USPS Module displays "free shipping" no matter what....

[Daretoprepare]

Been spending waaaaaay too much time trying to get USPS Module to work correctly. I have read other similar USPS module topics, but there were no REAL solutions to this stuck on "FREE SHIPPING" issue.

 

When UPS is enabled with the same settings and USPS is disabled, UPS shipping displays just fine. "Free shipping" is not displayed. This happens when signed out, and when signed in. It makes no difference.

 

Being a technical support guy, I have tried troubleshooting this by the following means:

PrestaShop™ 1.5.3.1 ( updated as this was happening in the prior PS version as well )

 

1.) read the forums first. I verified country/states/and USPS module shows "x" just as UPS does for "free shipping". Verified all settings are identical to UPS. - NOGO

 

2.) uninstalled/reinstalled the USPS module - NOGO

 

3.) DELETED module, re-added, then reinstalled - NOGO (after reinstall, duplicate USPS shipping methods. and still no problems like this with UPS)

 

4.) Tried to delete duplicate USPS methods and get the following Prestashop exception(even though weight is default "0"):

Property Carrier->max_weight is not valid

at line 837 in file classes/ObjectModel.php

 

5.) RINSE, REPEAT, FAIL...

 

Seeing as it is duplicating shipping types, I am beginning to think the module files are leaving behind prior information/settings.

 

What to do? Thanks in advance!

I have the same problem and it just broke in front of my eyes. I don't know... did you resolve this?

Daretoprepare, I hear you! This is ridiculous and frustrating!! I am still trying to figure this out myself. I got my USPS module to some what work. I want only 1 type of delivery service to have free shipping over a certain amount. (ie USPS Standard mail free if over 100$). Then if they select other carriers or delivery service it will be a charge of shipping. (USPS Standard free, UPS fee, USPS priority fee, Fedex fee). If below the $100 a huge list of carriers will appear and it will all list as free shipping.

 

Right now I'm stuck and have to offer free shipping for every product I have with USPS and just that one delivery service. Then the other USPS services will charge. But this isn't a fix!!

 

Where is Prestashop on this one?

Daretoprepare, I had the same issue with the Fedex module that may work for the USPS one, just uninstall the USPS shipping module, by going to Modules > Shipping and Logistics > USPS. Then make sure that there are no USPS carriers by deleting any within Shipping > Carriers. <= This one is very important! Finally reinstall the USPS Module by clicking on INSTALL under Modules > Shipping and Logistics > Fedex. Once it is installed reconfigure it and should be back in business. Unfortunately I do not know of an easier way. Edited July 17, 2013 by Zemis (see edit history)
