asecaida Posted January 31, 2008 Share Posted January 31, 2008 I have the USPS shipping module working on my site, but some of the rates are off for heavier products. I contacted USPS and they said something is not right with osCommerce. I was wondering if anyone else had a problem with incorrect shipping cost. Also to note, its not just off but way off, I have a 12lb product that cost $15 to ship parcel but it gives a rate of around $6. -Thanks Quote Aldo Secaida Shopzilla/Bizrate Performance Tracker Code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

asecaida Posted January 31, 2008 Author Share Posted January 31, 2008 All my settings are correct, this is what it looks like. Country of Origin United States Postal Code 91723 Enter the Maximum Package Weight you will ship 20 Package Tare weight. 0 Larger packages - percentage increase. 0 Quote Aldo Secaida Shopzilla/Bizrate Performance Tracker Code Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tanle10 Posted February 24, 2008 Share Posted February 24, 2008 i am having the same problem using USPS Methods 2_9_6. I used media mail for a 1.75 lb item and it charged it $4.07, while taking the item packaged and to ship at post office it costed only $2.47. The rate is not correct somehow.

Guest Posted February 26, 2008 Share Posted February 26, 2008 My parcel post calculations are also incorrect. Everything else checks out with USPS online rate calculator. Any ideas? Using USPS Methods 2.9.6. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kimm Posted February 29, 2008 Share Posted February 29, 2008 Incorrect parcel calcs and defaulting to express mail with USPS methods 2.9.6. If your setting are correct then try this: I had like problems and I found this at http://addons.oscommerce.com/info/4129. I made the changes and it worked like a charm. Hope this helps. Good Luck! In November of 2007, USPS changed their api return code from lower case to upper case. We believe this to be an error by USPS which has broken thousands of websites. For this reason, we will only post the text method to make this change and not provide a file or direct db change because we anticipate that it may change back despite USPS assurances that this unannounced change is now permanent. In any case, for mvs, this is how you fix the problem: /includes/modules/vendors_shipping/usps.php change all cases of Express where is named ALONE, ie not Global Express Mail, to EXPRESS change all cases of Priority where is named ALONE, ie not International Priority Mail, to PRIORITY change all cases of First Class where is named ALONE, ie not First Class Mail International , to FIRST CLASS change all cases of Parcel where is named ALONE, ie not International Parcel Post, to PARCEL I can't list the exact locations for you because my usps.php file is changed, here is an example of a changed location OLD: CODE $this->types = array('Express' => 'Express Mail', 'First Class' => 'First-Class Mail', 'Priority' => 'Priority Mail', 'Parcel' => 'Parcel Post'); NEW: CODE $this->types = array('EXPRESS' => 'Express Mail', 'FIRST CLASS' => 'First-Class Mail', 'PRIORITY' => 'Priority Mail', 'PARCEL' => 'Parcel Post'); Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
linder60 Posted March 20, 2008 Share Posted March 20, 2008 I just found out I had the same problem. It was changing all shipping to express, people weren't continuing their orders. I followed the instructions to change everything to upper case and it is now working great. Thanks so much and have a great day, Linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
