You probably made that edit in ./cgi-bin/library/modules/ste_chkout.pl.  You could make the limitation edit in the same file, or you may find it easier to edit the USPS perl module directly.  That module is file ./cgi-bin/modules/Business/USPS.pm.

Your edit would be in the routine 'handleconnectint'.  Look for the lines:

###

@return_servicedet = ($return_service,$return_postage);

push(@return_service,<@return_servicedet>);

###

And change to:

###

if ($return_service ne "XXX" && $return_service ne "YYY") {

@return_servicedet = ($return_service,$return_postage);

push(@return_service,<@return_servicedet>);

} ######### End of if statement.

###

Change the XXX, YYY, ZZZ to the service names you wish to exclude.

I have tried to make the edit you suggested in USPS.pm and nothing seems to change. Below is my modified code. Was I naming the services incorrectly?

Thanks, for this and all the other help you've given me.

Got another one for ya.

Is there a way to add a label to a service postage?  The dilemma is that when a customer orders 4 shirts the weight is light enough to qualify for:

Global Priority Mail - Flat-rate Envelope (large) - $9.00
Global Priority Mail - Variable Weight Envelope (single) - $18.00

Now there is no way to stuff four 6-ounce cotton shirts into a flat rate envelope so we need customers to select the "variable weight envelope" option.

My idea is to add a small text label to the end of the flat rate service name like this:

Global Priority Mail - Flat-rate Envelope (large) - $9.00 --TWO items or less--

Is this possible?

Hello Nick,

I've been making some changes to our business and recently switched over from UPS to USPS on all shipments.  Also started shipping international. 

I wanted to limit what options customers had for international shipping, and found this thread while reading in the archives and implemented the changes.  Worked great.... archives sure are a great thing!

Now I'd like to fine tune things a little further....

I'd like to have some sort of IF/THEN that is based on order value.  For example, I'd like to do something like:

IF order total (products only) less than or equal to $50, THEN offer BOTH Global Priority - Variable Weight AND Global Express Mail (EMS).

IF order total greater than $50, THEN offer ONLY Global Express Mail (EMS).

Reason for this is because for lower value shipments, I'm willing to risk shipping international without tracking ability.  There is no tracking available for Global Priority.  However, for higher dollar orders, I want the ability to track and verify delivery, and so that's why I'd like to only offer Global Express Mail for these shipments.

I figured it would probably be 1 or 2 lines of code to add, but I'm not sure how to do this properly since I am "programming challenged".

Global Priority is only good for 4 lbs or less, but I expect that this IF/THEN logic is already embedded in the Postal Service routine that returns the options to CCP.

Thanks again Nick!  You offer outstanding support for CCP!  Not sure how you keep up with it all... you must be very busy at times!

Thanks Nick.  I made some code changes but came up with a Script Execution error.  Here's what the code looked like when the error appeared...

if ($tracking_total >= "50" && $return_service ne "Global Priority Mail - Variable Weight Envelope (Single)") {

@return_servicedet = ($return_service,$return_postage);

push(@return_service,[@return_servicedet]);

} ######### End of if statement.

} ######### End of if statement.

} ######### End of while statement.

I did add the following code at the same time, but later removed it to see if that affected the Script Excecution Error, but it didn't make a difference...

if ($return_service eq "Global Priority Mail - Variable Weight Envelope (Single)") {

$return_service .= " 5-7 business days";

} ######### End of if statement.

Any ideas of where I might have went wrong?

Appreciate your help,

Edward

Instead of using $tracking_total in the if statement, change that to $main::tracking_total.

No problem.  Sorry - I forgot USPS.pm was written using the strict pragma, so we needed the full package name there for the global variable (or we needed to remove use strict;).
