Hello,
I also tested it and I'm also having that error starting 6 products in my cart.
As it's said on the error message, your package is too large for the USPS international services, so the solution can be to only set the weight on your product and not the dimensions.

Hi, The package weights less then 5 pounds and the box size is 8x8x4 inches. That,s too big for international service?

Hi,

If USPS tell you so, it should be the case.
The best is to see with USPS, the plugin is just a bridge between your store and the USPS API, it send the cart details to the USPS API and display what the API return.
But we will perform some test, in order to know if we got the same kind of problem in our side.

Regards,

Hi I am still having having problems with this issue. Please see the attached images. Hikashop declares no shipping available however if i put the same information on the USPS web site it gives me several rate options. 25% of my orders are international so this is a big problem for me.

Hello,
The USPS shipping plugin is only sending to USPS your order product weight / dimensions and then just displaying the rates/prices that USPS gave to your USPS shipping plugin.
So the solution will probably be to directly contact USPS about their API.

Hi, Works fine with opencart and prestashop? Hikashop uses a different API? I believe the problem is related to the way hikashop is calculating the dimensions of the product. For example if the product is 5x5x1 inches, if i add 5 items to the cart hikashop makes the total package dimension 25x25x5 inches and sends that to the usps api. In reality five items that are 5x5x1 inches will fit in a box less then 8x8x8 inches. What do you think?

Hi,

I see that I put two times the node "Container" ; one should be commented.
I fixed the package in my previous post.

Hi, getting the following error. Even if it is only one item in the cart.

USPS error: -2147218043 Unable to calculate international postage. No services available. According to the dimensions entered, your package is too large to be mailed

Failed to obtain shipping quotes.

Hi,

I made an adjustment on the processing of the girth ; in order to be sure that the length is the highest value between the three.
In the plugin, under the line Code:

$parcel-&gt;Girth = (($parcel-&gt;Height + $parcel-&gt;Width) * 2) + $parcel-&gt;Length;

I pasted Code:

var_dump(array( 'l' =&gt; $parcel-&gt;Length, 'w' =&gt; $parcel-&gt;Width, 'h' =&gt; $parcel-&gt;Height, 'g' =&gt; $parcel-&gt;Girth ));

In order to have some debug data.
For my product 14.5x1.75x0.004 in ; with 4 products in the cart I got Code:

array (size=4) 'l' =&gt; float 14.5 'w' =&gt; float 1.75 'h' =&gt; float 0.016 'g' =&gt; float 18.032

Which looks normal regarding the documentation or other instructions that we can found on the Internet.
[ www.ehow.com/how\_8237197\_calculate-girth-usps.html](http://www.ehow.com/how_8237197_calculate-girth-usps.html)

After that I retrieve the USPS test account we got, configure it with activating all shipping services, in "parcel" mail type and "variable" container.
The plugin gave me some quotes for the 4 products in my cart and the prices looks "good" and not illogical for a shipping in the same state.

So, with the data I got from you and with the latest version of the USPS plugin (I updated once again the plugin in the previous post), I got something which looks good.
If you have still troubles with that, please provide some data which will help me to reproduce your configuration in my test website.

Regards,

So is there a new plugin or do we need to do this manually? I am dealing with this issue right now.

Installed it. Selected First Class Mail (International) and Priority Mail International (International) but still the same errors:

Message
USPS error: -2147218043 Unable to calculate international postage. No services available. According to the dimensions entered, your package is too large to be mailed.

If I change the address to a US with the same size envelop the error goes away.

Hi,

I am sorry but we fixed the issue for the package size calculation.
At this moment if USPS tell you that the package is too large to be mailed for the international it is maybe because the size restrictions are not the same.

Hello,
As Jerome said :

> we **fixed the issue** for the package size calculation.
> At this moment if USPS **tell you that the package is too large** to be mailed for the international it is maybe because the size restrictions are not the same.

The USPS is only sending your order shipping details to the USPS plateform and then displaying the USPS plateform response.
So in your case the best solution will probably be to contact USPS.

So please tell me what issue you fixed and what settings I need to set to make international shipping work because I still have the issue. .

Hello,
1. Can you download the last Hikashop version through our website, install it and test it again, so that we can be sure that you HAVE the fix that we made regarding the calculation of the dimensions/weight that was sent to USPS.

2. The only solution will be to reduce the weight/dimensions of the products that are sent.
