USPS label generator
Could someone elaborate on the current status of the generating of shipping labels? In looking through the docs I see various label methods, but nothing very specific in the docs. I also saw a couple issues from the past that were closed for generating UPS labels, however I am looking to integrate with USPS. Is there anything currently in the code base for this, or is it in the pipeline (I could be missing something here as well)?
It's inconsistent. Mostly simply because someone took the time to implement it for the given carrier they care about.
We should probably think about making it consistent across carriers, and raise a not implemented for the carriers missing maybe. But it's not at the front of our roadmap anywhere.
+1 for the official label API/standard. Am currently using FedEx label creation, project now requires USPS, will likely have to move off of active_shipping due to missing label support. Would be ideal to have a consistent way, cross-carrier, to address label creation and package validation.
