I updated to USPS Methods 6.0 a while back, and all shipping options were showing that I had selected. Now now of the
First Class options are appearing on the checkout page.

Any ideas on where I should look?

According to my debug file, I am getting back three Package ID's, one for Priority Mail, one for First Class, and one for Parcel Post. These three are the only ones I have selected in the usps admin module to display.

However, all I get on the screen are Priority and Parcel.

Still looking for any ideas.........

We recently installed the latest version of http://www.oscommerce.com/community/contributions,487 and notice the same thing. First Class Parcel is not being offered even though the order weight is less than 13 oz.

Having spent several hours on this last night (experiencing the same issue), I believe the issue is related to USPS returning a rate of 0.00 (see below for returned snippet). The other shipping methods (Express, Priority, Parcel Post) all have a value returned for "Rate". At first I assumed this was some odd chracater mismatch on the string comparison like with past updates. However, it appears that is not the case here. I contacted USPS and they basically said look at the manual. Not much help. Can anyone verify my findings and perhaps get further than I did?

["MailService"]=>
string(61) "First-Class<sup>™</sup> Package Service"
["Rate"]=>
string(4) "0.00"
["CommercialRate"]=>
string(4) "2.99"

I have no experience with this particular version, but try changing your rates in admin from retail pricing to internet pricing, and see if that works. Something isn't being passed to USPS correctly, as it pertains to first class mail. USPS is returning a zero rate for counter rates, and a rate of 2.99 for commercial rates. if the mod gives you an option for commercial rates, you may be stuck with using that option until someone fixes the code to pull the rates for both.

After installing USPS Modules 6.1, all I had to do is modify some of the arrays in usps.php to include First Class Package Service. That worked, but now it doesn't carry over to the checkout_payment.php page. I understand I need to modify some code there for it, but I don't know what. If I figure it out I'll post, but it'd be nice if this was fixed ASAP. First Class is the most popular option since it's the cheapest.
