U.S. Flat Rate Postal Rates to Increase in 3 weeks!
« on: January 03, 2016, 11:56:55 AM »
Yea I read the news last week and I think it was announced in October 2015 too. Looks like we're loosing some of the flat rate deals and a 25% increase to boot on many items.
So if ya have round ball or other Flat rate items that need shipped out better get on it before Jan. 17th.

 Happy New year   :roll eyes

Better service with the increase in price would be nice. Right now they have lost two on my packages.

Muley, You just gotta be one lucky guy, then.  lol
I don't know how many packages we have shipped out via USPS over the last 10 years or so.  I cannot recall ever having one get misdirected, OK, maybe one or two, but that's about it, and I really wouldn't bet on one or two.  Of course, we always tried to ship via Priority Mail, and for us, it worked really great.
I just looked up some usps changes, and it appears that Flat Rate USPS Priority will continue to be around and the price increase is not all that much, at least according to stamps.com.

You'd be unlucky too if you lived around here. I'm not the only one. It's a big problem for everybody.

I prefer to use UPS.

I love usps for shipping lead ,boolits, roundball now I'll have to reconfigure my shipping. I do have a FedEx account which I use for firearms and cartridges.
 AUGHHH  I've lost like 2 packages one was my fault didn't wrap that 33lb bar of lead up and it blew out of the box. I had the box filled with old muzzle blast and ML mags and I was getting them mailed to me 3 mounts out. LOL
