Once again the postal service will be raising rates. On January 27th everything will be going up a little, but the international rates will be almost DOUBLING! A 3oz package from Canada goes from $3.30 to $6.91. A UK package goes from $4.56 to $8.88.
I really hate that....it already seems so high as it is. The larger packages won't see such a large jump. A 1 lb. package to Canade goes from $22.09 to $27.40. Still...it's a lot to pay.
So, I guess that means I will have to put in a bunch of computer time recalculating and changing my postage rates on all my listings. Joy...I assume that will take several hours since I have over 200 items in my shop.
OK, instead of being snarky and sarcastic, lets turn this into something positive....at least for today. All day today, Friday the 25th until tomorrow morning the 26th, you can use the coupon code POSTAGEHIKE at Vintage Supply for a 10% discount. The old postage rates will stay in effect until then, too. So, in short, if you live overseas, this is a good time to stock up on supplies!
My apologies for the rate increase...I don't like it any more than you do, but we'll make the best of it!
