  Dear BrickLink sellers in the United States,

We have removed these outdated API-based shipping methods:
• Domestic USPS First-Class Packages (retail),
• Domestic USPS First-Class Packages (commercial).

Starting from today, you will be seeing the following shipping methods in your
Store Settings instead:
• USPS Ground Advantage (commercial),
• USPS Ground Advantage (retail),
• USPS Priority Mail (commercial),
• USPS Priority Mail (retail).

As usual, you can access the new USPS rates for Courier API methods upon selecting
each method in the Rate Chart.

Thank you,
The BrickLink Team

Looks like this change removed the method I was using to do automatic invoicing
for packages under 16 oz (since First-Class were restricted to 16 oz or less)
and manual invoicing for all others. I've poked around on the shipping methods
page and can't figure out how to get that working again. Any suggestions?

Note that the First Class shipping method I was using also automatically changed
to USPS Ground Advantage, which let an order I would have manually invoiced through
and cost me ~$4 in shipping fees beyond what the customer paid. At least I know
why it happened now.
