As you might know, the USPS Shipping Rate API service broke 1/3/2011 leaving millions of E-commerce site owners scrambling, suspending orders and finding alternative shipping.

USPS rolled out changes this weekend, the Mailing Service names now come with a Registered Mark (®). Shipping modules cannot match "Priority Mail" with "Priority Mail®, so come back empty-handed.
