In Suggestions, DEREKFST writes:    I voted no and will always vote no unless there is an opt out clause. Over half my orders especially OS are sent as letters which means a 20mm maximum thickness. Without the ability to do that which no automatic checkout I think could handle I will lose most of my OS orders as soon as they fill the cart and realize the minimum postage is a 500gm parcel with rates starting at AUS $10.25 going through $20.85 depending on destination with most including the US and Europe in the higher range. Similar but not as bad domestically with the parcel rate starting at AUS $6.95 for a 500gm parcel but still half of my orders are sent as letters. As an example today I shipped 10 orders from the weekend, 1 x OS letter, 6 x domestic letters and 3 x domestic parcels. Unlike say the US with 1oz, 2oz etc parcel rates without the ability to ship via letter rate I might as well close up shop. Thanks Derek One of the cons with countries with letter, large letter, small parcel, medium parcel and large parcel rates.
