Install OK on my zc153 test server. For once, remembered to Remove/upload/install.

I still have to double check settings but I didn't realize there was such a rate increase.
0.1 lb product, 0.1 lb tare
Online pricing
$0.75 domestic handling fee
$0.75 First Class package service additional handling fee

First class package service $4.30 test server vs $3.84 production server
Small FR $6.85 test server vs $6.00 production server.

The "changes" do not necessarily control the prices ... those are the new changes to prices coming up ...

I also noticed that they are quite an increase ...

Just did a bit of reading. Yep. Domestic 10-15%. International 20-23%. Ouch.

I realize the plugin doesn't control the pricing. Just wanted to put that notice out there just in case there was a hiccup. Should have paid a bit closer attention to the rate increase notices.

Thank you for keeping track of things and keeping the shipping flowing.

So there has been a number of testers on this, how about some feed back for Success or Problems?

I need to release this Sunday January 17, 2016 ...

I installed it and everything but priority international works for me.
Domestic orders show an option for the customer to choose first class or priority.
International shows an option for first class only.
I have priority set up the same for both domestic and international.
I am using 1.5.4
