USPS gone?

There are still a lot of stragglers here on my list. I guess the new ones won't appear until next month or later this month for the quarter.

I think that this month is the end of the fiscal year, as well as EOQ for USPS. Look for an upsurge in Q1?

There are still a few left in my area - in the dropdown list as FY22Q4.
I see a handful of USPS shops with most being too far away. They are a mix of CPU Hazmat and Regular Box shops. They are still at the base of $12. About two weeks ago I received an email that a few locations were paying $20 and $25 plus reimbursement, but those got picked up.
How do you know and keep track of quarterly shops? Or do you just remember from doing them so often? 
There are still a lot of the USPS shops at $12 here. Im waiting for bonuses to be added.
You can do these more than once a quarter at the same location. You can do them once every 20 days or so. And do them in multiple locations in your area.@big_sky_thunder wrote:

I looked this afternoon this afternoon and there were still a lot of them and still at base pay.
Many shops left in my state. I guess the local fools who would take them at base either have gotten smart, are sick, or are away on vacation.

Tons of them on the board at $12 in NYC/North NJ. I had to snag one at the base fee to mail out an eBay sale I made.
It is the end of the quarter.

I mainly see Hazmat and Approved Shipper Hazmat.

Does anyone know the e-mail for the scheduler for these? Or is it the dreaded generic e-mail address.
It seems to me that publicizing the email address would be linking the msc to the client in this thread.
Yay, the shops for this month are finally here. I will take a few and hope for the small bonus soon.
@sandyf Hopefully they get bonused soon. From what I see, they aren't moving and there are tons available. It appears the Hazmat ones expire in the next week or two and the regular boxes at the end of September.

Ok, how about everything up to the @ then?

October 1st starts the new Federal fiscal year. New budget needs Congressional approval. You might not see any in October unless that happens.
Insight - When I go to the sort & filter tab, under job title dropdown list, I still see 3 options for shops in FY22Q4. Are these not available to you?

Only one was close enough or me to go to. If I had another shop in the area I would consider it but I don't so Ill pass on these shops.

I just got paid for two Hazmat shops. For one I was reimbursed a flat $2, which is what the guidelines said. The other one reimbursed $2.40 (the cost of four first class stamps I bought). For anyone doing these shops, what reimbursement are you receiving?

Same. Every town around me has a $12 shop

While the Federal physical year does start October 1, USPS is an independent agency which is not funded by Congress. It does not typically receive any federal funds apart from government purchase of postal services from it. USPS does not need Congressional authorization to spend funds out of USPS revenues. (That said, Congress did this year authorize $50B in relief funding to be distributed over ten years.)

I have received both the amount I paid for 4 stamps ($2.40) and the exact amount listed as reimbursement. ($2). I guess it depends who the editor is. I don't count on getting any overage though it's nice. I really enjoyed them when they used to reimburse the full amount as if box was shipped. I would get entire pack of stamps then. They were worth it back then.

Dang, still no regular USPS shops within 75 miles of me -- and I live in a huge city that has had tons of these! Just when I was really getting into them....
More USPS shops dropped last night and none of the older ones got bonused. So much for my theory and predicting skills.
I didn't see any for awhile, but they're appearing more regularly. But I haven't seen any bonused yet. Just did one last week; had an order to ship out, so it worked out beautifully. Shipped the order for free and got the $12. It's worth it when that situation happens, but I generally skip them otherwise. Unless I'm doing a shop out of town and there's one to be had in the same area. At least it pays for the gas!
