@NYSTEVE That is not true USPS did not charge a Holiday surcharge this year like UPS and Fed Ex has.

Seems like we’re just profit vehicles.
I’ve had the same basic shipping package for 10 years on Etsy. USPS (through Etsy as the enforcer) charged my “payment account” for a flat-rate box. I use a flat shipping fee, the same box, and same packing material so Etsy’s shipping calculator can’t short me. Now the USPS has decided that my package owed $10 over the usual fee long after it was delivered. Etsy buried the charge in “payment account” and doesn’t offer ways to refute the charge, but does allow the post office to take money. The email with link is pretty phishy too, since the charge doesn’t show up in the app. Seems like a pretty big one-way surprise, like the surprise 15% marketing penalty.
