here they go again
i had a rude awakening at the post office yesterday…they raised the rates again.
the biggest increase was in international overseas shipping, with a $3 increase in the priority mail flat rate price, and variable weight increased accordingly. ouch. our neighbors north of the border only got a slight increase of a dollar on the flat rate, a little more on the variable weight.
so for my international friends and customers, i’m sticking with the old shipping prices until the end of the week. if there’s something you’ve had your eye on, consider ordering it now, next week the shipping prices will go up about $3 per item.
UPDATE 2/1 – i’m going to try sending things registered first class mail, that should work out to be about the same price as the old shipping prices though it may take a little longer. i’ll test it out for a month or two and see how it goes. the new priority mail rates are out of control!
