USPS plug-in not calculating correct rate in 2.4.0

Hello,
Can you give me more information through some screensthos for example about :
- the issue that you are having when using the last version
- the way you configured you shipping method / product

No error is displayed. It just displays the same rate for every order regardless of the destination, products, weight, quantity, etc.

It is always returning $4.54 for First Class Mail. I'm not sure where it is getting the number.

All other methods work fine.

I just tested it on my end using the last Hikashop version, can I have a temporary back-end / FTP access to your website so that I can directly check and test it ?
You can send it through our contact form : www.hikashop.com/support/contact-us.html
Thanks.

Information sent for access.

Hello,
The priority mail seems to be correctly updating (the first class mail wasn't displayed), also note that your issue can be coming from the fact that you have just set a weight and no dimensions for your products. Can you test it with product which have weights and dimensions ?

The site is currently using the old 2.4.0 plugin code.

The problem occurs when running the newer code from 2.5.0.
This is a live site, I cannot leave the problematic code in production.

First class isn't always available, depends what product and where you are shipping too.
The Stool exceeds the First Class weight limits so it shouldn't show First class.

I've entered them on the stool and tried it with the new code and it does work.

However these are all custom handmade products so dimensions constantly vary.

Also with multiple product orders are bundled into a single box which size will vary.
You cannot expect dimensions to always be available/exact on a per product.

My guess is you are forcing the dimension to be sent (e.g. 0x0x0) which will cause a problem.
USPS own site doesn't require dimensions unless you select large package.

And from what I've tested with setting the dimensions on the stool product doesn't impact the cost from USPS regardless if I use 2.4.0 or the newer code.

Thus why the old code works with reality.

Hello,
In that case can you edit the "usps.php" file of your USPS plugin and change the line :

$package = $this->getOrderPackage($order, array('weight_unit' => 'oz', 'volume_unit' => 'in', 'required_dimensions' => array('w','x','y','z')));

$package = $this->getOrderPackage($order, array('weight_unit' => 'oz', 'volume_unit' => 'in', 'required_dimensions' => array('w')));

OK, but I get the same effect by just leaving it with the older 2.4.0 code.

Any reason for the change to always send that information?

I'm stuck modifying this with every update, which is no better than where I'm at now.

I'm going to guess this will come up again with someone else where submitting dimensions just won't work.
It might be worth considering making that an option inside the plugin.
