SUPEE 7616 (USPS Update)

This patch is only required if you are using USPS. USPS made several changes in their Rate, Services and Package names on 17^th January 2016. You can install the update by installing this patch in your Magento.

They have made following changes

• Standard Post renamed “Retail Ground”
• Flat Rate Box for Priority Mail Express Eliminated

Magento isn’t able to get the USPS changes automatically so you will either need to install this patch or you will need to upgrade your Magento version to 1.9.2.3
