No answer yet. Still having the problem. I assume it's a bug, but I have no idea how to workaround it.

Yes, the problem is the same for both guest checkout and logged-in customers.

For testing, I changed the 0.00 to 1.00, cleared PS cache, cleared browser cache, and added something to cart. It still shows "Free" in the Delivery Methods, but the 1.00 did get added to the shipping in the Order Summary. I do use Advanced Stock Management, and this carrier is added to all Warehouses and all Products.

I created a local pickup option in Back Office > Shipping > Carriers for my customers to choose will call option. I enabled Add Handling Costs, so this option is not actually free. I have a free shipping voucher code in Cart Rules that allows them to wipe out the handling costs to $0 if they enter the voucher code. The problem is, it always says "Free" in the Delivery Methods section of the cart, even if I put $1.00 in the shipping costs for testing! This is different than the "Free Shipping" problem many people have described in the cart pages. No matter what I do, it shows "Free" in the Delivery Methods. This is WRONG! It should always show the handling amount, and even when I set a shipping amount (like $1.00) for testing, it still shows "Free". This is the only carrier that does this - all other carriers have prices. I am using one page checkout. PS 1.6.0.14. No carrier modules are used - all carriers were set up manually in the Back Office. USA-ZoneA is a custom zone with my local state - so this is restricted to in-state customers. The $2.08 in the Cart Summary is the added Handling Costs - that is correct. I want $2.08 to also display below in the Delivery Methods section as well, not "Free".

I did not find a fix. In the end I ended up uninstalling and removing the entire USPS module. It is so buggy it is unusable. I manually added First Class to the Carriers list and typed in the weight breaks and prices by zone by hand based on the spreadsheet from USPS website for Commercial Base pricing, and I added the rest of the USPS methods and rates through SQL from spreadsheets as well. A lot of setup work, but it is working great now. For rates, go here: https://www.usps.com/business/prices.htm, click on Downloadable Files, scroll down to First-Class Package Service®, and download the XLS corresponding to your rate class (Commercial Base or Commercial Plus). There are only 13 oz possible, so you only have to set up max 13 ranges. Since you are doing this manually, don't forget to subtract your package weight from 13, and shift the entire rates table up (so for example I use the 13 oz price for 0.75-0.8125 lbs. range to account for a 3 oz package weight). This is doable for First Class, Media Mail, and Library Mail, since these services are not zone-based. Zone-based services (Priority Mail, UPS, Fedex, etc) are more difficult, and probably required SQL.

I tried this on PS 1.6.0.14, and it was not working for me. For debugging I even set $taxratenew = (float)0; right before the return just to test, and it still calculated tax in the cart! I tried in both override/classes/tax/Tax.php and I tried modifying directly classes/tax/Tax.php just to rule out any override problems. Same thing - customers always have tax.

Has anyone gotten this working on PS 1.6? I am using 1.6.0.14 and this code does NOT work. Tax is always calculated, even if I say return (float)0; right in the first line of my getProductTaxRate override.

No matter what I do, USPS First-class mail is not showing up in the cart in Front Office. USPS Media Mail, Library Mail, Parcel Post, Priority Mail, Express Mail are all working perfectly. I am using the Connect to USPS v1.3.5 module on Prestashop 1.6.0.14. My settings and Things I have tried: I have uninstalled and reinstalled the USPS carrier module fresh (several times):Packaging Size: Regular Packaging Type: Variable Machinable: False Calculation Mode: All items in one package Packaging Weight: 0.5 lbs. My USPS Web Tools Id is enabled for Production. One-page vs. Five-step checkout makes no difference. First-Class Mail (2-3 days) [Commercial Rate] is enabled in the USPS module The corresponding Carrier ID is enabled in Backoffice > Shipping > CarriersMaximum width, length, height = 0 Maximum weight is set to 13 oz. (0.8125 lbs.) The product I am attempting to test with is .09 lbs shipping weight - 3 should fit in a single 0.5 lbs. first class mail box under the 13 oz. weight limit2.63" width, 2.63" length, 0.63" depth I am using Advanced Stock ManagementI have only one warehouse. All carriers are added to warehouse. All products are stocked in warehouse. Products do not have carrier restrictions (all carriers available) No matter what I do, First Class mail does not show up. In my usps_cache table, I see that the first class carrier Id for first class mail is coming back as is_available = 0 and total_charges = 0.00 each time a cart is refreshed. I have read just about every post on this topic and tried every suggestion I have seen, but nothing works. Please help! First-class mail is critical to my customers!

This is a great tip! It is amazing that this is not included in the module itself. In the UPS Module v1.3.5 there is a drop-down for Pickup Type that greatly affects the rates returned by the UPS API. When using your hack, which Pickup Type will result in the correct negotiated rate being returned by the API?
