Yep, here we go again. They just jacked up rates on us and now they are going to bump them higher for the fourth quarter. Starts on 10/5.

The post office does every year for the holidays.
Fedex and UPS also raise their rates for the holiday season.
Then they lower them back down in January.

I myself work the rates into my shipping costs every January as I know this is a normal thing (3 times a year), has been since I started selling in ’98, for me selling lighter items I can do this without overcharging customers for shipping. I mean we know USPS do absolutely nothing to deserve the increases as the service stays exactly the same if not worse, but, a constant none the less.

Should I post a comment or an answer?
You can only post one answer, so make it count. Maybe your reply is more fitting as a comment instead?
Post an answer for:
- Replies that directly and specifically answer the original question
Post a comment for:
- "Thanks," "Me too," "I agree," or "Works for me" types of replies
- When you would like the original poster to provide more details
- When you have more to add to someone else's question or answer
