2016.02.29 - version 4.3.2
* Fix - First class large envelope sometimes does not retu a rate.

Did you test by any chance? I just tried it and still not getting a rate for large envelope.

I'm having the same issue.

Is there a fix or not? Should I just get Stamps.com from WooForce? Does theirs work properly? I'm losing business as we speak over this issue.

In a pinch (which it sounds like you're in) you could use the table rates extension and just set all the various rates for each country group for first class int'l large envelope. Probably take you an hour or so. I can only get first class package int'l to show up, even with the latest version. I haven't tried using the box packer, I just have it set to the weight option. I will try setting up a box and report back..

This is ridiculous really...thank you for the help. So, I would have to set it up for each country in the world...geeze. Do you know if the Stamps.com from WooForce would work for what we need? I don't mind paying $69 if it works.

No, not each country, each country group. USPS divides the world into 9 groups.. But for example, it's divided into groups 1, 2, 3 and 6-9 Go here: https://www.usps.com/business/prices.htm
click the downloadable files tab and get the XLS or CSV file for Flats – Country Price – Groups 1-9

I don't want to ship from it, we use ShipStation for that.

ship from what? I'm just telling you how to get the rates for the country groups, so you can set up table rate shipping

Hey MDC2957,

No, I have not tested it. I do not personally use the plugin, but I have a couple of clients that do, and they only ship to the US, so they have not run into the same issue.

Does the work around I gave you before still work?

Do you mean

// go through each box foreach ( $this->boxes as $box_key => $box_val ) { // set the key for the box as its name, then remove the original key $this->boxes[ $box_val['name'] ] = $box_val; unset( $this->boxes[ $box_key ] ); }

I did not try that as of yet, my site still isn't live so I just set it all aside for a while. First I might try making a box size with the large envelope max size, and then make all my products with a 0 depth and maybe that will work.

Have you found a fix yet? I still have not. Woocommerce isn't helpful. Is the Table Rates extension an additional plugin that will work with the USPS? I followed your link to the USPS Inteational rates and see the charts for the breakdown of shipping groups. BUT, for the life of me I can't find a list of countries by group so that I can designate them properly or does the Table Rate extension do that automatically....

So in over my head....

I haven't messed with the shipping for a while, busy working on other aspects of the site. No, table rate shipping won't do country groups automatically. I had previously found a list of countries and their group numbers but I don't know what the link is on the USPS site at the moment. I'll see if I can find it for you.

This gives you the prices. Even though there are 9 groups, you only have 4 pricing tiers because 3-5 and 6-9 are considered 2 tiers.

These show which countries are in each group:

Thank you for your response. Yeah, I've been busy too...and I found a small fix for sales I was doing where they could only get one item so I just adjusted the Inteational Flat Rate amount for that one item. But, this is a lame fix for us. If it only takes an hour or so I might as well just do it. Will the table rate extension allow me to set weight and size and then choose "letter" or "large envelope" according to the sizes and weights in each products profile?

Geez, I couldn't find that, thank you! Is there an excel file that can be dowloaded so that I can filter the countries by the group number instead of in alphabetical order by country names?

I'm not sure, but maybe you can copy and paste the data into an excel file and then sort? You'll have to play around with it. Or perhaps call the USPS, although they're usually not much help.

Try what I said in my previous post:

First I might try making a box size with the large envelope max size, and then make all my products with a 0 depth and maybe that will work.

That's what I'm going to do next. If that doesn't work, I will try Jesse's suggestion about modifying the code..
