Happy #MagentoMonday!

USPS Service Name Change 

On September 1, USPS changed their “First-Class Mail Parcel” Service to “First-Class Package Service – Retail.” Magento 1.x and 2.x merchants offering this service must change the name, as “First-Class Mail Parcel” will no longer work. Read more about how to address this.
