I'm not sure the card market would survive $6-10 shipping costs.

There's a reason FedEx and UPS don't touch First Class service - it's a loss.

In order to be profitable, or even just break even, USPS needs to increase their First Class Package rates. This would also mean an increase in Priority Mail services.

Once that is done FedEx and UPS will raise their rates, too.

As for the card market, I think an increase in shipping will actually increase sales as buyers will be more likely to add more to their order to help justify the rates.
