Is USPS down, or is it just you?
Multiple independent check rounds from rimetry's monitoring infrastructure, run seconds apart.
Our checks reached USPS successfully in every round of the last check cycle.
| Check round | Last check | Success rate (24h) | Avg response |
|---|---|---|---|
| Round 1 | Reachable | 100% | 1,526 ms |
| Round 2 | Reachable | 100% | 1,441 ms |
| Round 3 | Reachable | 100% | 860 ms |
| Round 4 | Reachable | 100% | 981 ms |
Based on 364 automated checks in the last 24 hours. Each round is an independent pass over the same endpoint, seconds apart — a single failing round is not an outage; repeated failures across rounds are.

About USPS
The United States Postal Service operates an online portal where users access Informed Delivery, price calculators, and domestic package tracking. Service interruptions usually affect the availability of the tracking database, zip code lookups, and the purchase of Click-N-Ship postage. During these periods, notifications for incoming mail may fail to arrive, and the main website might return gateway errors. Users visit this dashboard because Rimetry systematically audits the connectivity and speed of these postal web services to confirm whether the platform is currently reachable for the public.
Problems with USPS can affect parcel tracking, website, notifications independently.
USPS (usps.com) is a delivery & logistics service monitored continuously by rimetry's automated checks. We probe its public endpoints every 60 seconds in repeated independent rounds to detect outages and latency spikes the moment they happen.
Right now USPS is reporting as operational across our probes, with an average response time of 500 ms and 100.00% uptime over the last 24 hours. Most users connecting to usps.com are seeing it work normally.
Common causes of disruption for services like USPS include backend API failures, region-specific routing problems at the CDN or ISP layer, expired TLS certificates, DNS misconfigurations, and capacity spikes during major events. rimetry combines automated probes, vendor status feeds, and verified community reports to give you a single high-confidence answer instead of guessing.
