Perhaps ask them for some sample code... or use their desktop tool, and sniff the requests that it's doing (perhaps using something like proxomitron). Also try using cfhttp url="someurl" method="get" redirect="no" What I notice a lot of times is that the request gets redirected to a different page, and you never see the response or the cookies that you need from the original request. This might not be an issue with this, as it's meant to be some kind of web service or something, but it's worth a try.
Also is there perhaps some way that the xml needs to be encoded? Maybe URLEncodedFormat, if it's being sent as a url string? Maybe you can provide an excerpt from the usps manual where it tells you how these requests are to be structured. That might shed some light on this.

I even asked the techie from USPS about the limitations on url strings, and he said that is the way they do it. Maybe only certain browsers have the 255 character limitation. I think it rather strange too to use url strings to pass a bunch of xml. >I kinda doubt it... since get is a url post... theoretically you can only >post up to 255 characters in a get request...
