9/7/14 USPS Shipping Module Update
USPS has come out with new coding for API calls, which is what Zen Cart uses to retrieve shipping quotes. This new API coding will start being used on 9/7/14.

In some cases, improperly formatted XML values that are accepted currently will result in error responses on 9/7. While we have taken steps to make this transition backwards compatible, we strongly recommend testing your API integrations to avoid issues on 9/7."...
