I am trying to test usps in my checkout. For some reason (some setting I'm sure), the weight isn't being picked up. I do have weights in the system for all products, and i do have my zip in the store address. USPS just wants a weight to return the quote and doesn't seem to be getting it.

when i hit the "calculate shipping cost button, i get this error message:

Please enter the package weight.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
-2147219500DomesticRatesV3::clsRateV3ValidateWeight;RateEngineV3.ProcessRequestPlease enter the package weight. 1000440

what am i missing here?

please help as i'd really love to get this up and running!

thanks!

I seem to remember this coming up before, but not until beta 5 had already been out. Try getting the latest dev version from http://bazaar.ubercart.org and see if that fixes the problem.

I upgraded all my modules from the bazaar snd it fixed shipping, but I'm getting this error everywhere now (even after downgrading back to where I was) - how can I fix that?

Did you run update.php? You should at least check for database changes there every time you get new code from the Bazaar repository.

No I didn't - I couldn't find any info anywhere on what to do when upgrading. How/where do I update.php?

Nevermind - I found it. I'll upgrade and give it another shot!

Will this keep my database changes for the store or will I have to reset everything?

As a general rule, you should back up your database, but usually things go pretty smoothly. If you've made changes that the update was going to do, you will probably see error messages, but they're harmless. (Can't add a column twice, for example.)
