    usps shipping prices

    Wow!!!!
    Sure have gone up.
    I hope people who buy stuff know how high it is now, and how much more things are going to cost.
    Large box is $22.65
    Med box is $16.25
    Small box is $9.20
    I don't know what ups or fedx prices are, but gotta be about the same as usps.
    Might not be worth buying cheap, if the shipping cost more than the item.
    Strange that as service is suppose to be going down, the prices are going up.

    I ship a lot of things in the small package that used to be $8.30! Another 90 cents isn’t going to break me! Also, that same package ships to AK and HI for the same price.

    Oh, and a sneak in with UPS is a new surcharge on rural delivery. I expect that to hit a lot of us hard.

    I have bought several repair items in the past where the shipping was almost twice the cost of the part. Unfortunately, what are you going to do when it is the only means of getting the part?

    Before taking a “knee jerk” shot at the Democrats, do a little research and find out who’s in charge of the postal service. It’s this fellow and he’s a Trump appointee who Biden can’t get rid of. He thinks the postal service was designed to make money which is not what it’s supposed to be doing. It’s primary obligation is to deliver the mail. Let’s stop blaming everything on the party we don’t belong to just for the sake of taking a shot at someone and lets look for what’s actually going on. It won’t take much research to find out who’s running the post office, it’s a matter of public record.

    They have to make up the loss for giving Amazon such deal on their packages ! The carriers are making more trips to load up oversize boxs of amazon stuff which they make it their priority to get out first. Seems the US mail plays second to the packages and even those they can’t deliver on time.


    I don’t mind ups going up at least their free tracking system works and is updated every movement of your package.

    The Postal Service is supposed to operate in the black. It's been that way for a long time.

    Also the Postal Rate Commission sets the rates.
