-For orders over $200, we force domestic customers to use UPS as opposed to USPS. Here's how to set an arbitrary limit on the usps shipping module.+====== Forcing shipping method by value ====== 
 + 
 +We ship via UPS and USPS (postal). Postal is great, inexpensive and fairly fast. One thing it isn't is automatically insured or tracked. Because of this we externally insure all packages including USPS but still, we found that shipping expensive things by USPS was not a great idea. That's what UPS is for, which is a trackable service that has better systems in place for valuables. So, for orders over $200, we force domestic customers to use UPS as opposed to USPS. Here's how to set an arbitrary limit on the usps shipping module. ​

 +=== Notes === 
 + 
 +Make sure that you have other shipping options enabled! Don't disable USPS without any good alternatives. 
 + 
 +Also, UPS can't ship to PO Boxes. If shipping expensive things to PO Boxes is important for your business, don't do this mod!
