Package preferences not showing up when printing labels

The have filled out the info for package preferences to add box priority small box or a bubble mailer in the shipping setting section. However, when I go to print labels, the only option I see in the drop down menu is the priority small box, which means I have to manually add the package size and weight for each label. Printed 34 labels this morning and had to add that information in manually, which took a lot of extra time I don't have! In addition, one customer purchased the priority upgrade and this was not flagged when creating the label for this order - I had to keep an eye out for the postage price paid to make sure I applied the correct label to this order.

The package preference for the label presets was always working in the past, but right before I had this problem I had to change the package size and weight for one package, then later went back to the Package preference tab to add it back in and now it is not working.

Also, I understand that we can no longer send packages as First Class, but I don't see an option for "Ground Advantage", unless that is the same as Parcel Post Ground. If so, why don't they call it the same thing. Seems a bit confusing.

Re: Package preferences not showing up when printing labels

@WendyShrayDesigns: "but I don't see an option for "Ground Advantage"" Etsy has not implemented it yet - right now a Ground Advantage package of 15.99 ounces or less is still displayed as First Class Package and a package of 16 ounces or more is still displayed as Priority Mail. Note that a Ground Advantage package of 16 ounces or more has an estimated in transit time equal to the old Parcel Post, a Ground Advantage package of 15.99 ounces or less has an estimated in transit time roughly equal to the old First Class Package. Depending on which zone you are shipping to, the difference in estimated in transit times can be substantial. Parcel Post and First Class Package mail classes are both gone and replaced by Ground Advantage.

Re: Package preferences not showing up when printing labels

I'm wondering if there's a glitch in the system. I had problems yesterday with two orders - someone requested "Standard Packaging", and a comment came up that shipping that method wasn't offered, but I couldn't get other shipping methods to come up, and then my next order had nothing different than usual did the same thing. I ended up taking them to the Post Office to ship which was a PIA. Hopefully it will all go back to normal ASAP!
