How to Get FirstClass Mail display in the Cart and Checkout Pages?
FirstClass mail can be used to ship items weighing up to 13 ounces.
In case if the weight in the cart is more than 13 ounces, FirstClass mail will not appear.
To understand the same in a better way, let’s take a look at two different cases.
Case 1:
When the weight of the product in the cart is less than 13 ounces.
As you can see in the above screenshot, when the weight of the product in the Cart is less than 13 ounces, you can see the FirstClass Mail shipping option is displayed.
Case 2:
When the weight of the product in the Cart is greater than 13 ounces.
In the above screenshot, you can see that when the weight of the product is greater than 13 ounces, the FirstClass option is not displayed as shown in the below screenshot.
Apart from that, the availability of a service depends on the following metrics like:
- Sender Address.
- Recipient Address.
- Product Dimensions and Weight.
