USPS v5 - Bundled and Unbundled shipping

[Bill Watkins]

Thanks Reggie!

I am using medium flat rate box, and am looking for a way to mod this so i can allow bundles of 2 for each box. IOW, I want every 2 items to ship separately instead of every 1 item.

Check out my UPSv2 code.  It has a stacking feature that would allow you to stack the same product with itself.  Maybe you can modify that to allow stacking different products.

Unfortunately, I didn't get the notice of the upcoming change. The V5 module stopped working this morning.

Anyone working on updating / resolving the change today?

[lowmips]

The notice said "May 2011".  Are you sure it wasn't a scheduled downtime, or something of that nature?

I don't think it's scheduled downtime. I have your USPS Shipping module v5.2010.04.05 installed on 3 sites and they are all returning system errors. The Cart Shipping Rates (USPS) 1.0.2010.04.05-USPSv5 plugin returns nothing on the front end when submitted.

I'm using v4.2 on my site and the same thing is happening.

Many e-commerce sites are experiencing the same issue with USPS today since their change.

I made a separate thread about it here: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=79911.0

Can you get me a full debug output? I'm looking for the XML input/output.  Email it to me if possible please.

Reggie,

I just email my XML input/output to you as well.

Thanks for checking it out!

They've changed the service names again.  It's a matter of determining the new names and updating the config code to match.

Sent a donation your way. =)

[lowmips]

OK. As far as I can tell, they simply added a "registered" symbol to the end of every service name.  I've updated both the module and the plugin to support this extra entity.  I have tested it locally and got several rates with the new names.  I've updated the files attached to this post, and I've also updated the files on my website.

*** Update: VirtueMart is having issues with file attachments. You can download the updated files from my website. ***

You'll want to go into the config, save it, and then reconfigure it again and save it again for the new names to take effect in your module.  You can simply uninstall and reinstall the new cart-rates.

I appreciate the donation, and if anyone else would like to donate simply paypal it to my email address.  Thanks!

Hi Reggie -

Thank you for your work. Can you provide a link or pointer as to where on your website the update is and/or the filename?

I can't seem to find an update for USPS on your "Free Software" page newer than April, 2010.

I updated the config files in that latest release.
