Maybe you didn't activate right options in the configuration, maybe the weights or the size of your products are wrong configured. Like that, I can't tell you more that these ideas.

Your configuration looks good. It is possible that the problem described in the other thread can be the source of your actual problem. I am not the expert of the USPS plugin, Mohamed is our expert and he will be available Tuesday. Before this day, we will continue to investigate on this problem so, do you know the size of the weight of the cart you are testing ? Do you think it will be possible to us to have an access to your website so we can see your configuration (size, weights, etc) and make some test in the front-end directly ? (you can send us such private information by private message or using the contact form). Regards, --- Jerome - Obsidev.com HikaMarket & HikaSerial developer / HikaShop core dev team.

Per the USPS webiste, it's just under $30.00...but on my site it came up to $78.00. I went on to my site to pull screen shots of the products that the person purchased...and I think I just found the problem. One of the items was listed as 12lb...it should be 12oz! hahaha...I just tested it and it's working pretty well now...but the pricing is about $10.00 over what it should be. Do you think it's the setting I originally changed? If so...I should increase that number a little more right? --- **Owner** - [ Aries Games & Miniatures](https://www.ariesgamesandminis.com) Please [Log in](/login?return=aHR0cHM6Ly93d3cuaGlrYXNob3AuY29tL2ZvcnVtLzI4LXNoaXBwaW5nLW1ldGhvZHMvODYyMzg4LXZlcnktaGlnaC1pbnRlcm5hdGlvbmFsLXJhdGVzLWlzc3VlP3RtcGw9bWFya2Rvd24=) or [Create an account](/component/users/registration?Itemid=101) to join the conversation. - **[Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile")** - [![Mohamed Thelji's Avatar](https://www.hikashop.com/media/kunena/avatars/resized/size144/users/avatar6861.png)](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile") - [ Offline](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji) Less More - Posts: 12953 - Thank you received: 1778 - - - 13 years 1 month ago [\#125699](#125699) by [Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile") Replied by *[Mohamed Thelji](/forum/user/6861-mohamed-thelji "View Mohamed Thelji's Profile")* on topic *[VERY high International Rates issue](/forum/28-shipping-methods/862388-very-high-international-rates-issue#125699 "-- www.ariesgamesandminis.com -- HikaShop version -- : 2.2.1 Starter -- Joomla version -- : 2.5.14 -- PHP version -- : No Clue -- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome 29.0.1547.76 & IE 10 When a person tries to order something internationally, the shipping charge is INSANELY high...more than double what it should be per the USPS website.
