- 'Standard Post' does not return rates for zones 1-4 you need to have another method turned on.
- Addresses in the same state won't use 'Priority Mail 2-day' only 'Priority Mail 1-day'. Best practice is to label them both 'Priority Mail' so the customer doesn't know the exact method.
- 'First-class Mail Parcel' only works up to 13oz so you have to have other methods turned on for higher weight packages.
