shipping module - then everything went south! (Well, not really, but it did mess up!!)

This is what the situtation is:

I am installing this to a virgin 2.3.3 cart. No other modules installed outside the ones that have been installed by the programmers.... So, I have the cart about 90% configured and working the way I want when I discover I don't have the shipping options that I need. So, I install the USPS module, but there are almost no options available there so I install this module. Installed with no problems as stated above.  However, when I go in the modules tab to edit the values that for the USPS shipping module - EVERYTHING that is on the right side of the screen disappears - I mean just gone!  The center portion of the window expands to take up all of the space on the right and SHOVES the configuration options all the way off the screen! There is not scroll bar along the bottom with which to scroll and find those options, its like they just got bullied off the screen!!

I'll attach a couple of photos to show you what I mean.....

Here it is, nestled all nice and snug along the right margin:  Here it is.png   80.55K   5 downloads
Now its gone, not under the computer:  Here its not.png   32.27K   5 downloads

What the heck is going on????
