Hi List, This is more of a "OMG, did you see the prices" message, although it is a subject that affects both meteorite sellers and buyers.
For those not aware, the USPS raised it's prices on Sunday, while domestically it didn't change by much, internationally it's an insane price increase: https://www.usps.com/business/prices.htm So small flat rate priority international went from $16.95 to $23.95 (a 40% increase!). To Canada small flat rate went from $12.95 to $19.95 (over 50%!). Even first class international starting price is now $6.55 and for some places seem to have gone up 125%! Unfortunately, there's not much anyone can do, alternatives are few and still fairly costly. Although, anyone with affordable shipping suggestions, feel free to chime in. -Yinan Wang ______________________________________________ Visit the Archives at http://www.meteorite-list-archives.com Meteorite-list mailing list [email protected] http://six.pairlist.net/mailman/listinfo/meteorite-list
