jmel Posted February 19, 2013 Share Posted February 19, 2013 Bad news!! Since my return to the US over the weekend, I made my first trip to the Post Office to ship all the orders I'd received while I was gone. Due to the increase in the USPS rates that took effect while I was gone, I was forced to absorb a staggering $589 in postage fees that I didn't charge the customers for. I'm still in shock at how much they raised their rates. As a result, I will simply have to increase my shipping rates to match USPS. The new prices will take effect in the shopping cart software later this evening. I really hate to do it, but I can't imagine any company able to swallow that much of a cost increase. I wish I had a better way. The silver lining, if any, is that postage rates within the US did receive an increase in USPS charges, but not at the same rates as international shipping. I will be able to retain my shipping charges for orders shipped to US addresses, thankfully. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Emvar Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Jake, The charges are on both sides of the border.... weird.. Anyhow I'll be getting a copy of your Legacy Hornet book regardless of the charges...... any chance of giving up one of those copies you do have???? LOL Cheers Emil Quote Link to post Share on other sites
k5ikl Posted February 20, 2013 Share Posted February 20, 2013 Yeah Jake, it's a killer. I mailed one sheet of decals in a 5x7 cardboard mailer to the UK today and it was $9.40. I am afraid they are going to rapidly kill international buying and trading. Jerry Quote Link to post Share on other sites
