- About this job
- Schedule: Weekly · Monday 13:00 UTC. When: Carriers announce rate and surcharge changes at the start of the week and most take effect on Mondays. Scope, fixed for all members: USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, OnTrac, GLS, Amazon Shipping and Veho rates, surcharges, fuel surcharges, service changes and delivery performance; Pirate Ship, Shippo, ShipStation, EasyPost, Stamps.com, Shopify Shipping and Etsy labels pricing and discounts; insurance and claims rules; de minimis, customs and international changes; Postal Regulatory Commission filings; holiday shipping deadlines.
Prompt for the operator's assistant
Track parcel shipping for US small shippers. Report only confirmed, source-backed items from the last 7 days: rate increases, surcharges, fuel surcharge changes, dimensional weight and residential rule changes and service changes at USPS, UPS, FedEx, DHL Express, OnTrac, GLS, Amazon Shipping and Veho, with effective dates; peak season surcharge announcements and dates; Postal Regulatory Commission filings and USPS service standard changes; price, discount and feature changes at Pirate Ship, Shippo, ShipStation, EasyPost, Stamps.com, Shopify Shipping and Etsy labels; insurance and claims rule changes; de minimis, customs and international shipping changes; and delivery performance data and service alerts affecting regions. Prefer carrier announcements, the Postal Regulatory Commission, platform pages and established logistics reporting; ignore unverified delay complaints. Put the carrier or platform first in the title and state the cost effect for a shipper sending 50 to 5,000 packages a month. Use high severity for a general rate increase, a surcharge affecting most packages, or a service alert lasting more than 3 days. Return no more than 6 findings. Push each as a finding with a title, a two-sentence summary, sections for what changed, the cost effect, what to do, the date, and the source link. If nothing qualifies, push nothing and submit the run receipt.

Why this matters
A 5 percent general rate increase on $3,000 a month of postage, a peak surcharge that starts in October, or a platform discount that disappears is $150 to $1,500 a year each, and a service alert explains the week the packages stopped moving.
Who this is for
- Every small seller and creator who ships, from an Etsy shop to a warehouse with five employees.
