It seems I need to stick with one shipping method?


If you mean you can only select Flat or Calculated, but not have combinations of those methods for the different Domestic services, e.g. 1st Class vs. zone-based Priority, I agree. However, I think calculated should provide the best method for that situation and not be a limitation. After all, the USPS estimator uses size and weight from A to B and then spits out all the possible service classes with accurate price. That's why I've been edging toward that method as I've gotten better at packaging and pricing materials.

The one gotcha that doesn't fit the calculated well is the Priorty Flat Rate box. That is a very nice package and price, which often beats the standard rate. Only problem is the square peg and round hole of use, i.e. does it(s) fit well and ship together. That's not a computer decision process.....that's human judgement call.
