Celebration IV - Ultimate Group Project / Postage hike and packages!!
« on: May 10, 2007, 11:23 PM »
Heads up. There is a major postage rate hike for packages come Monday and it is going to impact us getting our pieces back.
Here's my shipment as an example. I had 10 pounds in a 24"x18"x18" box; this cost me $20 to ship from TX to CA. The post office is switching to Dimensional Weight to determine postage. When you calculate the size of my box, the post office says it's DW is 40 pounds and they will charge for whichever is greater, weight or DW. So it will cost me $40 to get it back the same way it went less than a month before. Ouch!
