change_ship_date Change ship date ~91

Pirate Ship splits the batch into rate groups (domestic small, big or heavy, international): buy_label needs one rate_id per group. errors counts rows Pirate Ship could not rate (an address it cannot find); get_batch shows them. Nothing is charged; delete_batch drops the draft.
