Hi Guys - over the past few weeks I have been getting hit left and right with shipping adjustments, all of them for USPS Flat Rate Envelopes, for orders going as far back as April this year.
I've opened a case about it (case ID 21410358691), talked with forum mods about it on different posts, and Amazon's stance is: we agree with the adjustments, the charges come from USPS not us, so get over it and stop bugging us.
I have maintained throughout this situation that the problem is not us, it's not USPS - it's that Amazon is showing us the wrong price during the Buy Shipping process (which Amazon denies).
Well, boys and girls, I have my proof. Today I got an order (111-8811061-0803464), and one of the shipping options offered during Buy Shipping was the USPS Flat Rate Envelope for $9.62:

This immediately caught my attention, because the current commercial rate for USPS Flat Rate Envelopes is $11.12. I went ahead and double checked on Pirate Ship, using the same order details, and they agree that the price should be $11.12:

What happens is we pay the $9.62, and then a few months later we get hit with an adjustment for $1.50. We open a case, and Amazon says 'the adjustments don't come from us, they come from USPS, so go kick rocks.'
Amazon - we use the price displayed to us during Buy Shipping to determine what shipping method we use. Every time we have ever chosen USPS Flat Rate Envelopes is because it was $0.50 or so cheaper than the other options. But it isn't actually cheaper, is it Amazon? In the end we aren't saving $0.50, we're actually paying a dollar more, all because you're giving us bad information during Buy Shipping.
Amazon - compensate us for all the adjustments we got due to your error and fix your shoddy system, it's broken.
PS: the only reason I can think Amazon has an army of mods on the forums adamantly denying these USPS adjustments are their fault is because they know if they admit the mistake, they will be responsible for the charges. I have dozens of these $1.50 adjustments, so I imagine if you add up all the adjustments across all 3rd party sellers it could easily add up to double digit millions. And, of course, Amazon would rather force it's 3rd party sellers to bear that burden than take responsibility for their own mistake.
