Stamps.com shipping not giving correct rates

    Hello, I am a bit stumped. I’m trying out your plugin, using my stamps.com credentials. I have my test product entered with a weight of 0.213 lbs each, I also put dimensions of 10x8x4 inches. I added 10 items to my cart and am trying to calculate shipping. Origin zip code is 74037 and destination zip code is 74137 to test. I put this info into my stamps.com desktop app and the rates I get are $6.09 for Priority Shipping (First Class isn’t an option because it’s too heavy). The rates that are calculated from the plugin are:
    First-Class Mail?: $26.00
    Priority Mail?: $57.50
    First class mail shouldn’t show up because it’s over 15.9 ounces, but what’s more concerning than that is the (vastly) incorrect calculated shipping rates. I turned on debug and this is the first few sections of output:

    There’s obviously more but it’s very long, I figured it would be best to wait and see if you need the full body of the debug before flooding the page. Let me know what you think, thanks!

  • Hi rasoulezzat,

    The free version only handles Pack items individually. Shipping cost will be calculated for each item in the cart separately.

    When you add multiple items with each items weighing less than 15.9 ounces, plugin calculates the rates individually and offer First Class Shipping cost eventhough the total order weight is beyond 15.9 ounces.

    We recommend you to upgrade to premium plugin to have Weight based or Box packing options. The free version is best suitable when you have only 1 item in the cart or You would like to calculate shipping cost individually.

    Ok, I see. I planned on buying the Premium version to utilize the label generation feature, but only after I got everything worked out to see how I liked it and if it would work first.

    Is there a way to show First Class shipping when it’s under 15.9 ounces and not show it if the weight is over? If that’s doable, then the Premium purchase is an easy decision. Thanks.

    Hi rasoulezzat,

    Yes, you can show/hide shipping methods based on order total weight.

    However, First class rates are displayed only for items weighing 13oz or less. This is handled automatically in the plugin.

    We are not sure about the weight criteria that you have provided.
