Incorrect Domestic Rates for Shipments Weighing Less than One Pound #38

Open jlr1001 opened 4 months ago

I'm looking to integrate live shipping rate lookups into my cart, but I'm concerned because the rates returned by the API matches those I manually search on the USPS website until I input a weight of .49 pounds or lower.

I don't want to hard-code a half-pound minimum since this would result in my charging customers too much shipping, in some cases twice what the actual retail rate should be.

Am I doing something wrong, or is the half-pound minimum weight firmly set in the api?

Thanks for your help.
