What do you like best?
Generating labels for USPS, FedEx, etc is easy
What do you dislike?
They claim to support rating - and they do....BARELY. You can only get 1 rate at a time (example, based on weight OR small flat rate box OR flat rate envelope OR medium flat rate box OR <you get the point>
So if you want to allow users to see a list of rates and select you end up making 7 or more requests to build the list of rates. Which sucks but is not a deal breaker. Except that if you make too many requests, they lock your account for wasting resources.
So they've built an API that requires a lot of requests to be made and then penalize you for making too many requests.
Move on. Look at something else.
What problems are you solving with the product? What benefits have you realized?
None - we ended up ditching it because it was unusable
