In the past we have only offered UPS shipping.
We are trying to set up to also offer USPS and have hit a point where we have a couple basic questions;
I understand that UPS won't allow options to be shown along with other (USPS) options. We are OK with showing Fedex + USPS but have been unable to get that to show. We have tried every combination of settings in MIVA imaginable.
For the sample item we are testing with we entered dimensions for UPSP use. We also checked (and unchecked) 'show online pricing' but Regional A and B boxes are not shown.
We increased the quantity of this sample product to be far too much volume for any USPS box but it continues to show choices including the Small Box which would only hold 1 or 2.
In MIVA 'Shipping Settings' under the tab 'Settings' there is a drop down choice of 'Pack by Weight' or 'Pack by Cubic Volume'. We have it set a t Pack by Wieght. If I change a screen comes up saying the by weight module will be discarded so we have not done that. It seems we have to choose between weight (UPS/FEDEX) and volume (USPS). Is it true we can't get both?
Very frustrated at this point. Will we ever get what we want to work. FEDEX for weight and distance and USPS for volume in MIVA? Have printed out the MIVA manual sections and virtually memorized. If not, is there a module recommended that would accomplish this.....and maybe even allow UPS / USPS? We're not back end computer experts but willing to trial and error to get stuff done but this has us stumped.
Thanks, David

one more thing - yesterday when we x'ed 'Show online pricing' I THINK Regional boxes showed - and I'm SURE it showed discounted USPS pricing which is not available to us....or old prices. This is not the case today. Any way to show current pricing once we get back to this showing?
