Title: Downed USPS servers--how to respond?
Post by: Stevia on December 13, 2008, 18:08:28 PM

Good morning.
While what little shopping season is in full bloom, USPS servers continue to fiddle. How are others addressing this issue, particularly if you are not a coder and new as a webmaster?

Thanks
Greg.

Are any of you, who operate internet stores, using the Postal Service? If so, what are you doing to work around the USPS server crash?

The only answer is to do it manually.

Disable the USPS in VM Admin|Configuration|Shipping and use 'Standard Shipping module with individual configured carriers and rates. RECOMMENDED !

You will have create Shipping|Shipper|Shipping rates.

Sorry, no other way around it.
