"Effective Jan. 5, 2016, all tobacco products, including loose tobacco, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah tobacco and cigarettes, will be prohibited and the FedEx Express Terms & Conditions, FedEx Ground Tariff and FedEx Freight Tariff will be updated to reflect this prohibition."We should look into FedEx, UPS, DHL or whoever else if they do anything.
Inflation and operating costs most likely. The upside is the boxes are still free and if you use USPS.com you can print the shipping label.why the increase of price though?
but does the new price reflect if you print it at home? i know its like $5.25 printed at home and $5.95 at the post office before this went into effectInflation and operating costs most likely. The upside is the boxes are still free and if you use USPS.com you can print the shipping label.
I tried this once. Got caught. Had to pay the difference.I don't think you need to bother folding the box inside out to do this
Huh? I guess fedex doesn't like shipping super light packages for a lot of money."Effective Jan. 5, 2016, all tobacco products, including loose tobacco, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah tobacco and cigarettes, will be prohibited and the FedEx Express Terms & Conditions, FedEx Ground Tariff and FedEx Freight Tariff will be updated to reflect this prohibition."
Personally, I will no longer use FedEx for sending or receiving anything because of the new policy.
Yep, there were huge lawsuits in NY regarding cigarettes that set this in motion.Huh? I guess fedex doesn't like shipping super light packages for a lot of money.
Maybe trying to cover their asses with people bootlegging cigarettes.
Gross mismanagement, combined with outrageously expensive pension plans they can't afford to keep paying.well this is a slight bummer... why the increase of price though?
Bad News along with the price increase they are eliminating the regional rate, it will be charged regular priority rate. USPS was loosing a lot of money on those regional rate boxes, especially the B and C sizesI use their Regional 'A' box for shipping all the time and use the 'Choose your own box' option. I have even used a MFR and clicked that option with no issue before.
The Regional A box are available online and they just drop em at your house. They are an in between size for their SFR and MFR boxes. Anything more than a fiver, goes in one of those. Hard to find online, so here's the link.

Also, Click n ship is the only way to go as well. So easy and cheap.

I saw this in a post from Pete Johnson on ig. They used to use fed ex exclusively for shipping and have switched over to ups at the end of last year."Effective Jan. 5, 2016, all tobacco products, including loose tobacco, cigars, smokeless tobacco, hookah tobacco and cigarettes, will be prohibited and the FedEx Express Terms & Conditions, FedEx Ground Tariff and FedEx Freight Tariff will be updated to reflect this prohibition."

Thanks. I was only talking about using the Regional box itself, and not the rate. But good to know. Are they eliminating the boxes too?Bad News along with the price increase they are eliminating the regional rate, it will be charged regular priority rate.

Yea, that's lame. Now I suppose it'll be more cost effective to go in, stand in line, and get parcel post rates. Genius move by an organization that's been hemorrhaging money since the 70's.hmmm looks like they did away with their online discount to? SFR went from 5.25 > 6.80 online, marked same as retail! BS!!
