 * This plugin retrieves rates from USPS, that much works. But there is not much
   control over what happens next. Your customers will end up choosing “library 
   mail parcel,” which is the lowest rate, but illegal to use unless you are a library
   or similar. This will allow your customer to pay a low shipping rate, force you
   to pay the real shipping rate, and stick you with the difference.
 * The author does offer a feature to exclude “media mail” which has similar legal
   restrictions on who can use it. A similar option for library mail would be one
   solution, although greater control over the returned data would be better.
 * I’d like to see the ability to include/exclude specific services.
 * If this plugin displayed practical shipping rates and options, it would be very
   popular among the million+ people who use Woocommerce instead of the less than
   1% who currently use it.

 * Hello Aaron,
    Please note that this is a free (Basic) version of our Premium 
   plugin and the service selection is one of the limitations of Basic version.

 * It goes against the WordPress philosophy to offer something that is essentially
   a free trial (not practical as a finished product)
