What happened to parcel post?

I didn’t see a shipping option to select Parcel Post for an item weighing over 1 lb. I guess everything that’s not a First Class package goes Priority.

There is NO CALCULATED Parcel Post option on Bonanza. I have been begging them for it for probably OVER 5 YEARS now as Ship Costs DO MATTER when trying to make a sale. It falls on deaf ears here. You can offer Parcel as a flat (estimated middle of the road) rate based on weight and maybe you will take a loss or a gain on it, depending on weight and distance.

With the recent change In JUNE 2019, BE AWARE that USPS is now using DIM (dimension) weight for packages over 1 cubic foot (for both Parcel or Priority) and it has gotten quite pricey to ship a box over 1 cubic foot in size so do your research on estimated costs testing with various zone zip codes of either else you could be in for a BIG Surprise if you underestimate your flat cost.
USPS recent price change has just about killed shipping larger items now for USA sellers yet China can ship for next to nothing (that is why they can offer FREE).
Best of Luck
