If they raise the rate close to this one in Jan., I’ll have to increase my shipping close to $1 per package just to cover the rate and fee’s associated to the increase. Say good bye to another 10-20%. Sad there is NO ONE who will or even care about small sellers. We’re a dying breed.

There’s a big difference (i.e., small flat-rate PM box is $10.40 retail during holidays, compared to $9 commercial).

Retail is the rate you pay when you buy at the Post Office.

We will enjoy our family without the nonsense of the post office, buyers and ebay. Besides it keeps our taxes at a minimun. Enjoy the fall folks
