Priority Mail - Rates Going Up

[Shiba]

I just wanted to let you all know, in case you didn't know already, starting January 8th, the USPS Priority Mail rates are being raised. The standard 5'er pack that currently costs us $3.85, will cost us $4.05. DC will go from .45 to .50. Not a real big deal but thought it was worth of passing on.

Here is the link that outlines all of the details..

Thanks man, this has been mentioned here before but I doubt many of you newer guys have seen the thread.

Oh well, that's the way things go I guess. I just wonder what their excess revenue is going to be used for.

Well, not sure since they are done spending the money on Lance Armstrong and Co.!!! Who knows where it will go next. Maybe raises??? I should work for them since I have not had a raise in 3 years! But, I still have a job so I should keep my mouth shut! :stretchgr

Yea rate increases suck...But it's still the best deal around. Beats buying an airplane ticket, going there, blah blah blah

Now we'll just have to throw in a few more sticks in the boxes to make it worth while. :timebomb:

Why couldn't they have made it $4 even, that would have been nice.

I'd like to see exactly how they come up with the amount and timing of rate changes. . . something tells me there are hamsters involved

In your mind maybe.

Lemmie Winks???

Rate increases are effective January 8th and effect my industry greatly.

LOL...Go buy a plane ticket and try my theory out. Bum some rides and ask some people if they're going to the street you want to go to. Much less of a hassle to pay the 39 cents eace:

eh whatever... we have come to expect these things... just another 2 cents...
