RateService.Domestic (and International) set the minimum weight to 0.1D. It should probably be something less than or equal to 1 ounce so that the 1 ounce First Class rate is possible. Is a minimum weight even required for First Class? Current Code: If pak.Weight < 0.1D Then pak.Weight = 0.1D End If
Suggested Code:
If pak.Weight < 0.0625D Then pak.Weight = 0.0625D End If

Andy, There is a maximum weight for first class mail, 13 oz. You also need something for when over 13 oz-don't show first class as an option. By the way, how is your shipper for SP2 coming along?

Hello Bob,
SP2 checks the maximum weight correctly.
My updates for SP2 are coming along swmmingly. There were a few changes to the core between SP2 Beta 2 and final that I am incorporating. I should have my updates available shortly. |

The current version of Shipper Service for BVC5 does work with SP2. I think Bob was actually talking about my Shipping Rate Provider Suite which requires some changes for SP2. I have some changes queued up for Shipper Service for BVC5 that will be released soon, but they are not specific to SP2. |

Andy,
I have my site configured with first class mail. I still get values for weights over 13 ounces. Keeps going up as weight increases. It's more than Priority. Does it work for you?
Thanks,
Bob

Bob,
No I do not get First Class quotes for items that weigh more than 13 oz. I also stepped through the BV code and confirmed that it will not return a first class rate if the product weighs more than 13 oz.
Note that the BV code checks the single item weight (i.e. product weight). For example, if you have a product that weighs 13 oz. and you order 3 of them, you will get a rate quote.

Hi Andy, I'm hoping you can help, we haven't shipped since Wednesday. :)
When trying to connect, we're getting an error about the web.config file containing an extension that is causing a problem. |

Thanks Andy,
This does not make sense to me. If an item weighs 7 ounces and someone buys 3 of them, the weight of the box is 21 ounces. First class should not be an option.
I have magnets that weigh 4 ounces when shipped. One can ship via first class. Someone just bought 20 of them (80 ounces), it should not have first class as an option.
How can I fix this. Should be based on total weight shipped to an address.
Thanks,
Bob

Angela,
Try re-installing Shipper Service for BVC5. Be sure to copy *all* of the files to the web site...including the web.config file that goes in the services folder. If you are still having trouble, send me an email with info on connecting to your site so that I can investigate.

Bob,
I'm only the messenger. The US Postal Service provider is written (and supported) by BV Software. You will need to talk to them about the logic.
You could use my Suite to implement a rule so that checks the total item weight (i.e. "When Total Item Weight > 0.8125, Use Parcel Post; Otherwise use First Class.").
