Jan Zonjee Posted October 26, 2006 Share Posted October 26, 2006 Any ideas why it wouldnt say 1 X 5lbs? Read the manual, look for Package Tare Weight, never mind about the weight units, this is for the osC 3 (still in alpha) the rest is still valid.

It's the Tare Weight in the admin panel under shipping ups edit Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
surjer Posted October 27, 2006 Author Share Posted October 27, 2006 thanks soooo much for the help - its up and running awesome now. Just a breif little history here.. I set out looking to add UPS to the store and had some troubles because from what I have gathered it was in OLDER releases but has since been dropped and not supported by OSC anymore. I found the XML thing but I am not actually doing the shipping the items will be drop shipped so I needed just to "quote" the customers so I wouldnt take the whole hit for shipping. I found this contribution and it only contains 1 php file which I assumed went into the included\modules\shipping folder. Well when I did that I kept getting errors and nothing looked right altho it was displaying shipping quotes. I then started looking at other shipping modules and realized there was suppose to be something under admin\includes\languages\english\modules\shipping\ So I opened up the USPS file and noticed that all it appeared to be doing was setting a couple variables like description and stuff like that. So I stripped it down and added the ones that I thought looked right and BAM it worked! I did notice that the quotes are a little on the high side. Does anyone have any idea why this would be? What I think should be around 9 dollars us in shipping comes out to be like 12 us. Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated..
