All things Shopify and commerce
As a small business owner competing with major retailers, I am faced with the challenge of keeping up in an increasingly expensive market. The rising costs of stamps and envelopes, coupled with general inflation, are making it harder for us to conduct our businesses economically. This is particularly true for those of us who sell low-cost items and cannot afford to add tracking to our shipments. Without tracking, we become susceptible to mail fraud and risk losing a significant portion of our earnings.
In this modern age where technology has advanced significantly, it is only fair that the United States Postal Service (USPS) should include free tracking services for all postage as standard practice by 2024. This would not only protect sellers from potential fraud but also enhance customer satisfaction by providing them with real-time
updates on their purchases.

According to Statista, there were 7.6 million small businesses in the U.S in 2020 - each one potentially affected by this issue. We believe that USPS can play a crucial role in supporting these businesses by implementing free tracking services.
We urge you all - especially fellow small business owners who understand this struggle - to sign this petition and demand USPS make automatic tracking a standard feature on all postage at no extra cost. Your support could make a significant difference in ensuring fairness and economic survival for small businesses across America.
