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?

April 3, 2025

We have AHT and SSA enabled on all products which all have a 2 day handle time.

Today, we went to purchase our labels and all show "AT RISK" for late delivery for USPS Ground Advantage (less than 1lb). Amazon used USPS Ground Advantage (less than 1lb) to give the estimated deliver by date of April 7, 2025 on all of these orders. When we go to purchase the label, Amazon Buy Shipping is estimating the delivery date to be April 9, 2025 when using USPS Ground Advantage (less than 1lb).

This is dead wrong. How can Amazon use our shipping method to determine the ship by date for an order and then say that the order won't make it there when you go to buy the label if you use the shipping method that was used to determine the ship by date?

we have been with amazon from last 8 years, last 1 year we have not been much active on amazon and not created any sales. From march 10th 2025 we have started again and also changed deposit method.

As old seller with experience and inventory we picked sales again just in few days, now amazon had held all the funds.

Its getting tough to run the business as have pay rent , inventory bills and salaries.

Also deu to this sales are getting down fall as no money to buy inventory.

Thank you.
