Cart Resolves to "Free Shipping!" if UPS module fails to return non zero value?


Recommended Posts

I have just discovered that on my website, if a customer enters an address that the UPS shipping module, does not return a sum, for, the cart offers Free Shipping!

 

Not good.

 

For example, the town of Inuvit, in the Northwest Territories, their web contact lists:

http://inuvik.ca/contact/

 

 

 

Town of Inuvik

Box 1160, #2 Firth Street, Inuvik

NT X0E 0T0

 

When I use this as an address, my cart does two things:

 

1. Offers Free Shipping

2. No longer shows the tax as a separate entity in the Cart Summary

 

You can try it live on this site:

The actual cost of shipping my product (140 watt panel) to Inuvit, as calculated manually at UPS is about $250.

 

How can we force a failed UPS calculation to then cancel transaction?

This is totally unacceptable.

The UPS module is actually far more broken than this thread eludes to. In fact, if the UPS module sends an incorrect address to UPS, and returns with a zero value (or error), it resolves to "Free Shipping!" and allows purchase to be made.

 

There are FAR too many critical bugs in 1.5.3 for deployment.

 

I suggest usage as a catalog, at this point. It cannot be trusted for deployment.
