Hi all, I am just starting out to print labels through Shipstation. I am choosing
USPS ground advantage. I tried choosing the package type of bubble mailer or
flat envelope but it tells me that is an "invalid type". What are you
all using as a package type? Thanks.

Hello. I use Custom Package then fill out the measurements. Make sure they are
correct as you can be charged extra by the USPS.

You aren't going to use the "flats" option for pretty much anything
(unless you want to for books) because it doesn't have tracking. Even a bubble
mailer isn't a flat.

weigh and measure you parcel (bubble mailers would be 1" or more) and then
it will give you your options from there.
