Postage on small packages goes up Monday

DollarAfterDollar

Currently small packages between 1 and 3 oz are $2.45. I understand that will be going up to $2.62. Everything else is expected to remain as is.





So we got that going for us, which is nice.....

That's around a 7% increase

That weight seems to be the favorite of coin sellers. You gotta go where the action is or you (could) will miss out.

Packages between 1 - 3 oz are currently $2.45 and packages between 4 - 8 are $2.60 (both after ebay discount). Wonder what the new prices will be after the ebay discount.

I just printed a 3 oz. label today (Sunday) and it was $2.62

My valuable eBay discount was 1% (2 cents)

So now it costs $2.60 in postage.

With the other costs and eBay/PP fees it costs $3.17 to ship a coin.

Makes cost selling on line more and more tougher to make a buck.

Problem is like around here, nobody is buying a damn thing. Stuff is coming thru the door like no tomorrow , but very few folks buying. I can get rid of the scrap, 90% and gold bullion to the smelter, but collector stuff, better coins , nobody !!!


Ill further add just about all my customers who had been buying over the past years, have either died, or no longer collect and sold out .

Doubt it would matter; cost is the same for 1-3 oz.

Shipped ebay yesterday, new increase had already gone into effect.

Could be worse. In Canada the cost to send with tracking (signature also included) is $10.80 CDN ($8.30 USD). There are no options for low cost tracking here.
