USPS Ground Advantage Transit Times?
I've noticed that almost no order qualifies for ground advantage buy shipping, even though a couple of weeks ago, many orders did. It's like the eta for the transit has been increased by alot now.
I'm in Florida, yet ground advantage won't arrive on time to the customer in Florida because it will take 4 days? Is USPS really that slow now?

Hello @Seller_pAqkHLGGFCun1
Amazon recently adjusted USPS transit times. These updates included longer delivery times for USPS Ground Advantage shipments, which have been called out by sellers in this and related threads.
If you manage your own handling/transit times, keep in mind that transit times were adjusted to account for packages taking longer to deliver, and check that your settings to account for this.
For sellers using Shipping Settings Automation: I have shared reports with our partner team of SSA-calculated services not being protected in Buy Shipping. Please check your more recent orders and those over the next few days and let me know if you continue to see USPS GA (or other services?) showing as unprotected.

I'm not sure if USPS has really slowed down or if Amazon changed something in the system again, but I'm experiencing the same issue. All my orders going from Virginia to California are now being shipped with Priority Mail.
It seems like the problem is that Amazon treats the 5–8 day delivery window as just 5 days, which disqualifies Ground Advantage for many orders.
