Today we received a few complaints that customers using USPS (US Postal Service) could not check out.

The error the customer received was "No Shipping Options Available".

After investigation we found that the USPS shipping API (web based shipping rating service hosted by the US Post Office) was having technical problems.

As far as we see this issue has been resolved by the Post Office.

Please let us know if you see any other issues.  We cannot do anything when this type of issue occurs because the error is on the side of the Post Office. 

The good news is -- this is a rare event.  Let's hope the USPS keeps up and running in the future.
