At the beginning of every year, shipping carriers announce changes to their rates and services. FedEx and UPS have already implemented their 2014 rate changes, and the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is changing its rates on Sunday, January 26, 2014.
ShipWorks 3 customers will automatically see the implementation of most of the USPS changes, without doing a ShipWorks software upgrade. However, those shipping internationally that want electronic USPS tracking to the countries listed below (item #1), will need to do a software upgrade. The ShipWorks software upgrade to support the electronic USPS international tracking will be available on January 27, 2014.
Customers using the unsupported ShipWorks 2 and Endicia Dazzle will need to upgrade to ShipWorks 3, and should contact ShipWorks customer support for assistance with the upgrade.
Here are some of the key USPS changes that take place this Sunday, January 26. Please visit the links below for additional details.
