@USPSHelp been trying to ship/pay for shipping via website but only getting error message. Is your system down?

@Polymarket If usps goes down gg.

The @USPS is 100% defined as Prices up, service down.

Hey @USPS @USPSHelp Your click-n-ship payment portal has been down for 2 days now. Maybe pay the hamster running your server. I know its the busiest time of year for shipments, but this is what you prepare for. Not to mention you have 2 windows open with lines of 40 people long..

I am not an Anarchist!! I believe in the USPS!! (United States Postal Service) But nothin else!! Burn it all down...

4 days in a row the informed deliver at @USPS is not working...unexpected internal system exception has occurred. Please try again later. WHEN JUNE???

Idk maybe they should have shut down the USPS this really not a convenient service at all

Hey @USPS @USPSHelp are you aware your claims section of your website is down and has been down for over a week or longer?

USPS isn’t even letting me file for a claim, the site keeps going down 😭

My shipper is telling me that USPS is having an outage right now - is anyone else hearing about this? I'm not convinced he's not lying to me 😅

Need @USPSHelp. Pkg shipped from Jacksonville to St. Petersburg 4 days ago that looks like it got miss sorted. And still not delivered. USPS says do online help before a claim, but online help has been down for at least 24hrs.

Yall please tell me why a package I ordered originated/shipped from Ohio, made it down to ATL, & is now departing a distribution center in California? Does the USPS know I live an hour outside of Atlanta? Fix the postal service, I beg.

USPS - you decided to close the post office for the afternoon because "the internet is down"? The post office existed before the internet. Some people still need to drop off packages. And some people can pay cash. One counter person can manage an afternoon without the internet.
