So far ALL of my “Send Outs” were cheaper at the actual post office as opposed to stamps.com.
So, here we go…..
There’s a movement to turn the PO into a mini-banking system. It should happen asap, because they need more revenue.
No Big Deal. Just raised the price of everything we sell (15000) plus items another 5 per cent. Should keep us covered until the middle of 2021 when the PO will raise prices again.
Keep pricing their selves out of business, funny how they say 1.5% yet when its rolled out, its more like 5-12% increase. In the last 6 yrs the USPS have priced out about half the inventory I sell, meaning with the rate increase’s make some stuff not worth selling anymore.
When will they raise the prices on China?
Tripple that, we’re golden.
No point in continually whining about these things. I’m 71 and here to tell you that the price of everything will ALWAYS keep going up. It has done so since my first memory as a child.
It’s called “Life”.
Get used to it. It will never change.
