		+	==Using the "USPS filter out Flat Rate options" feature (X-Cart 4.6.6 and later)==
		+
		+	To use the "USPS filter out Flat Rate options" feature you need to unselect all the services on the USPS settings page and make sure that your products have all the dimensions specified.
		+
		+	To control the number of items in one package, use one of the following methods:
		+	* Define product dimensions (See http://help.x-cart.com/index.php?title=X-Cart:Setting_Up_Dimensional_Shipping#Defining_product_dimensions).
		+	OR
		+	* Specify the desired USPS containers:<br />[[File:xc4_usps_containers.png\|border]]
		+	For each container X-Cart sends a separate request to USPS, so if you do not need some container types, make sure that the values for them are set as RECTANGULAR/NONRECTANGULAR.
