In reply to: [WooCommerce] Flat rate overwriting UPS during multiple product checkoutNot knowing your setup etc., I’d suggest that this is working correctly, however, incorrectly based on your requirements.
WooCommerce has the ability to show multi-party shipping service providers during the checkout phase, such as FedEx and USPS, at the same time based on the whole cart.
What WooCommerce won’t do is be able to split certain products to be shipped via specific shipping providers.
This isn’t really a WC or PayPal issue.
It’s more to do with WP and its CRON that schedules things to be done.
If you are having issues, I’d suggest that you do one or both of the following;
1. Replace the internal CRON with something more reasonable. See this example – https://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/how-to-replace-wordpress-cron-with-a-real-cron-job
2. Use an external SMTP for routing emails. I’d recommend using something like SendGrid. They have a plugin so it’s a fairly simple process to get it working.If you only want to do one of the above, then do the second.
Cheers

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Woo-commerce – shipping costs problemsI’d suggest that you look at providing a shipping service that will give your customers a real view of costs vs. a ballpark cost. This can be achieved by many plugins out there, just make sure they include a box packing solution.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] What happened to the USPS Shipping Method?I mentioned this a little while ago also.
I’m hoping to shed some light on the confusion here. We are the original developers of the majority of WooCommerce shipping plugins that we sold via their store.
We’ve transition our extensions and support from WooThemes to our own store which can be found at http://www.extensionworks.com.
WooThemes have built their own extensions.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] What happened to the USPS Shipping Method?@dax702 – I went into a little detail about this to you about 1 month ago. But please allow me to add some extra commentary around this now since some things have evolved.
Some the from before
We have invested a lot of time into our shipping framework and also a new service for intelligent packaging, called Cubica.
And now for the extra pieces.
– Adding Zone Restrictions; which will ensure more granular service selection for specific situationsLike most software developers, we are open for hearing about your thoughts on how to improve things.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] What happened to the USPS Shipping Method?@dax702 – According to change notes for USPS, they have changed the shipping method names.
Actually, in the new USPS version, the method name is returned by server. This means if the server (API) changes the method names, our method names should be changed.
Our older version did have fixed method names in the code, however new version will fetch the method names from the API.
If you don’t see the postal method, that means the method is unavailable.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] What happened to the USPS Shipping Method?@dax702 – I responded to this point a few weeks back…
@dax702 – I believe this will have no effect on our code as we request the rates, either standard or commercial via their API.
Just to add to this…
No PRICES are hard coded in our extension/plugin.The extension sends a request to the API and the API (USPS) will then send back the rates. No changes are required for this.
From what I can see from your comments is that the real issue is how the calculations are occurring rather than the actual rates themselves. I do agree that this is the important part for the plugin to get it right (or close to). I feel our extension does a very good job at it. We have invested a lot of time into our shipping framework and also a new service for intelligent packaging, called Cubica.
Just remember, there are limitations for all shipping services, including USPS – i.e weight, size (dimensions), girth etc.

In reply to: [WooCommerce] Add state to checkout/calculate shippingIf you are wanting real-time costs to be displayed then you will need an shipping extension/plugin from that shipping service.
