I went to the post office today with a question on why their site was suddenly saying that it would cost $9 to send one pony to Canada when on Friday I sent a package of 2 ponies to Canada for $4. The answer - international shipping charges have gone up an average of $2-$3 starting Sunday! :eevil: I couldn't believe it! I asked them to check the package I have (with the one pony) and they did give me a quote that was slightly less than what was online but still.
I can see this really hurting international business. I was wondering if there are pony sellers/traders in the US that are using a different carrier than USPS. If I can find another carrier that charges less, I'd go for it to save people money! This is getting so frustrating. Even packages mailed within the US are going up. It cost $2.25 to ship a small bubble mailer that weighed less than 1 ounce!
