Well, folks, another one bites the dust. USPS Is Pulling the Plug on the Click-N-Ship. Here’s what you need to do before Feb 20th.
If you’ve been shipping with USPS Click-N-Ship, you might’ve noticed some changes lately. And if you haven’t—well, brace yourself, because the old Click-N-Ship app is officially getting the boot on February 20, 2025. That’s right, USPS is shutting it down, leaving sellers with no choice but to switch to the new version.
So, what does this mean for your ecommerce business? And more importantly—how do you avoid a shipping disaster right in the middle of fulfilling orders? Let’s break it down.
Wait, Why Is USPS Shutting It Down?
In classic “out with the old, in with the new” fashion, USPS is saying goodbye to the old Click-N-Ship to move everyone onto their new, supposedly improved platform. They’re promising a more modern, efficient experience—but if you’ve been selling online for a while, you know that “new and improved” can sometimes mean “confusing and glitchy.”
The good news? You won’t lose your account or shipping history, but you will need to start using the new Click-N-Ship interface ASAP.
What Happens if You Do Nothing?
If you ignore the warnings and keep using the old Click-N-Ship like it’s business as usual, here’s what’s coming your way:
- Access Denied: The old version won’t work at all after February 20.
- Shipping Chaos: If you don’t switch in time, you could find yourself scrambling to process orders.
- Extra Stress You Don’t Need: Do you really want to deal with this in the middle of fulfilling customer orders? Nope.
How to Prepare (Without Losing Your Sanity)
1️⃣ Log Into Click-N-Ship – If you haven’t already switched, head over to USPS and test-drive the new version. Get comfortable with the layout before you’re forced into it.
2️⃣ Check Your Saved Info – Your addresses and shipping history should transfer over, but it never hurts to double-check.
3️⃣ Consider a Shipping Solution That Won’t Leave You Hanging – If you’re tired of USPS making surprise changes, this might be a good time to upgrade to Ordoro. We integrate with USPS (and multiple carriers), so you get discounted shipping rates without the Click-N-Ship drama.
