Announcement reposted from Amazon:
The United States Postal Service (USPS) Ground Advantage domestic shipping service is now available for your Amazon shipments.
This service consolidates the current First-Class package service, Parcel Select ground, and Parcel Select Cubic shipping methods into the following ship methods:
- USPS Ground Advantage Light: For packages that weigh less than 1lb
- USPS Ground Advantage Heavy: For packages that weigh 1lb to 70lbs
- USPS Ground Advantage Cubic: Cubic prices based on package size and distance rather than weight
USPS has adjusted its shipping service prices with the USPS Ground Advantage launch. These new prices have been reflected in Amazon Buy Shipping.
When you purchase Amazon Buy Shipping labels, you can now choose USPS Ground Advantage. Your existing shipping templates have automatically been updated to the equivalent USPS Ground Advantage ship method.
If you use a third-party order management tool, or your own software, to automate order fulfillment, you may need to manually update the ship method name to ensure you can continue to automatically purchase USPS labels.
