USPS Update 10/01/2021
Posted by Terry Hammer on 10/2/2021 to
At ShopLicensePlates, we pride ourselves with lightning fast shipping when we prepare and ship our real, old, vintage, antique and collectible license plates to our customers. We use the USPS which offers tracking with your purchase. Most packages are prepared and dropped off at the USPS on the same day or the next day by us, unless it is a Sunday or a Holiday when the USPS office is closed. So there are no delays here with getting your license plates on the way to you as quickly as possible. Once we hand the package off to the USPS, they provide us with a tracking number, which we send to you immediately.
Historically, the USPS has done pretty well once we drop these off to them to make the delivery of the package. Over the last year or so, there have been a few hiccups along the way due to COVID and staffing issues at the USPS.
But, as you may have heard, and as many news organizations have reported, the USPS announced both a "delay" AND a price increase, without a lot of specificity yet. So we can't really predict what this will mean or even look like based on the limited description that we have received. We are in uncharted territory.
