I was planning on listing a heavy casserole dish and I always give the option of Standard Post (for those 4 pounds and over) for calculated (because of living on the West Coast)…but it isn’t THERE anymore. When did that disappear?

Unfortunately, the PO no longer offers Standard Post for zones 1-4 (since the priority costs are about the same) and are not sending the API callback to sites anymore…though shipping sites (like paypal) still offer it..do not know how they are handling it
I do not know how bonanza will be handling it and you may have to ask them
If you go to the USPS site and enter a zip that is close your location, you will see that Standard is not an option, but if enter a zip that is further away (zone 5-9) then it will be an option

So does anybody know where I can find a map of the shipping zones online?
I believe all the probs & changes w/ the USPS is a direct attempt at thwarting online sales. First, parcel changed to standard. Now half of standard is eliminated because it costs “about” as much as Priority. Yeah, if that wasn’t done by design. Next, all of standard will be gone, then they’ll be getting rid of media mail. IMO, this is to convince the really small sellers that it’s not worth it anymore and to force those who remain to pay top $ for their priority svc.
Since the popularization of online mom & pop sales, there has been relentless advertising and pushes from all directions to use “priority”. I think they are through with trying to persuade us to use it and are now in the process of forcing us to use it.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
