Whats wrong with the USPS site??? "Error: AK1213"

[sherry*s_collections]

Im trying to track a package and all it keeps saying is this error; This service is temporarily unavailable-AK1213.

Anyone getting the same?

I tracked a package a couple of times today directly on the USPS site and it worked just fine.

Yeah same here. I used Firefox and USPS website has worked fine all day

You already posted that in this thread.

Thanks, that worked and i even got my confirmation email. 

One thing i'll add is that the VPN option is not on by default. I had to go into settings and advanced settings to turn it on.  Also right clicking VPN did nothing for me. I had to left click it and under the option Virtual Location i had to change it to Americas and then it worked. I can even check tracking numbers now.  Yay

You do not really know if that worked. There is no logical reason for a VPN to do better than without. It could very easily have been the time elapsed between the one use and the other.

Ya i don't know, i'm not a techy person. But i can say that i still can't schedule a pickup using Chrome, i still get the error message.

I have Firefox and Windows.  Nothing is working on USPS for me.
