What is USPS Ground Advantage?
On July 9, 2023, USPS launched USPS Ground Advantage, an affordable domestic ground service that replaced First-Class Package, Parcel Select Ground, and Retail Ground. USPS also retired the Ground Return and First-Class Package Return services.
Replace discontinued methods in SKULabs
In SKULabs, the retired USPS methods are marked (Discontinued), for example First Class Mail (Discontinued) and Parcel Select (Discontinued). They no longer switch to Ground Advantage automatically, so replace them anywhere you still use them:
Go to Settings > Shipping and check your shipping presets and shipping rules. Change any discontinued USPS method to Ground Advantage.
Check each store's default shipping settings for discontinued USPS methods.
Fetch rates on a test order to confirm Ground Advantage appears.
If you're switching USPS providers at the same time, see Switching primary carriers. For USPS rates available through SKULabs, see What are SKULabs USPS Discounts?
