I just downloaded USPS Methods 6.1 to use on our OSCommerce 2.2RC1 store.
In the installation instructions, it says:
NOTE: SELECTING ANY GIVEN SHIPPING METHOD DOES NOT ENSURE IT WILL BE
AVAILABLE TO YOUR CUSTOMERS. USPS RETURNS A SET OF POSSIBLE SHIPPING METHODS
DEPENDING ON POINT OF ORIGIN AND DESTINATION, AND THIS CONTRIBUTION MERELY
FILTERS THEM SO THAT NON-SELECTED METHODS ARE NOT PRESENTED TO THE CUSTOMER
AS CHOICES.
I have Express Mail, pretty much all the Priority Mail, First Class, etc. options selected.
What I'm finding in my testing is that the module is offering me (as a testing customer)
Express Mail
Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box
Priority Mail (just the regular)
Parcel Post
First Class Mail
What I find odd is that it is only offering me the Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box, and none of the other Flat Rate Boxes.
If I remove the Priority Mail Large Flat Rate Box option on the configuration page, then I don't get any other Priority Mail Flat Rate option.
Does anyone else have this problem?
Does anyone have any ideas what may be causing this?
Any help / feedback will be greatly appreciated.

Nicholas,
I think the returned available options from USPS rely on the item weight. If the item is heavy, then the LARGE Flat rate box may be the only method USPS offers for a heavy item.

Although I solved my previous problem of Domestic "Priority Mail Small Flat Rate Box" not showing, now I am experiencing the same problem with "Priority Mail International Small Flat Rate Box" not showing. Does anyone have this option working in their install? Does anyone have a fix?
Thanks!
Thanks!

FOLLOWUP: Upon further research, I believe the correct way to solve this problem is by putting in very accurate dimensions for the package sizes. For example, for shipments up to 5 pounds, a small flat rate box is 8.625 x 5.375 x 1.625. Once these were added domestic and international flat rate box options showed accurately.
