If a customer from Brazil wants to know what the cost is to send a 1 
pound package from my location to his country, he then:

1. Selects his country.
2. Enters the package weight in US pounds or Kg.
3. The instant he enters the weight, 3 different shipping costs show up.

FCPIS is First Class Mail (2-4 weeks delivery)
PMI is Priority Mail (6-10 days delivery)
PMEI is Express Mail (3-5 days delivery)

So for example it would display:

FCPIS: $18.00
   PMI: $24.50
  PMEI: $38.95

The code works fine as is. But it is for only one rate array. I just 
need it to include 2 additional arrays.

So right now, the code displays the same rate for each service, because 
the other arrays do not exist, and my code is duplicated for each 
service to display the only available array data.

Thank you
