Technical Notes
Based on the provided research, here's my analysis of EasyPost's policies and integration details: ```json { "refund_rules": "EasyPost offers USPS label refunds within 30 days of purchase, but only if the shipment status is 'pre_transit' (never scanned by carrier). Refunds are not automatic - customers must explicitly request them via API or dashboard. For BYOCA (Bring Your Own Carrier Account) labels, refund policies follow the individual carrier's terms. No refunds available for shipped packages or after 30-day window.", "credit_policies": "EasyPost provides credits through their Address Precision Validation (APV) adjustment process - when USPS makes billing adjustments (weight corrections, service upgrades, address corrections, etc.), customers are automatically charged the difference. However, EasyPost does not appear to offer service credits for API downtime or platform issues. Wallet customers receive automatic billing adjustments based on actual carrier charges vs. initial estimates.", "contractual_terms": "EasyPost operates on a pay-as-you-go model with no long-term contracts for API usage. Pricing is transparent with published rates. Auto-renewal and cancellation notice periods not applicable for API services. Rate changes follow carrier rate updates (typically annual USPS increases). Enterprise customers may have custom MSAs with different terms. No minimum commitments for standard API access.", "integration_complexity": 2, "technical_notes": "REST API with comprehensive documentation and SDKs for multiple languages. Authentication via API keys (test/production). Rate limits not explicitly documented but generous for typical usage. Key considerations: Async CSV report generation (31-day max range), webhook support for shipment updates, address verification requires separate API calls, refund eligibility checks needed before processing. API includes useful fields like 'usps_zone' and 'residential' flags for cost optimization. Beta endpoints available for enhanced rating." } ```
