How to enter ounces: USPS?

[Guest tlingit]

I'm running CC3.0.5 and using the USPS shipping module.

I have some items that only weigh a matter of ounces.

This is probably a stupid question, but how do I enter ounces in the product description.

It asks for input in pounds, but if I enter something like 0.5 and try to process the order, I get this message from USPS:

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<RateV2Response>

<Package ID="0">

<Error>

<Number>-2147219503</Number>

<Source>DomesticRatesV2::clsRateV2ValidateWeight;RateEngineV2.ProcessRequest</Source>

<Description>Please enter a valid weight in pounds.</Description>

<HelpFile></HelpFile>

<HelpContext>1000440</HelpContext>

</Error>

</Package>

</RateV2Response>

Thank you in advance.

Have you installed my updated USPS shipping module? It takes care of the lbs to oz conversion for you as well as letting you easily pass the USPS's tests so you can be setup to go live. There's a pinned link to it at the top of this forum.

Well is there a secret to entering ounces to a product. First class cant be over 13 ozs. so how do I enter it in the product window?

I know there is someone who can explain this. Im using version 3.0.18 and I would think it is as current on shipping modules as it can get.

How on earth do you enter ounces in the Product Weight?

Oh fudge. you cant link pics here.

8 ozs is .5 of a pound, etc.

Does not work. Tried that.

First Class enabled

No matter if you pick "Letter", "Parcel", or "Flat" when you check out you get this "Failed to add the package".

Works fine for the shipping by weight module which is what I use. No clue on the usps one.
