Incorrect long delivery estimates, USPS Ground Advantage, Priority Mail & USPS Priority Express

Over the past couple weeks my USPS Priority listings no longer have the green text (Free 1-4 day Shipping).

 

It looks like this is because the delivery estimate is much longer than it should be. 

 

After checking my listings it appears ebay is giving the same delivery estimate for Ground Advantage, USPS Priority & USPS Priority Express.

 

A couple weeks ago I noticed green shipping text on my listing that said free 2-5 day shipping (81% within 4 days). I have never seen this before. Maybe ebay was making some beta delivery estimate changes and something went wrong?

 

Out of 100+ sold I only have 4 reported late delivery listings all from right around Christmas last year (2023 December).

 

It makes no sense for the delivery estimate for USPS Ground Advantage (2-5 day), USPS Priority Mail (1-4 day), and USPS Priority Express (1-2 day) to all have the same delivery estimate window when my handling time has always been set to 1 business day for all listings.

 

I also checked my listings from an incognito tab, with delivery estimate for various zip codes in other states to see if maybe it was a problem with my zip code. Made no difference. The delivery estimates were still the same.

 

This nonsense is definitely costing me sales.

It's happening to everyone. It is based off where the buyer lives. The USPS will be getting slower so if you think these delivery days are non sense look out. Keep in mind too that the hurricanes have disrupt transit time on the east coast so packages will take longer to Florida or North Carolina.
