Posting to business address, only 1st class option
Had an order yesterday (15th Oct), going to a business address which is closed Sat/Sun (which makes no difference if delivery is just being popped into letter box)
I usually post 2nd class (not signed for etc due to low value)
Only option was 1st class despite deliver due date being Fri 24th Oct.
I held fire until today to post as I thought "I bet it's because they are closed at weekend)
This morning 2nd class option is back as it's not expecting the order to be delivered until after the weekend now.
I know the 'Only 1st class option' posts have appeared before on here, so this may be worth remembering folks.

Hello Baked_Bean_Store,
I have had an order this morning from 'UK' who are closed at the Weekend and, like you, Buy Shipping is only offering 1st Class Post (extra £1.50) with a delivery date of tomorrow - 17/10, when the order permits delivery up to Wednesday next week... and we are both in London!
I will wait until tomorrow morning before applying Buy Shipping
Thank you for posting this

PS It is possible that the new delivery system announced for 2nd class post of every-other-day is responsible for this...
PPS As Amazon set the delivery time for a sale based on the transit time (according to the latest information Amazon has) plus the handling time Amazon appear to be forcing me to use more-costly 1st Class Post when all of my items are costed based on 2nd Class. Amazon should be adjusting the expected delivery date based on the above factors and not forcing 1st class post...

Hi there @Seller_nex6aLZ9HPynF,
In general the options being offered reflect what Amazon has determined will arrive to the buyer when you using Buy Shipping services. If you have concerns about the options for a specific order you can reach out to Seller Support to review, however in general your options should adjust as Amazon gets updates from carriers. Thank you for your understanding.

Hi, I had the same problem. Amazon won't allow you to buy 2nd class if your delivery time is 1-2 days, you have to adjust it to 2-3 days in your Shipping Settings.
