@JATMN @Cotterpin thanks for sharing your concerns guys, really appreciated, we’ll collect all feedback and then see how we can best address these concerns. Just to be clear the verified address option doesn’t change what we show to customers who want to pick up at your Hub, only if you used a non specific address before (for instance with no house number) that will change.
We’ve seen quite some unhappy customers in the past year that were surprised by Hubs who were shipping from complete different cities or even countries, that’s one of the things we wish to address with this feature, the fact that you offer pick-up very close to your Hub isn’t what we’re after. We’ll keep you informed, and do let me know if you have any ideas on tackling your use-cases.

Like @Filemon mentioned we’re working on a Shipping feature as we speak so that should cover those UK issues in a few weeks!

I have updated my address prior to this when I saw the address verification portion, to prevent getting suspended.
I have never had a customer complain about my location being incorrect as I usually list a disclaimer that pickup is only available as meet up in the local area only. This has actually worked well for my customers and many said it was a lot more convenient for them. Shipping all my packages have a return address which is my shipping box (like a PO but without the mail restrictions) which is where all my bills and etc goes anyhow… Which would make this a valid address, just I dont have any printers located here.
I can see this as being a issue if it was a more major infraction. I saw someone talk about this before in TALK about running a hub in one state and listing a virtual hub with shipping only on the other side of the country… This I can see causing issues with customers… Or listing pickup and not leaving a disclaimer that it is actually a meet up… But otherwise if the listed address of the hub is in close proximity of say a privately listed address used for verification only I don’t see how this should be a issue… All 3 of my noted locations above are within 10min of each other from any direction. Which is normal “quick” driving for this area.
I post you here the URL of the documentation for poste.ch webservices
(sorry, here, we are french speaking! ;))

I understand that in your case updating the address makes sense, but it does defeat the purpose of address verification, unless we make it clever in some way.

Thanks to everyone for the great feedback on the Hub Dashboard update!
We’re working hard to make the order management better and better and we’ll be tweaking here and there over the next period to improve your experience. One of the first changes is a little UX update in the “My Orders” view (see attached screenshot): you now have two separate view to differentiate incoming and outgoing orders and you can switch from one to the other through the controls in the upper right corner.

In my case, if the current setup works, the updates won’t change much. Another option is to have a checkbox that allows a hub owner to choose to have the verification sent via UPS or FEDEX (or another non-USPS option). This could cost the hub a couple dollars, and would get around problems like mine, as the USPS doesn’t serve all addresses. All other carriers do serve my business address. They’d have to be able to leave the letter without a signature.
i could use my home address, but I like to do pickups and meetings at the business address, largely because sales tax is much simpler to calculate there.

Thanks Brian. I’m looking forward to seeing it and completing verification
Just wanted to say I think it looks great but I don’t know if its just me but when I click on ‘my orders’ on my iPhone 5s here in the UK nothing appears I just get the bottom of the webpage like in my screenshot?
Cheers,
Sam
Hello,
Update looks good! Thanks! I have problem though: I am unable to upload pictures to my hub page. It would show progress but then says There was a problem saving picture or something. Also I noticed the counts for profile visits and search results are now reversed (on hub dashboard, when you hover the mouse over “i” at hub views section). Otherwise looking good so far!
Very good idea! I fully support it.
@Brian “The fact that you offer pick-up very close to your Hub isn’t what we’re after”
To be quite honest in the nicest way possible, I’m not after someone showing up at my front door either, where I live, knowing I may or may not have expensive equipment there. Thus the off hub location that is not my house. The address system needs to be corrected for pickup location verification and not where you live.

Tried on following:

No luck with picture upload so far…
All done and verified now, thanks :-). The postcard was nice too.
Are you planning to add any visual indicators to the hub pages (or a badge) showing whether a hub is verified or not?

Yes we’ll roll it out to more users over the coming weeks and once we have a fair distribution we’ll start showing it in the checkout.

Hi @JATMN that’s annoying. Sound like an issue of caching or local storage, we’ll have @martijnarts take a look this week. Thanks for reporting it, should be an easy fix.

Still unable to view the order page on my iPhone 5s which is annoying when you need someone’s address at the post office which happened to me yesterday! Can you advise when this is being sorted?
