Hello everyone,

I'm sure you're here for the same reason that I am: Your USPS shipping rates and options are no longer appearing on the checkout page of your site since the new rates went into effect today (Jan 2, 2011).

I've been surfing around and it appears that pretty much every e-commerce software is affected by this.

Any head-up on a fix from those who know how to do these things? Or is it a glitch on the USPS side? No one seems to know.

Let's get the discussion started so I can actually start selling items again!

Yes, we have the exact same problem.  Nothing shows up under shipping methods as of today.  I am hoping that some one will help soon!  With all the live sites not able to do shipping I am shocked that everyone isn't on here freaking out.  I know I am!

PLEASE SOMEONE HEEEELP!!

lowmips posted an update to his USPSv5 module that fixed the problem for me in post #284 on this page: http://forum.virtuemart.net/index.php?topic=46784.msg264054#msg264054

I installed v4.2.1 and it works fine except that it won't display First Class Mail Flat.

Hi - I am having difficulty with this step:
Copy over the new files into the "/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/shipping" directory.  These include 3 files:

uspsv4.cfg.php
uspsv4.php
uspsv4.ini


Specifically I can not find this

/administrator/components/com_virtuemart/classes/shipping

Nothing appears if I enter that not can I navigate in that order.  Is there a different way to get there?  Thank you

Me again OK - I found

All I need to know is how to copy the files here.  Thanks!

Hi. I am using Joomla 1.5.22, and Virtuemart 1.1.6.  I am getting the following error:

"Notice: We are unable to obtain any USPS shipping methods at this time, please choose from one of the following shipping methods."

I am using USPS Shipping module v4.2.2 from Park Bench Systems.  I've verified that the corrections for the code is installed.  I'm not sure what to do now to resolve my problem.

Thanks for any and all help.

Hi guys.

I've fixed my own problem.  I had placed "http://" in the USPS Shipping Server path.  Once I removed that, it started working fine.

Thanks for anyone who may have started looking into this for me.

Have a great day.
Ben
