I'm checking it out and I don't recommend changing those weights from their default, since those are the maximum weights that USPS accepts. There appears to be something funky going on with the International F/R small box.

... and there is. For whatever reason, USPS is not returning an International Flat Rate Small quote; that's why it's not showing up. For the medium/large boxes quotes, you'll need to take your Tare settings into account when offering USPS international shipping.Quote:

I use the 2nd decimal weight to prevent creating that weight window. 0-1.50, 1.51-3.00, 3.01-7.00, etcQuote:

Unlike some of the other shipping services, USPS returns all available shipping methods for a given weight and destination. The logs that I've reviewed have not returned any Small Flat Rate Box quotes.Quote:

I think this has been an issue in the past and the fix was to use actual dimensions. A few minutes ago, I changed the dimensions in my setup to 9.5 x 1 x 5.5 and international sm fr quotes disappeared from the displayed choices. Actually, International First Class also disappeared.
Changed back to actual sm fr size. 1st class and sm fr quotes reappeared. FWIW: I am still using USPS Version Date 2017-09-16
Using these dimensions, an 0-1096 box is still allowed to be used as an alternative packaging to sm fr International ONLY
Rick, are you referencing the Domestic and International Minimum Length x Height x Width settings?

Those default international dimensions have been incorrect for a very, very long time. I've validated that changing the International Minimum Dimensions to match the Domestic Minimum Dimensions does, in fact, result in an International F/R Small Box to be quoted.Quote:

You don't know how hard it was to force those brain cells to trigger from a session with Linda (ajeh) years ago and once changed in my setup, the settings tend to never be looked at again.
I think at that time, the USPS API actually had the 9.5x1.0x5.5 inch dimensions in the docs.
