PSA: USPS RATE INCREASE
7 years ago
General
Just wanted to let any of you who ship their product that USPS has recently increased their rates significantly.
I just found this out while getting a quote for a yarn tail client.
Please double check your shipping prices before giving any of your customers a quote. You may want to increase your shipping charges to accommodate the increase.
I will be updating my website to reflect the changes as well.

Thanks for the heads up
The cheapest options seem to be the priority flat rate.
International shipping has gone up way more. I quoted a German client 37$ last week and the calculation is now showing 51$
Today a Canadian quote was 37$. I live in Michigan literally 20 minutes away from the bridge. I feel line it shouldn't be that much.
Let me know if you get more info on what's going on or if I'm missing something.
I don’t really want to use flat rate boxes as I prefer to nicely pack my things and not squish them all up into a little box... haven’t shipped anything domestic just lately so can’t tell you my experience on a change there. But international has never cost so much for just First Class...
Maybe it’s time to look at UPS/Fedex : /
