 How can I have multiple Shipping methods for my products? For instance, I would like to offer both UPS and USPS shipping on my products. I have already enabled both UPS and USPS shipping quote methods, but only UPS quotes come up in the checkout page. What happened to the USPS quotes? Where did they go? Help please....Thank you

I have already enabled both UPS and USPS shipping quote methods, but only UPS quotes come up in the checkout page. What happened to the USPS quotes? Where did they go? If you enable JUST USPS, not UPS, do you get USPS quotes? If no, your USPS is probably not set up properly. Follow the steps at http://www.ubercart.org/docs/user/312/usps_web_tool_shipping_quote_settings closely, especially the one about telephoning USPS and getting your API key authorized for their production server. If things still don't work, turn on the quote debug output and post it here.
also, are you wanting USPS methods or quotes, or both
Adding a shipping method of USPS can be done, I think, without the automated quote tool that grabs a quote from USPS via the internet, are you wanting that automation, or are you wanting to simple let someone choose to ship by USPS, but the shipping is flat-rate or weight based or something?
Re: also, are you wanting USPS methods or quotes, or both
Well, with doing what TR pointed out, it wouldn't give a quote OR an option to ship USPS. I understand now though, I had not gone through all the steps. Thanks for your help guys!
Just flate rate for Some of my products
Mike, Your mistake may be a window into my solution. I have a store with a good bit of products that we want to ship USPS priority flat rate envelope, and other products that we cannot offer USPS priority shipping for due to their irregular shape. Ideally I could set the shipping method based on the product, or the packaging, but I do not believe ubercart 1.x provides for this. (As a side note, it appears the shipment type field was designed to allow for exending ubercart to provide shipping of freight, hazmat, etc.) but it seems that some access to adding types here, and setting shipping methods based on the package type would be a great feature and provide a huge amount of flexibility....but I digress) Is it accurate to say that if I want to have Product A, B, and C ship by flat rate only, and product D, E, and F ship by USPS or UPS, I can do that, or will flat rate and USPS and UPS show up for all products (orders)? Thanks all, Johnny
JohnnyKickball- Apparently
Johnny- Apparently there is some mysterious Workflow-ng method of reconfiguring Ubercarts shipping system, however it has eluded me for almost 6 months now. The word on the street is that Ubercart can be configured to allow different shipping types such as 'flat rate' to individual products, and while no one has ever showed me how this is done, if this solution does indeed exist, then I imagine you could configure the system to enable or disable which products are or are not available through your stores different offered shipping methods. This is definitely beyond my scope of Ubercart Mike
Solution: specify shipping methods/services per product
BigMike, Johnny, This functionality does not come with Ubercart. I released a module yesterday that adds this functionality and need some testers. You can find the module at http://drupal.org/project/uc_product_quote. Please use this only in a development environment at this time.
TR... Well, this is
TR... Well, this is embarrassing. I did not catch the part regarding calling USPS. Thank you for pointing this out. I just called them and it is working now. That's what I get for skimming through countless pages all morning long. My bad! Mike |
