## Updates from Shippo
### 2026-10-08 08:10 UTC: investigating
Hi Team, we are currently observing an elevated error rate on USPS's Shipment API. Shippo's fallback generates rates and labels locally and kicks in automatically per shipment, so rate quotes and domestic label generation will remain operational. Label generation for International, Military, and U.S. Territory shipments will be unavailable. We have reached out to USPS and are actively monitoring the situation.

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.
