Bend over, here she comes! Yet another USPS rate hike beginning January 21st. Price jumps pretty good on first class packages, which I send a lot of. :sadsmiley:

For larger parcels, absolutely.

I ship quite a few things in the course of doing Ebay stuff and the post office is horrible about how they handle packages. I could live with these slight increases if it meant better service but those monkeys could break a cannonball wrapped in 40 layers of bubble wrap...

Looks like they dropped their price in ZONE 5

I wonder why? Is this the one step forward two steps back the government is well known for?

Cheers

And your better off not sending priority. Still trying to figure out what exactly that is. BigBoysHobbies sent me a 15" Nel attack coil 2-day priority, which means they probably paid to do that. 10 day's later I got it. Happens alot. Just a scam.
