I know USPS jacked their rates but while updating everything I noticed a massive
increase on UPS packages that exceed 24 inches on the long side. I had instant
checkout set up for the larger UCS sets and it used to range from $25-40 for
Ohio-Oregon but now it appears be the same rate for all weights in these larger
boxes (5 pounds up to 40) and they've almost doubled to $77 across the board.


Same rates on all platforms, so is this actually in effect now or is UPS's
API being goofy?

Shipping a 25x16x10 10lb package from NJ to California gives a rate on Pirate
Ship of $40.12 for UPS Ground. But that's a made-up example - do you have
one that's closer to real life?

Oh whoops, I thought I put the dims in. ~$40 is what it used to be for the AT-AT
set in it's original 24x22x16 carton from LEGO. It's now $77. (same
rate from 5-40 pounds)

The largest standard sized box I use is a 28x18x10 and for 25 pounds it jumped
from $30 to $51. (5-40 pounds)

All the other standard boxes I have are under 20 inches on the long side and
they only appear to have gone up 2-10% from eyeballing it.
