When did the International USPS shipping rates go out the roof ???
I just ordered a noise blanker for my K2 (~$USD60 ) and the cheapest
shipping to Canada via USPS came up as $USD38 !
They have been high(er) for some time. I often see high US to Canada
shipping rates when I'm looking at items on eBay. Sometimes I think sellers
are trying to keep the item price down by getting more money from shipping,
sometimes I think they don't know of cheaper rates that are easily found on
the usps.gov website.
I need a new battery for my K2 but the shipping cost shown on the Elecraft
website seemed rather high so I have held off on ordering it. A battery is a
heavier item to ship and more an items weighs the more the price can go up
to ship it.
The cost to mail a letter has gone up a lot. Now we are getting stuck with
community mail boxes in Canada. The postal services seems to be providing
less and less service for more and more money. There doesn't seem to be much
we can do about it but learn to live with it.
