Friendly Reminder - New Postage Rates Effective Today

[D. Bergin]

Holy crap, I don't know if it took awhile to get the new International rates in place, but I just noticed the following and got sticker shock.

Now it's a flat price of $12.83 or so from 1 oz, all the way up to 8 oz., then at 9 oz's it jumps all the way up to almost $22 bucks, and that's with commercial online pricing.




That's nearly double the previous price for a 9 oz. item. That just about kills any sales of publications, books, or any non-photo or card items to International buyers.

What a dagger.

Doesn't help much with photos either, unless the price of the photo itself is cheap enough to justify the shipping expense (which means the seller isn't making much off of it, in my case).

Yeah it sucks, but at least with photos you can pack around 5 or 6 pretty securely and keep it under 9 oz..

A single magazine or program, that generally sells for no more then a lower end photo, now costs 22 bucks on it's own.

You can't use the cheaper flat envelope rate either, if you are using any sort of rigid material to protect your items from damage.
