[SOLVED] Tips for setting up USPS module for T-shirt store?


Recommended Posts

I'm somewhat new to e-commerce and Prestashop but have reasonable web, HTML, and PHP editing skills. I just installed 1.4.6.2 with no issues. I have everything in order (I think :unsure: ) except the configuration of my USPS module. I have added one t-shirt to products list to start so I can get it set up properly before I start adding more. I have entered the weight of the shirt in the product edit page. Not sure if and how I should enter dimensions. I have heard people on t-shirt forum suggest using tyvek envelope for shipping one shirt. I'm not sure how things will work if people order multiple shirts since that will mean a bigger box will be needed. As of now when I enter 1 shirt I'm getting certain prices from USPS rate calculator. When I add more shirts to order, prices are not changing. I've also changed the weight of the shirt and the pricing remains the same. I'm sure I am missing something or doing something wrong. This is all very confusing to me with all the different shipping options. I would appreciate any help on configuring the USPS rate calculator module and any tips from people that ship t-shirts in the US. I'm sure I haven't provided all the necessary information so just let me know and I will reply asap with any info needed. Thanks in advance!

I think that the problem was I was doing a test ship from one town to a neighboring town so apparently up to three shirts (which is what I tested to) is about the same price...it makes more sense now that someone far away tried it. As far as me changing the weight of the shirt and it still being the same, I'm guessing the web browser still had the original weight in the cache? Just a guess. But it seems like all systems are go. Thank you much for taking the time to test it out Mike! Clearly I'm a newb. :facepalm:
