Hello @oliviergabison , just wanted to update you on our findings so far.

We've been able to recreate your issue trying to import the library into a Next.js 13 project, and have discovered the issue lies in the easypost-node > superagent > formidable > hexoid dependency chain. Specifically, formidable does not seem to be importing hexoid properly.

In our research, we came across another library that seems to be facing a similar issue, if any of the conversation there might be able to help you get unblocked: pubnub/javascript#352. In the meantime, we'll continue investigating if there's anything we need/can fix with our library specifically.

Thanks again for reporting this!
