A few days ago, the United States Postal Service rolled out changes to their API that impact Priority and Express mail shipping options. USPS is changing the name of these two shipping methods and their Webtools API was updated to match those changes.

Merchants on Magento solutions must install the patches to continue utilizing USPS Priority AND Express mail methods. In this articles, we will show you patches for all versions of Magento Community Edition and installation instructions.
