Ubercart USPS error message

Question

I have shipping quotes with USPS enabled, and I turned on debugging information so I can receive the request/response information:

API=RateV3&XML=

It looks like the response is fine, but I'm not getting an actual shipping quote on my page after asking it to calculate. Instead I get the error "There were problems getting a shipping quote. Please verify the delivery and product information and try again. If this does not resolve the issue, please call in to complete your order."

If anyone has any information why it would still show an error, I would appreciate the help.

Answer 1

Did you figure out a solution? I was getting a similar response and I was able to clear it up by selecting different shipping options. It seems in the usps shipping module the First Class Mail Parcel and the First Class Mail Flat options are set to values that don't correspond to shipping rates.

this is on a Drupal 6 site.
