USPS Issues / USPS.com Issues

I am embarrassed by my OTDR. In March my packages were almost all delayed in transit. I have a big yellow box on seller central saying my account is at risk. I had this same problem during the holidays. I love the post office even though they have really let me down. I do not wish to pay UPS rates but they are so much more reliable.

Asked ours today and also said being picked up at 4:00pm …
With that said, everything is hitting the ā€œnearestā€ distribution center (or being scanned by) about 12 hours later and then sitting there for 3 or 4 days before processing out.

The last time the post office did a major change like this, it took 3 months for the issues to be worked out. We think that USPS knows this and the reason for phase 2 not starting until July.

It’s going to be a rocky ride for those using USPS … especially those who are not using AHT, SSA and Amazon Buy Shipping.

Amazon Buy Shipping is showing ā€œAt Riskā€ for late delivery on all USPS Ground Advantage (less than 1lb) this morning April 3, 2025.

  • We have AHT and SSA enabled so Amazon set estimated delivery times and used USPS Ground Advantage (less than 1lb) to set the estimated delivery time.
  • Each order had 2 day handle time with April 3, 2025 being the last ship by date.
  • Estimated last deliver by date are all April 7, 2025 on order detail pages.
  • All methods of purchasing a label through Amazon are giving estimated delivery dates of April 9, 2025 and show ā€œAt Riskā€.

In addition, USPS has been delivering 1 to 3 days late on about 1/2 of our orders for the past two weeks.

Initiated support ticket but we all know that will be no help. Have you heard any squawk on the NSFE?

I have too small a sample to make any definitive statements, and it is conceivable that there is a decrease in mail volume as tax day approaches but I am seeing no change in when my packages are leaving my PO yet, but I am seeing some pickup in speed because packages are leaving the sorting centers earlier.

ummm … tried to post from mobile but it didn’t get here …

We posted early this morning on NSFE also … as soon as we did, we had another seller validate.

It is wide spread … everyone.

No mod has responded yet.

Had a nonsensical reply from support, not even close to the issue. Even tried to explain it two ways in same ticket.

We had many Late Delivery Risk today, but seems like tomorrows orders are coming in as normal without the Late Delivery Risk glitch.

Monday orders with 2 day handle time shipping today … all LATE RISK.
Tuesday orders with 2 day handle time shipping today as one day handle time or tomorrow with 2 day handle time … all LATE RISK.

We’re not using AMAZON shipping except for the occasional freight forwarder/drop shipper/bookstore, where use BPM. Have managed to keep out of AMAZON’s automated baloney. Our handling gap is .1-.2(that’s tenths). Often uses GA to speed up delivery, once we’ve sat on the order for the required days(could call TPTB non-complimentary. names, but belongs to another thread).

Very few returns/refunds, the reason we chance it.

Bit the bullet, using Stamps Commercial for $49.95 monthly when the new owners decided to -charge a fee for over 15 labels monthly!! Call me a fool.

When traveling/scouting, whoever is subbing, even usually reliable husband, don’t make as many mistakes in labeling. They’re used to a system we’re used for a dozen years. Don’t have to cut/paste order names/tracking as w/ Pirate Ship.

Find Stamps reliable, GA or PM aren’t getting delayed /manhandled(are USPS employees opening parcels? Or just having a jolly holiday to spite AMAZON)

At least someone (KJ) has finally acknowledged there is a SSA issue instead of the stupid answers support is giving.

So we messed up but you’re on the hook should something go wrong.

(Amazon Buy Shipping Broken - All Orders "AT RISK")

It is amazing to me how this constantly happens. I actually added to @Lost_My_Marbles post there because It started on 3/21 for me and I got a nonsense answer not once but 2x.

Yesterday I had a $20 order USPS wasn’t even an option for any method. My only choices were 2nd day delivery which were $23 at the least expensive.
I took my chances and shipped using stamps.com
