Etsy Shipping Going Nuts

[GuestBookEnvy]

My Etsy shipping settings have gone haywire lately and wondering if anyone else has experienced the same?

1.  My label presets disappeared.  When I try to add a label preset I get the error message, "Failed to save label preset".

2.  In the past, the "First Class" mailing option was automatically selected.  However, now the system sometimes makes "USPS Priority Mail" as the default, which can cost me a ton if I don't catch it.

3. When I go back to a recently completed order I am no longer able to reprint the shipping label.

4. When I go back to a recently completed order, sometimes I cannot see the shipping info/tracking #.

5. USPS First Class mail is no longer an option.  Has this been replaced by USPS Ground Advantage?

". USPS First Class mail is no longer an option.  Has this been replaced by USPS Ground Advantage?"

Yes. That happened in July.

".... USPS First Class mail is no longer an option.  Has this been replaced by USPS Ground Advantage?..."

Yes. First Class has-been renamed, and the old term ceases to exist.

I haven't noticed any difference in delivery times. Some may differ on that.  But then I'm smack dab in the middle of the country, so I'm not shipping "coast to coast".

@PristinityJewelry: "I haven't noticed any difference in delivery times." Presumably your packages are 15.99 ounces or less - they travel at basically at the old First Class Package in transit times. Packages of 16 ounces or more have an increased estimated in transit time, up to 15 days if you are shipping to Alaska or Hawaii for example (for the most part the old Parcel Post in transit times).

I have seen other threads and seen it myself every once in a while that Priority is the default.  I haven't figured out a pattern to it.

For me, it sometimes takes a refresh to see the tracking on recently completed orders.  Having said that, updates in Etsy seem to be slower than usual this week, so it may take more than that right now.  (That might also affect your reprinting?  Not sure.)
