I went through the changelog, and I didn't see anything in the RateRequestV4 API that should affect the UC implementation... But another set of eyes would be appreciated :).

It also looks to me like there is nothing that should affect us here, but USPS has a history of changing existing service names without documenting them properly, so let's leave this open until January 26 when the changes go live.

@longwave:

Do you believe the D6 implementation of Ubercart "should" also not be affected by this update?

Thanks

Correct - the USPS API usage in Ubercart 6.x-2.x and 7.x-3.x is identical as far as I know.

Version: 7.x-3.0 » 7.x-3.x-dev
Category: Support request » Task
Status: Active » Closed (works as designed)

No issues have been reported as a result of this change, so I'm closing the issue. If any problems do arise, please open a new issue with the details of the specific problem.
