Hi @Seller_RSwABJNHpHnEZ,
I don't know if you are aware but USPS has initiated a deliberate slowdown of their services for a very large majority of package recipients starting today. This is an even greater issue for the many post offices that refuse to scan individual packages but rather will only scan SCAN Forms such as my local post office. Part of the adopted plan also eliminates transiting packages on Saturdays. That has a massive impact not only of delivery speeds but also combined with the no end of day package pickups at the vast majority of local post offices.
This is marketed under the article entitled "USPS Is Enhancing Service Standards" on the USPS website.
"Allowing flexibility in regional transportation schedules, which may extend service expectations by one day for mail collected at certain Post Offices, while overall improving delivery speeds for mail and packages between regions."
That quoted text means that unless your local post office is within 50 miles of a regional center (most of the country is not); those packages will not be picked up until the following business day in the morning. This is an absolute nightmare scenario when sellers are stuck in the situation like us who are in a postal area where the post office refuses to scan individual packages. We lose all types of Amazon shipping protections at this point.
How does Amazon plan to address these changes made by this carrier?
