Shipping - Inaccurate prices (flat rate and regional)

Shipping seems to me to be an overlooked area of Acumatica, and I’m not sure why others have not come across this issue.

In summary: We are getting inaccurate shop for rates prices when switching a package in the shipment

This is our box setup, I will demonstrate using a USPS flat rate box

BOX017 = Small Flat Rate Box

 We add the package (box017) in the shipment and attach a weight of 2 lbs

when I shop for rates I get a return price of $7.79. The actual price for a small flat rate USPS box is $7.90

In order to get the correct price to show up, I have to close the window and re-open the shipment. 

 

If for whatever reason I want to change the box (ex. the large flat rate Box014) and the weight to 3 pounds, the shop for rates screen is frozen to the previous dimensions when I edit the package. Once again, I need to save the document, close the shipment, and re-open to get the correct pricing. Seems like this glitch makes us prone to inaccurate price quotes.
