USPS rant

[michael everson]

So I shipped 4 of my cobra nose aluminum today at the post office.
all 4 packages were quoted last week as for as shipping costs. went to the post office and got quite a surprise. All of there rates went up. WAY UP on larger packages.
here is what I quoted the customers last week and what I paid today

Oregon $76.05 now $114.50
Louisiana $48.00 now $89.20
Indiana $40.00 now $76.50
California $63.00 now $114.00

Nearly double the ridiculous rate I was paying.

Guess I wont be selling nose aluminums any more.

Fed Ex ground may be cheaper

Looks like it almost doubled! USPS used to be the cheapest way to send mid-size pkgs.
