Possible bug in USPS extension in version 1.4.4

[Heemet]

Hello,

I recently upgraded to version 1.4.4.  Thanks to everyone who worked hard on this new version.

I installed the new USPS extension, and I have noticed there are two bugs:
1.) The only shipping options that appear are Priority Mail, Priority Mail Express, and USPS Ground Advantage.  See screenshot in attachment 1.

These are the only three options despite all shipping options being selected in my configuration, except for USPS Ground Advantage (more on that below).  See screenshot in attachment 2.

2). Note that USPS Ground Advantage is turned off in my instance of the extension.  If I turn it on, USPS Ground Advantage appears twice in the shipping estimate as a shipping option.  See screenshot in attachment 3.

I tried a fresh installation of v. 1.4.4, and I noticed the same bug.  My error log is clear.

Thanks!

Hello,
Thanks for reporting this and for testing the new USPS extension in 1.4.4.
Regarding your first point: Bound Printed Matter, Media Mail, and Library Mail are special USPS package services with additional eligibility requirements. They are included in the extension for merchants who specifically need to ship those types of products, but they will not appear as options for regular products in the cart.

As for the duplicate USPS Ground Advantage option - we are aware of this behavior during development. It seems to be related to how the USPS API currently returns Parcel Select services. In some cases, USPS is returning Ground Advantage under both Parcel Select and Ground Advantage, which results in a duplicate entry. Unfortunately, this is not something we can control on the AbanteCart side. The workaround is to disable the Parcel Select method in your extension configuration, which should prevent the duplication.

We always advise contacting USPS support directly to consult about available services. Please let us know if they provide more details or if they add new services for regular products, so we can keep the extension aligned with their offerings.
Thanks again for your feedback and for helping improve the extension.
