Re: Viking USPS Advanced

I just spoke with James, he estimates the fix for V5 in roughly 1 Hour.

What about Version 4.029?

Re: Viking USPS Advanced

I just spoke to James, they've got V4 working internally. It should be out soon.

Re: Viking USPS Advanced

We updated one of our clients to 5.034 and now the following methods are not selectable:

First-Class Mail® Parcel
First-Class Mail® Flat
Bound Printed Matter

They were check-able in the prior versions. Please advise. The client needs to use the "First-Class Mail® Parcel".

These methods were left IN the module so you could go back to past orders that used them, but they're no longer available from USPS.

Regards,
James

Re: Viking USPS Advanced

New updates have been published for BOTH v4c and v5.

One annoying display issue in the admin of v4c, but it doesn't affect functionality.

Thanks for everyone's patience here, and likewise thank you Rick for keeping the community informed on our behalf as we were heads down doing code!

Best,
James

Re: Viking USPS Advanced

Yea! My store is healed!

Thanks so much for getting this working! I know it was a huge effort.

But since we know this will happen again, I would feel a lot better knowing that a plan has been devised to avoid broken stores in the future...

Thanks again!

I hear you for sure - two things to note here:

1) the v5 module already had a feature built into it that was designed to allow remapping when this happens, but it was broken. We've fixed that.

2) USPS has an API change scheduled for May 2011. We should be able to make the module more compatible with name changes along with the API changes so this is more transparent, or even automatic where possible.

Best,
James

Re: Viking USPS Advanced

I have a problem with the 4.032 release. First Class Flats are disabled as well as First Class Parcel. I use both of these methods, in fact they are my primary shipping method for most orders. HELP.

Re: Viking USPS Advanced

I should add that both boxes are there the module just will not let me check them as methods used.

Re: Viking USPS Advanced

I just updated to v4.032, but the new category First Class Mail Package did not come up as an option. First Class Mail Parcel was still there, but doesn't work since the name changed.

I tried to remap the name, and the new "package" option replaced the old "parcel" option, but came in greyed out and unselectable. I tried reinstalling the module, but it's still greyed out. Actually, all first class options, with the exception of international, are greyed out? How to fix?? I need this option on my site.

Thanks,
Annie
