| I'm sure most here knew this was coming, so just a reminder.
Sent out an order this morning and noticed the jump in price.
1 x First Class Package @ $3.58
1 x USPS Temporary Holiday Rate Increase 10/2/22 to 1/22/23 @ $0.40
Total = $3.98

| I initially misread the First Class Package chart as only applying to Zone 3
and Zone 7! Sadly, that is not the case.
Pirate Ship lists the Holiday Increase as a separate line item when you buy postage.
PayPal and eBay shipping do not.

buyer $4 when it cost $4.27.

No, BrickLink doesn't support USPS shipping zones within the United States.

Don't feel bad. A few cents here and there is nothing to worry about.

No, it has not yet been implemented.
Having said that, USPS does have a file available, which decodes to zone number,
for all shipper 3-digit prefix to destination 3-digit prefix combinations. The
encoding of the file is such, that the file is actually very small (~2 MB) with
a tiny list of exceptions. This would facilitate the zone determination without
any API call-backs to USPS.
