USPS Priority Mail?

rack04 · 01-26-2009, 06:44 AM

Am I crazy or did USPS increase their USPS Priority Mail? I thought it was $4.75 and now it's $4.80. Just curious.

Youre not crazy (well at least not about this). I remember somebody posting a month or two back that USPS shipping rates were going to increase

I recall seeing something too, but haven't mailed any Priority packages lately.

You just hit 1000 posts... sounds like a good excuse to send out a package.

Yes and yes.

Using Click To Ship the price is $4.80.

Rates went up last week. Flat rate boxes have also gone up a bit.

Where do you guys source your packing materials for PIFs and trades?

Are you talking about the 5 finger bags? If so, there was a group buy some time ago that I participated in.

An easy way is to save and recycle.

5-Finger bags are no longer available. The supplier is out and they are not currently in production.

Recycle all packing material

Priority mail boxes are available from USPS.com. They are free.

That is bad news. I didn't know they weren't available anymore. I'm down to my last 100 or so.
