Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    Addendum: 01/10/2026
    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

SYR???

Actually, it does still says that message if you try to get a quote or make a label. I'm curious how they're going to explain the predicament they're in to their customers...

I'd get on FedEx and RE shipping approval right away if I were someone who was relying on shipping with SYR...
 
I had two shipments that were supposed to go out today. I checked syr yesterday to get my labels printed and saw that "technical improvements" message. I figured it would be resolved by today but no luck. UPS wants almost twice as much as syr quoted me. I cant understand why they let you think they are still shipping until you try and buy a label? I'm trying to work on a RE account asap!! syr wont answer the phone either..
 
Yep, Im in the same boat. I have a shipment to go out tonight and no syr. Looks like Ill be paying out the a!! for UPS in person..
I hope this is resolved soon. But I have my doubts and think it could be a bigger issue. If thats the case I hope the say so, so small time guys will know to start looking for other options.
 
I would highly recommend looking into FedEx and RE. It is not a technical issue to be resolved by SYR as their websites states (I was told none of their websites are permitted to ship any longer).

Click to expand...

Thanks for the info. It is too bad. I got RE certified very quickly--thanks RE! But...their pages are being glitchy and I can't get my label. Maybe the universe is telling me something...
 
It would appear that both SYR and RE are in major flux right now. And neither is being very forthcoming to their customers trying to book shipments. Back to square one it would seem. It should not be so hard to spend money and give folks commerce. :roll:
