Thank you for the update. We are receiving many INR claims from buyers when utilizing Amazon purchase postage. We have INR claims opened as far back as May and June. Hopefully we can get some of these resolved soon.

Based on last years sales volume, this is going to cost me about $100. How is everyone else fairing?

It is what it is. As a seller I will just pass this down to Amazon buyers. I will also ship many of my packages media mail so while the post office believes they are going to make more money…they will actually lose money with me. I hope all sellers do the same in the media category.

Cashing in on online holiday shopping during a pandemic, from Oct 18th to Dec 27th - with a “temporary” increase in commercial prices, but not the retail prices. How is this even legal!?!?!? - that they can impose a temporary raise just for holiday shopping during a pandemic!?

Since January 2020, the USPS has lost, broken, or miss-mailed more packages for me than any other ytd. I get it COVID-19, but now you want a raise? If you cannot even successfully deliver mail to mutual customers, why should you receive a raise for holiday shopping only and during a pandemic - where most feel safe shopping online rather than in-store. It’s not like the USPS lost any money during the pandemic - oh that’s right, we need money because we are miss-managed to the extreme, so let’s make commercial accounts pay for it. Is the US government bailing the USPS out on top of the raise? Is it temporary or just a ploy to raise prices and then make them stick after the holidays. #Returns via #USPS - hello!!??
Might be time for me to seek other options.

Dear Amazon, you know what to do. Give USPS a Price Alert and suspend their Buy Shipping options until they fix it
