USPS Shipping Plugin has wrong prices

-- HikaShop version -- : 2.6.3
-- Joomla version -- : 3.5.1
-- PHP version -- : 5.4.43
-- Browser(s) name and version -- : Chrome

The USPS shipping price has stopped working. It will give a price, but the shipping price is wrong. When you add a little more weight, it increases a little, but as you continue to add weight, the shipping price gets less. Your manual is not up to date, so it has been a little hard to figure out what I'm doing wrong.

Here are my settings for the USPS plugin minus my USPS Webtools User ID

Hello,
The USPS shipping plugin algorithm automatically "group" your products together into packages based on the USPS package's size/weight restriction.
In your case, the best solution will probably be to directly add a fixed price through the "Price" option of your shipping method OR, directly edit the usps.php file of your USPS shipping plugin and add this line :

$limit['unit'] = 1;

$packages = $this->getOrderPackage($order, array('weight_unit' => 'oz', 'volume_unit' => 'in', 'limit' => $limit, 'required_dimensions' => $required_dimensions));

1. I'm not sure what you mean, "In my case, the best solution is..." What are you assuming is different about my case than others. Before I go into the php and make a change so my plugin works differently from everyone else, what are you assuming is different about my case? If you could give a little more explanation, that would be great. I think I want it to operate like everyone elses. I want the customer to put 1 or 2 or 5 or 20 books into the shopping cart and it correctly calculate the shipping charge.

2. Someone else said I should not put numbers or prices in for shipping so I removed all shipping prices, but it still does not work correctly. Can you look at the pictures below and specifically tell me which field need to change and to what value.

3. Is the "fix" your suggesting a bug in the program? Why are you suggesting that fix?
