I know many of you ship and receive gas and oil goodies via the U.S.P.S. There were certain weights and box sizes that made the U.S.P.S. the shipper I would use sometimes (compared to FedEx Ground or U.P.S.).
All of these shippers had a package rate increase around the middle of January. Well, the U.S.P.S. went one better. In addition to raising their package rates, they also eliminated the price discount they previously extended to all online "Click-N-Ship" customers (like me). So now, the online Click-N-Ship rate is the same as going into the post office and paying retail over the counter.
In the past, I have always passed along the Click-N-Ship discount to the person I was shipping to. Well now, that unfortunately is a thing of the past. I just wanted to let folks know about this very recent U.S.P.S. change, since it affects both buyers and sellers. John
