As you know I ship a lot, so it is interesting to me the changes that USPS is putting in May 14. Rate increases on everything of course--that's standard. But their parcel post service is actually changing quite a bit.
Foreign surface mail shipping has been eliminated. It's all air mail as of May 14th. That should really cut down on the number of boatanchors crossing the pond. Global priority mail is now limited to 3 ounces. That kills the best way to ship small parts, mics and accessories overseas inexpensively. Parcel Post--ALL packages now have to be measured and are charged more as size goes up--not just weight. That should certainly drive a lot of shiping into UPS/FedEx camp. There's many other small changes. If you ship a lot, you probably ought to visit USPS.COM and check it out. 73, Don Merz, N3RHT ______________________________________________________________ AMRadio mailing list List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Partner Website: http://www.amfone.net Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:[email protected] To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
