Anyone else getting the message USPS Experiencing when generating a label this morning?

Is anyone else receiving the message in red "USPS Experiencing issues" when purchasing a shipping label this morning?  The message appears underneath the service category.  I need to ship an order but am afraid to try because of this message.

I see that message a couple times a week it seems like, but only once in the past few years has it ever actually stopped me from generating a label.

Otherwise it just works the same as normal. Nothing to be scared of, if there really is an issue it won't generate the label.

@loose_goose_garage Thank you so much for your reply! I'll give it a try.

I was able to purchase a label. Yeah! 

Thanks again.

Yes, and don't want to purchase a label in case I can't get a label to generate or print

My label printed out fine so I guess it means means expect delivery delays.  My small local PO has 2 openings.  Also Canadian Post is on strike.  It's far more important the buyer gets this type of notice than the seller.

Is ebay also notifying the buyers choosing U
SPS about possible shipping delays?  Or should the seller do that?

I tried changing the weight on a package with that message today on an order and the amount would not recalculate.  I guess I wouldn't be super concerned if the amount  seems right as far as the calculations goes with the pre-entered info, but if the packaged item needs adjustment from the estimate that might be concerning.

Yeah, that's been on there since this morning and hasn't been resolved yet. I currently have two items to send out. And it wasn't just USPS, but UPS and FexEx also.

Same here. Probably just a coincidence that last night was the scheduled update maintenance.

What did you do?

I got the same message but went ahead and shipped anyway.  Everything went fine and printed like usual.

I printed the label out fine. Went to the post office counter for a receipt. Hope all goes well.
