I AGREE.
HOWEVER ... let's forget the USPS existed. I have a letter I need to get to California (that's 3,000 miles away). I find out a person in my neighborhood is driving to California tomorrow. He says give me 46 cents and I'll drive it 3,000 miles and then go to the person's house and hand it to them for you. For 46 cents you will do this? You are CRAZY!

Liquidating my collection for the 3rd and final time. Time for others to enjoy what I have enjoyed over the last several decades. Money could be put to better use.
Let the Jehovah's Witnesses deliver the mail. They're
gonna to be at your house anyway, may as well give
'em something useful to do.

I too am perplexed by this "mailing a letter" topic...
Looking to BUY n332 1889 SF Hess cards and high grade cards from 19th century especially. "Once you have wrestled everything else in life is easy" Dan Gable

<< <i> My biggest increase will be shipping to Canada. First class International packages will now be $6.55 per oz up to 2 ounces from $3.45 and then an additional per oz fee depending on the country. With that said, if you need to ship get it done today or you will see a dramatic increase.Text >>
Afternoon,
Well I've been on the fence about this since the last increase for shipping to Canada and overseas. With this increase I finally can stop losing money on about half the stuff I sell to these places on shipping because I've under stated the cost in my listings, especially when they start combining and I end up paying more to ship an item(s) then the items sold for!
Just edited 1828 listings to "No International Shipping"

Well this really blows. That is a huge increase for a 1 ounce bubble mailer ($3.00 and .15 cents for each additional ounce) that will
now cost $6.55? For cards that end less than $10, I dont even think they'll sell now. May have to resort to plain white envelopes.

saw on stamps.com a 1 ounce large envelope first class to canada is $2.05, thats a $0.70 increase! Don't want to know how much a 2 ounce envelope to Poland or any other Eastern European country would be

<< <i>I can make a package go from chicago to anywhere in the country for $5 in 2-3 days
that is a bargain >>
Tell me your secret. I sell stuff and constantly get killed with shipping because the buyer is in California or Utah. A two pound package costs $12 to send to California now.
Unless you're talking about cards, which $5 is too high anyway.
