Request body

Currently, the only supported statuses are "NotSpecified", "Printed", and "Shipped". Any attempt to update a package or packages to a different status will result in an error. If the status is set to "Printed", the "printedDate" parameter will be used to set the Printed Date on the package. If the "printedDate" parameter does not contain a value, the current date/time will be used instead. The "Shipped" status works in a similar fashion.

If no status is provided, the status will default to "NotSpecified" and only the carrier info (Carrier and Tracking Number) will be updated.
