I am using FedexWeb services and it works well for the most part. We wanted to add ground to Canada so I set Enable Intl Ground to true, but I don't see results. I called Fed-Ex and talked to tech support. We ran a test and he said that they returned a ground rate, but only the international economy and priority rates showed up.

Jim, Will this add-on work with v2.2 or only 2.3? Thanks, Steve

Jim, Do you think this code would correct the issue we are having? If so, I am willing to donate to the cause if you would let me know the cost. I know you are busy, and you get paid to do this kind of thing. I am happy to pay to help expedite the process. Best Regards, Steve

Hi Kevin, The weird thing is that it works most of the time. We run 100-150 orders per day, roughly half are USPS shipping, and we end up with a handful with this problem. Sometimes we go weeks without it occurring.

Thanks Jim. The first response actually generated the quotes properly. I am using the latest version. It is the one that a.forever put up this morning. As far as the second one, I have a few questions: 1. Am I the only person this happens to? 2. If the shipping shows up at checkout_shipping is there any reason that the mod has to resend the request to the USPS at checkout_confirmation? 3. If it does have to resend, is there a way that I can prevent the customer from checking out if there is no shipping method listed (other than u:) at checkout_confirmation? Thanks again for your help. This used to happen rarely, but over the past week it is 4 or 5 times a day and increasing in frequency. Best Regards, Steve

Jim, I updated with a.forever's last version of the mod and my first class is working again. I am still having the problem with shipping showing up as u: in the checkout screen. It seems to be random, but only happens when a customer chooses USPS as the shipping method. Here are two emails from the mod. The first is from when the customer checked the rates and the second is at checkout. Keep in mind that the checkout_shipping screen allows them to choose the USPS method. It is the confirmation screen where it seems to get dropped. 10:51 AM Request: API=RateV4&XML=<RateV4Request USERID="xxxxxxxxxx"><Revision>2</Revision><Package ID="0"><Service>STANDARD POST</Service><ZipOrigination>30276</ZipOrigination><ZipDestination>55008</ZipDestination><Pounds>0</Pounds><Ounces>15</Ounces><Container>VARIABLE</Container><Size>REGULAR</Size><Machinable>TRUE</Machinable></Package><Package ID="1"><Service>PRIORITY COMMERCIAL</Service><ZipOrigination>30276</ZipOrigination><ZipDestination>55008</ZipDestination><Pounds>0</Pounds><Ounces>15</Ounces><Container>VARIABLE</Container><Size>REGULAR</Size><Machinable>TRUE</Machinable></Package></RateV4Request> Response: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <RateV4Response><Package ID="0"><ZipOrigination>30276</ZipOrigination><ZipDestination>55008</ZipDestination><Pounds>0</Pounds><Ounces>15</Ounces><Container>VARIABLE</Container><Size>REGULAR</Size><Machinable>TRUE</Machinable><Zone>5</Zone><Postage CLASSID="4"><MailService>Standard PostRM</MailService><Rate>5.87</Rate><SpecialServices><SpecialService><ServiceID>9</ServiceID><ServiceName>Certificate of Mailing</ServiceName><Available>true</Available><AvailableOnline>false</AvailableOnline><Price>1.30</Price><PriceOnline>0</PriceOnline></SpecialService><SpecialService><ServiceID>1</ServiceID><ServiceName>Insurance</ServiceName><Available>true</Available><AvailableOnline>false</AvailableOnline><Price>2.10</Price><PriceOnline>0</PriceOnline><DeclaredValueRequired>true</DeclaredValueRequired><DueSenderRequired>false</DueSenderRequired></SpecialService><SpecialService><ServiceID>13</ServiceID><ServiceName>USPS TrackingTM</ServiceName><Available>true</Available><AvailableOnline>true!

Thanks Jim!

As of Friday afternoon, (not exactly certain what time) my USPS domestic first class mail stopped returning rates. The International first class is fine. Has anyone heard of an issue with this over the weekend? I also have a second issue that I have had for years, but no one else seems to complain about. It seems to be random, in that we may go weeks without the problem and then have it happen a couple of times a day for a week then go away again. Basically a customer chooses the shipping method at checkout. We believe we have narrowed the method down to USPS Priority. They enter the credit card information and continue. When they get to the confirmation screen the shipping method shows "u:" with no costs. The customer can finish the checkout, but the system does not charge for shipping. In the back end of the cart the shipping shows as "u:" We have checked to see if any products were shared between the orders that have this issue, but they do not. Also, this has happened using various USPS mods over the years. I am just wondering if anyone else has ever experienced this? Thanks!

I downloaded this usps.php file that was posted over in the V4,V2 thread, and it works with 5.2.2. I do not know if it work with 6.1. I just removed the USPS in admin, uploaded the file and reinstalled USPS, filled in the blanks and it works perfectly. I am using Parcel, Priority, Express, and Int'l Priority. The quotes work. The handling fee works. The names show up correctly including the trademark symbols. I hope this helps some other folks here. Thanks Jim!

Hi Jim, I installed this update. Just so you know, it works with USPS methods 5.2.2 as well. The only thing I can't get to work is Show Intl Regulations: but I haven't had that before anyway. Thanks, Steve

I am not getting any international rates. Has anyone figured this out?

I was using a different USPS mod until today, but since the 5.2.1 version of this has been updated so it will work, I added it to my cart. I now have USPS again! I do have a problem in that on my shipping estimator and checkout shipping page the trademarks show as ^® and ^™. The install notes seem to give the fix for this, but it did not work. Here are the instructions and my results: I do have shipping estimator, but I checked shipping_estimator and shipping_estimator_popup and didn't find anything even close to: <td class="main" width="75%"><?php echo $method_data['title']; ?></td> I searched my entire site in DW and could not find it. This I was able to do. This I was able to do. So the only change I was unable to make was to the shipping estimator. I am running a heavily modified version of 2.2-MS2 on PHP5.2.8 if that helps. I am no coder, but I can generally add the mods in and figure out the issues, but this one has me stumped. Thanks in advance for your help.

Does anyone know of a mod in checkout_shipping.php that would allow the page to work properly, showing the other shipping methods when a problem occurs with web services? In other words, instead of a blank page, it just leaves Fed-Ex off if the server does not respond within a given time?

Thanks MrPhil, I looked around my other ot_ files based on what you said. After function calculate_discount($amount) { global $customer_id; $od_amount=0; $query = tep_db_query("select customer_discount from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . $customer_id . "'"); $query_result = tep_db_fetch_array($query); if ($query_result['customer_discount'] > 0) { $od_amount = (round($amount*10)/10)*($query_result['customer_discount']/100); } I replaced return $od_amount; with return tep_round($od_amount,2); That seems to have fixed it. I will check it over the course of a few days. If it works, I will update the add-on.

I installed customer_discount_v1.1 in my heavily modded cart. It was a simple install and works great with one exception. When it calulates the discount, it always rounds up to the nearest penny, but the total is apparently rounding properly. This causes an error when I import to QB. As an example, I have an order: Sub-Total: $948.70 FedEx (Ground Home Delivery ---Approx. delivery time THREE Days): $75.86 VIP Discount: $142.31 Total: $882.26 The actual discount is $948.70 x 15% = $142.305. As you can see, the discount module rounded up instead of down. $948.70 + $75.86 -$142.31 =$882.25 not $882.26. Although this problem could theoretically be fixed in a couple of ways, my preference would be to modify the ot_customer_discount.php file to correct the rounding error. Unfortunatley, I do not know what I need to change to correct it.
