Did it feel good? FedEx is very good at it. But, they are not as good at it
as UPS.
Here's the short course in using Priority Mail.
shipping.asc has got have entries in it for Priority. Here is mine:
uspspm Priority Mail weight 0 0 e Nothing to ship!
uspspm Priority Mail weight 0 150 u PriorityMail [value
name=zip filter=digits default=22306] {}
uspspm Priority Mail weight 150 999999 e @@TOTAL@@ lbs too
heavy for Priority Mail {}
That is actually 3 lines, and the columns are tab delimited.
My zone table 220.csv, has had a column added to it called 'Priority Mail'
which matches the second column in shipping.asc. In 220.csv I added a column
labeled 'Priority Mail' and populated it with the data in the first column
for UPS Ground. It seems pretty close.
My rate tables are in PriorityMail.csv. Someone on the list made them up and
posted them. Pattern them after whatever tables you presently have.
I think that you need a PriorityMail.csv.numeric. I've got no idea what it
is, or why. Just make it. Pattern it after comparable ones in that
directory.
Go into dbconf/default_db (in my case). Copy something else to
PriorityMail.dbm and edit it to suit the Priority Mail names.
And, finally, go into country.txt and make sure that you have a line like
this:
US US fdxg fdxb fdxa uspspm United States
^tab^ ^tab^ ^tab^
The order that those shipping methods are in will determine the order that
they appear in in the drop-down menu.
I also recommend going into catalog.cfg and adjusting mv_shipmode to
Priority Mail.
Go in to the Admin interface and apply changes. And, then restart the
server.
Maybe some of these steps are superfluous and unneeded. I dunno. I just know
that I've added a few shipping methods this way and it works.
I hope that it works for you!
