Reminder US Postal Rates going up Jan 21st

Post by mytimac »

First Class package will be up about 3.9%.
Packages over 13 ounces get a large increase in price for some reason.

For international buyers it will go up by about 3.9%.

So be prepared!

too bad the service never gets better. 3 Lost packages this week. One is in Germany "attempted delivery" today. It was sent to the UK. FML.
It's time to stand up to the bully. Support the companies that support the industry, not the ones that tear it down. Say no to Traxxas

Last year I had one going to British Columbia, went to the UK instead according to tracking. I never did check to see if it got corrected. I have had packages come back from Germany 5 months later.

$12 first class international for a 3oz part. Jumps to over $22 for above 8oz. Insane. Maybe they will update their scan guns and actually get workers to use them.

Prices going up, quality of service going down. Only the federal government can get away with that! :lol:
