USPS Changes

Hi.  I am getting emails from USPS directly.  They say:

"This is a final reminder that on January 17, 2016, in conjunction with the USPS Price Change, USPS will implement updates and additional features to the suite of Web Tools APIs."  

Is this only for direct transactions with USPS or do I need to do something to update my Shipping Easy account to accommodate these changes?  Worried that I haven't done anything yet and it says final deadline Jan 17.  Not sure if my online store (big commerce) will continue to work seamlessly with my shipping easy and USPS after Jan 17.

Thank you!  Appreciate any advice.

Hello Amy - Thanks for reaching out to us!

USPS is making quite a few changes in just a few days, but if you are using ShippingEasy, there are no specific actions that you need to take in order for those changes to roll over. ShippingEasy is taking all the necessary steps to update our API and your store will continue to work seamlessly with ShippingEasy and USPS after January 17th.

Even though you don't need to take action, the changes are pretty significant, so we recommend familiarizing yourself with them ahead of time. We've detailed all of the changes in this guide:

USPS announces rate and service changes on Jan 17th, 2016

I'd be happy to clarify any of the changes if you have additional questions.
