The U.S. Postal service keeps going up in price every year. FTDNA got tired of trying to keep up with the changes. And they got tired of kits not being returned. So they upped the postage so it's on par with AncestryDNA ($9.95) and 23andMe ($14.95). BUT, they include the return postage back to Texas for those who reside in the United States. I'm talking only U.S.Postage here.
I don't remember when postage was $2.50. Waaaay back. Before this price increase it was either $5 or $7. Did FTDNA pad the postage? Probably. But I think they did this so they don't have to bother raising the postage for a few years.
