AFemaleProdigy Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 (edited) I am shipping very small packages and using USPS First Class Parcel. The pricing is measured in ounces. There is no option for ounces. So I have converted the ounces to pounds in decimal format. So 1 oz would equal 0.0625 lb. However, when I enter pounds in this decimal format in the shipping settings, it is not working correctly. When testing a order, the shipping is kicked to the highest available option as if it is out of range. For example: I made a test product with a weight of 0.0625 lb. Shipping should have been $2.07 for anything from 0 to 0.0625. Instead, it applied shipping for the highest weight option for that carrier. So the shipping was applied as $3.77 which is for 0.7501lb to 0.8125lb Are we not able to use decimals or fractions of pounds? What do I need to do to make this work? This is in 1.5.3.1 Edited March 28, 2013 by AFemaleProdigy (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted March 28, 2013 Share Posted March 28, 2013 hmm strange, it might be having a problem with the decimal. Weight is just an arbitrary number, just enter the oz's for things in whole. Enter all the weights in the shop in ounces. You can go to localization > localization and change the unit from lbs to ounces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFemaleProdigy Posted March 28, 2013 Author Share Posted March 28, 2013 I thought about doing that, but we also sell larger items as well, measured in lbs. I would like to keep it with lbs. You would think this software would be set up to accept decimals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AFemaleProdigy Posted March 29, 2013 Author Share Posted March 29, 2013 Anyone else have any other suggestions to get the decimals to work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dh42 Posted March 29, 2013 Share Posted March 29, 2013 Turn your debug window on and look at the output. It should output the weight and you can see if the decimals are getting truncated. I honestly don't see the problem in using ounces instead of pounds, it might be your only solution if you want things to work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitmess Posted August 5, 2013 Share Posted August 5, 2013 I'm having the same issue. Except I can setup several different products with the exact parameters and some will ship first class while others will ship parcel select. Am I missing something?

AskMeTooFast Posted December 31, 2014 Share Posted December 31, 2014 Thank You So Much PrestaShop Fanatic this totally solved My issue as well. I'm going to put oz in there. Then when i have products over into pounds I will just add the 16 ounces for each pound. Doing the Happy Dance Thank You! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PeggyPollice Posted March 18, 2015 Share Posted March 18, 2015 Hi, I have set up my shop's weight unite in ounces, however neither the USPS or the UPS module will accept ounces in their weight unite when configuring the modules, I get this error message: Connect to USPS: 'Weight Unit (LB or KG).' must be configured to use this module correctlyDoes anyone know how I can get around this? It would be crazy for me to convert all my light products into pounds as some only weigh 1/16 of an ounce. Any help would be greatly appreciated. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
