USPS Issues

[Dream Burls]

All of a sudden my site is having problems posting prices for USPS options. It's been working fine for almost three years, now all of a sudden it doesn't list Priority flat rate options. Do you know how easy it is to deal with the USPS? Yesterday I spent about 2 hours on the phone, about an hour and a half of that on hold, get switched from one agent to another who didn't know what they were doing. I was finally told, to sum up, that I needed to register with their Web Tools platform in order for these listings to work. The fact that I never had before, well, let's not go there. So I go ahead and register only to find out, after more waiting on hold, that they can't activate my new account because their computer system for that function is down. AAARGGGHHH!!!

Now I'm waiting for an email to tell me that their system is back up so I can call and wait another half hour to get someone I can only hope knows what they are doing. In the meantime, if you want to make a purchase on www.dreamburls.com just go ahead and check out with the Priority mail shipping option and I'll make any $ adjustment when I capture the Paypal payment. Hopefully this situation does not last too long. Thanks.

My site is functioning normally again. You will see three choices for domestic delivery: small, medium and large flat rates. Small can usually take 3-5 pieces depending on the size, medium up to around 30. I don't think I've yet to need a large size box, but I wish I would some day

Hey bud, try stamps.com... they use USPS and you still get the discounted usps rates but they are EXCELLENT to work with and I have had a wonderful experience using them for the past 8 months or so. It is $15/month but well worth it imho.
