## Updates from Shippo
### 2026-08-16 12:50 UTC: investigating
We are currently experiencing intermittent issues with USPS authentication, which may result in missing USPS rates for some merchants using their own USPS carrier accounts. 
USPS authentication has begun recovering, but intermittent failures are still occurring. Our team is actively monitoring the situation and will provide further updates as they become available.

### 2026-08-16 15:20 UTC: resolved
This issue has been resolved and service back to operational.

From the builder: does your app depend on Shippo? [Sazabi](https://www.sazabi.com/?utm_source=down-guide&utm_medium=markdown&utm_content=shippo) detects problems in your own logs without hand-written monitors, and you can ask it in plain language which errors mention Shippo.
