I must be missing something. I have UPS and USPS as shipping options set up in control panel with USPS set as default. When I test purchase and get to the shipping selection page, there is no selection. Only UPS shows up and there is no other choice.Confused It appears as though only UPS is available.
 
Is it possible to use a 3rd party shipping realtime calculator which only requires HTML code be inserted? Here is a link to the one I'm talking about.

It seems quite complete, accurate and easy and inexpensive. I think it would be well received by customers.
 
Anyone done anything like this?

To use USPS real time rates, you need to sign up for USPS's web tools. This is free and fairly straightforward.
 
Look in the PC manual to see what you need to do. No need for a third party program. Once you get signed up with USPS, you just plug in your user name and password and the server setting.

Thanks Diaper Junction,
 
I am signed up and have the appropriate information in Control Panel but when I get to the Choose Shipping page, only UPS appears. I guess I'll submit a ticket on this.
 
I appreciate your response.

Did you contact the USPS and ask them to move you over to the production server? If you have everything entered and are on their production server, then definately submit a ticket. PC staff are very quick to resolve any issues and I'm sure you'll have it up and running in no time!

Diaper Junction,
 
You're a life saver. I didn't even see that sentance about moving to the production server. Just Old Eyes I guess Geek
 
It worked like a charm. Thanks for the advice Clap
