USPS price increase

[jul]

Don't know if you saw that but USPS increased their price for international as of yesterday.
i sent a package of 2 pound to Canada last week with priority mail: 15$, the same package now costs 30$ to ship.
Most of the increases are on that line, double!
it's going to have a serious impact on international trades from the US, as the country is now enjoying what other people are paying (i.e Canadapost, British mail...)

aye, I sent a medium 9lb box, usually is about 40 bucks, cost 56 without tracking....(registered mail)

Remember, that reflects both US increase AND international increases; in this case Canada.
On international sales you're paying for it to fly to a foreign country and pay for it's delivery there. Yup you're paying for it twice.

Your prices are now inline with what we in Canada have been paying for years now. You just have to send it ground now. Assume about $15 per shipment. All you guys that demand air priority shipment are going to have to really think if it is still worth it.

under 6 oz box to the UK cost me $12.75 AND I had to fill out the new lame custom form. Comparing the old form to the new one and all I see is:

1) stamp box moved

2) added business line

3) added phone/email/fax line

4) changed font size and type
