cs-cart makes request for shipping methods to USPS

Store Builder Questions
1

I'm using cs-cart 2.1.1



I find in the logs that cs-cart makes a request for shipping to USPA but ask for 7 different shipping methods. I have the site set up so that us based customers will only have one possible shipping method depending on weight of order. During the call usps returns one (method BPM) as an error.

Speed of site does not seem affected, so I don't know if I should do anything.

I have posted a shipping request sample, which I tried to clean up a bit for readability.



Thanks for your thoughts,

David

If I recall, USPS does not take individual requests based on the type of delivery (I.e. Priority Mail). Instead, you submit a weight and destination and it returns all the applicable shipping methods. Cs-cart then finds a match (or not) in the possible methods and uses that as the quotation.
