More USPS Priority Mail Delivery Date Miscalculations
I've been posting these threads all year. Maybe you're tired of reading about this ongoing problem - I'm certainly tired of posting about it.
Seller support case 16798334221
Order 111-1022829-4038620
Order made Saturday 12/7 at 6 am
Ship by date is Tuesday 12/10
Deliver by date is Friday 12/13
Transit is California to Missouri
Buyer purchased USPS 2-3 day priority mail
Shipping early on Saturday morning at 10 am - only 4 hours after order
Amazon is blocking all USPS Priority mail wrongly claiming that shipping priority mail on 12/7 will not be delivered until 12/14. Correct calculation should be delivery will be early, potentially delivered on 12/10 the ship by date.
Amazon is allowing 1 day USPS delivery at about $30 to ship a $5 bumper sticker so the issue isn't there is no USPS delivery, odd package size, or anything else - the problem is Amazon cannot so a simply calculation that USPS priority mail is 2-3 day delivery - not 7 day delivery.
Once again I'll be forced to buy postage off Amazon and if there is a delivery issue expect Amazon to cover it as if postage was purchased from Amazon.

*** HOW MANY FORUM THREADS AND SUPPORT CASES ABOUT SHIPPING DATES BEING MISCALCULATED DOES IT TAKE TO FIX THE PROBLEM? ***
***** Note in the pictures Amazon is allowing 3 day UPS as timely but refusing 2 day USPS as not ***
Seller support in my case "mansplained" that USPS Priority shipping is 2 days - but if an order shows USPS Priority is 7 days instead of 2 then tough sh** USPS Priority shipping is not allowed.
One of the most idiotic mind boggling brain dead support cases I've seen.
So now today I have 2 more orders I will post here to indicate, again, if there is a shipping issue I will expect Amazon to cover it.

Even with UPS shipping Amazon's calculations don't make sense - 2 day shipping is 2 days but 3 day shipping is 4 days and UPS 3 day is the same as ground.
