USPS price hike

I'm not one to ***** about postal prices, but the cost of Priority Mail above a pound jumped at least a few dollars. Up to 1 lb is $4.95, but anything above a pound adds at least two dollars!

I just priced a 1lb package via Priority Mail from Boston to Chicago at $4.80 online. Same package, at 1 lb 1OZ (just one OUNCE more) increases to $7.19 online.

Prior to the hike on the 11th, I seem to remember ounces adding cents, not dollars after the 1lb limit.

In the grand scheme of things, it's still cheap but ...
