EricK Posted December 11, 2007 Share Posted December 11, 2007 I don't know if this helps with the Parcel post quotes being higher but I found two errors in the latest uploads of this contribution. Line 95 reads Thanks Christian, your change to line 95 posted above works like a charm! Regards, EricK Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creepo Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Using USPS Methods, the contribution gave an error for "France, Metropolitan". It failed to give a quote and came up with error: -2147219080 - Missing value for Country. I see several problems with this the last few years in searching, but no solutions... <_< The Country Codes are there: FX and FXX. Are these valid for USPS? Anyone at all have any ideas or a solution? Thanks for your help. RDB Same problem here - did you ever find a solution? Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
creepo Posted December 12, 2007 Share Posted December 12, 2007 Same problem here - did you ever find a solution? Thanks! OK, in usps.php, there is a function called country_list which has an array of countries. France, Metropolitan (FX) is not in that list. I've found very little info about this, but on the official usps site, I think what I gathered was that FR is the only valid country code for France. As I have loaded World Zones, I have a long list of States/Provinces for "France, Metropolitan" (FX). For the time being, I have simply gone into the countries table and changed the country code for France, Metropolitan from "FX" to "FR". From what I read, it sounds like "FX" is just the Paris Metro area. Not sure who included FX in the country list in oscommerce, but it's not valid to USPS. As soon as I made the change, my customer, without changing his address, was able to pull rate quotes from USPS and FedEx. Hopefully, they are correct. Hope this helps someone. I was scratching my head for awhile. J Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
olsonsp4c Posted December 22, 2007 Share Posted December 22, 2007 I don't know if this helps with the Parcel post quotes being higher but I found two errors in the latest uploads of this contribution. Line 95 reads if($shipping_pounds > 35 || $shipping_ounces < 6){ and it should read if($shipping_pounds > 35 || ($shipping_pounds == 0 && $shipping_ounces < 6)){ Line 280 reads default: $usps_server = 'testing.shippingapis.com'; $api_dll = 'ShippingAPITest.dll'; and it should read default: $usps_server = 'stg-production.shippingapis.com'; $api_dll = 'shippingapi.dll'; Ignore me if I'm wrong, but I think that the top line should help as it is part of the "ismachinable" test Thanks for the contribution and the updates to keep the USPS in line. Christian Thanks Christian, that fix worked on my website for more accurate parcel post quotes as well... the funny thing is that if you go to the usps website, their own code is messed up because it consistently quotes parcel post higher than priority mail as well. my guess is that they will eventually fix this and then the code will once again need to be modded.

olsonsp4c Posted December 28, 2007 Share Posted December 28, 2007 Just so it doesn't go unnoticed, the insurance rates for usps methods were not accurate - you should go correct them: USPS Insurance Rates Scott Quote Addons I've crafted: osC reCaptcha | Live Support phpOnline | Store Mode | Simple Categories Header | Authorize.Net Infobox Package Tracking Plus | USPS Flat Rate Shipping | USPS Shipping Insurance | RapidSSL Infobox Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
discxpress Posted December 29, 2007 Share Posted December 29, 2007 Hello all, I just installed the USPS shipping label contrib. Now I get this error during checkout. It worked fine before. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HSMagic Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 CoffMan!!!! Thanks for the fix. I use a free shipping module and rarely do people pay for shipping so I didn't find out there was a problem until today! Worked like a charm. I'm assuming that this also impacts the Global shipping options as well? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you prefer to use USPS as your shipping method, please contact the store owner. Waiting for email xml error. Thanks I am also having a similar issue where I get the error message stated above (sans the Waiting for XML error part). I do have log-in credentials with the USPS, though I am in the process of verifying that information now. However, I have noticed on my admin panel for the module the following information is displayed on the configuration screen. United States Postal Service You will need to have registered an account with USPS. USPS expects you to use pounds as weight measure for your products. Click HERE for registration details and instructions for proper usage.

In particular, I am noticing that the USPS Options, Domestic Shipping Methods, and Int'l Shipping Methods configs are showing the word "Array" instead of the actual methods I have selected for those. When I go in to edit these, all of the checkboxes are blank. The module never seems to actually save the methods I want to use. I'm thinking this is probably the reason for the error I'm receiving, and was hoping someone might have an idea as to what's going on. Thanks!

Okay, I went back through the installation instructions and found that I had not done a couple of steps. Not sure how I missed them, but I did. Now the arrays are saving the information properly. I'm getting the error above still, but I think it's because I'm awaiting verification from the USPS to have my newly generated login credentials changed for use with the production servers. I hope this will take place soon. Thanks!

drinkingbeer Posted January 11, 2008 Share Posted January 11, 2008 Does this print the labels automaticlly or just calculate the correct amount of shipping based on weight and zip code Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nellisw Posted January 12, 2008 Share Posted January 12, 2008 This contribution appears to be working fine in OSC and does work all the way through PayPal if my sale requires Sales Tax. When the sale doesn't have sales tax, the shipping gets dropped out of PayPal. The correct amount looks fine at check out and stays good up until the last step in PayPal and then the shipping amount doesn't get charged. Where do I look??
