Just upgraded one of my clients' osCommerce sites to the latest suggested patch that kymation posted... However, I didn't get any results for domestic shipping... :/ My client only wanted to offer "1st-Class Parcel" and "Standard Post" for domestic shipping options. I saw the note above that Standard Shipping was only for live animals (WTF?), so I disabled that option, but no luck. When I enable all the domestic shipping options, only then did I get Media Mail, various Priority Mail, and various Priority Mail Express results. Convinced my client to add "Priority Mail" to their list... I also noticed that the transit times aren't being shown anymore, and there isn't a config option to turn it back on -- was this removed/disabled for some particular reason?

my client had some panic today -- whatever version of USPS we're using broke -- after some investigation, i noticed that the $server being used was set to 'stg-production.shippingapis.com' instead of 'production.shippingapis.com'... changing it back to the non-"stg-" server fixed the problem, but I have a feeling the problem will be back again on 27 January.

some of the output uses & to "preserve" the html entity, and some of the output just inserts the html entity... it's inconsistent, so i very much doubt that "view source" (with a whole lotta 's) is going to work better. fwiw, i repackaged the changes for 6.1b... unfortunately i don't have too much time/energy to fiddle with things this time around. so... * does anyone have a process (or have successfully) downgraded from 6.1x back down to 5.2? I'm actually quite surprised that no one has implemented a "self-correcting/self-updating" USPS module for osC... wtf do other shopping cart/eCommerce solutions do? kudos in advance to you, kymation, if you succeed in your quest (and i can just plug it in and not worry about breakage 2x a year...)

http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/487 *but* people (including myself) have had problems with first class domestic. personally, i'm waiting for http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/8327 to stabilize/mature a bit, and then i'll likely switch to that.

Yeah, I'm noticing that too. IIRC, First-Class Mail Parcel should be an option up to 13 oz... Not showing up here with orders of 7 or 8 oz.

I've just uploaded "6.1a", incorporating the Package -> Parcel text changes, and cleaning up some cruft that was in the 6.1 zip.
