| New shipping rates go in to effect on Monday Jan 28 2013 here in the good ole US of Frackin A
International first class is going up 9%- the good news Tracking will be available -rolling out thru the year. Canada first and looks like immediate..
Priority Mail is increasing 15%- yes that's fifteen- the biggest increase I have seen in the 10 plus years selling online..
The fee increases and changes are more of a pain here in the US--
where ebay wont have parcel online labels till March a HUGE inconvenience-- yet were still required to have our items uploaded tracking in 24hrs to be a TRS.. - The incompetence of Ebay shines thru again..
heres a link to the USPS site
http://about.usps.com/postal-bulletin/2012/pb22352/html/kit.htm
just an FYI to my international and non US fans and friends..

| The US price increase doesn't surprise me. The USPS has been on the verge of bankruptcy for a while.
Just wait, the UK is next. The woman that ran Canada Post when the prices started going up. Now runs UK Postal Service!

http://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/newfoundland-labrador/story/2010/05/27/greene-royal-mail-527.html UK rates to overseas aren't too bad at the moment even after a small increase last year but we got hammered in the UK last year on our small parcel prices within the UK going up quite considerably. I guess we can expect more increases then if she has taken over   |
