USPS Shipping extension

Hello, I usually use the UPS shipping module, but UPS has always been too expensive, so I wanted to use USPS instead. I went to the website and set up an account. I have all of my settings in place (I think) but again I am getting the error.

Unfortunately there are no suitable shipping methods available for your order. This may be because the total weight of your order is too high or we cannot ship to your country. Please contact a member of our staff for any further inquiries

See attached screenshot of settings. Any help would once again be appreciated.

This is a common mistake (caused 100% by the fact there is no documentation on how to set this up).

What you have is a USPS Merchant Account. Nothing wrong with having one of those.

But what you actually need is an account for the USPS Webtools.

Go here: https://www.usps.com/business/web-tools-apis/welcome.htm

Step 1 is a sign up. Once you sign up, USPS will email to you your USPS Webtools Username. This username is something USPS creates for you. You do not create it yourself.

Once you make a few tests requesting rates, you then email them back asking to put this username onto their "production server". This is explained in the email they send you.
