The large flat rate at my PO are now up to $18.75.
I paid $16 something a few days ago. Different cost for different areas?

All the postal employees I've met have been good, hard working people. The problem with the Post Office isn't generally their employees but Congress who don't know how to run anything. Everything they get involved in, like healthcare turns out to be a disaster. Congressional members should work at a business before trying to run it just to see how it's supposed to work.

I mailed a bunch of flat rate small boxes back to folks from the chain build off Tue. Each box was $6.80 now instead of $5.95.
.85 cent a box up.
The price is 6.10 now, I just mailed one this morning.
Dunno, it was $6.10. Paid online through PayPal's shipping program.
It depends on the shipping discount that you get from Ebay. Top rated sellers get more discount.
This was Paypal, not ebay. I haven't used ebay in a long time.
I believe the online discount may have been eliminated after looking at the USPS website.I think it should be the same prices. Ebay gives some discounts to some people. Also, you can go online and ship direct at the USPS site and get an "online rate" which is less than you pay at the window.
I agree with what has been said thus far. I know of no companies that would survive for long if they had to fund every retirement fully. When I worked in the corporate world they took money out of my check every week to help fund my retirement and my health insurance, not sure how they do it in the Post Office. Thanks to the company investing that money basically when I retired I got my own invested money given back to me. I doubt if the government is that smart with money so they expect taxpayers to make up the shortfall. My solution right now is to not sell any saws for awhile other than locally until I get something else figured out or if something changes..
I could live with a $25 shipping charge on most of my sales but I don't think I could sell many saws that had a $63 shipping charge, which looks like it is to some places.I shipped a saw out yesterday and it was $21.23 for 20lbs, 13x17x20 box, +$4.60 insurance, from Ks to NC with retail ground USPS. That's with my Ebay discount. I think it would have been about the same at my UPS drop store.
