Just a FYI - as of today USPS raised its prices across the board. First class package rates increased about 5% which is significant.
Go easy on those US folks sending you stuff, it has been creeping up in price every year.

Thanks for the heads up.

Noticed that while I was making shipping labels today :(.
Sending a 2oz package to Europe went from $6.15 to $6.39.

Gee, I wonder how that's going to affect the GH60 buy...
Who am I kidding, it won't because we'll never see anything from that.

The cheapest you can send a parcel to Europe from Canada is $7.50 and that's for a flat parcel (<2cm) within normal envelope dimensions.

shipped a whole bunch of stuff yesterday because of this change
was a good decision

Aw crap! Good thing I shipped the SSK last month. That already burned a hole in my pocket.
-
Good to know about the price. Still cheaper than the other direction.
-
Yea, the price quote I gave on Friday increased by other a dollar by Sunday. Oops.

It seems like along with the price increase service has slowed.
Has anyone else noticed USPS being terribly slow lately? Things CONUS that used to take 2 or 3 days are now taking a week or longer.

Yup. I sent a board out Priority Mail 2-Day two weeks ago that went into a tracking abyss for 3-4 days.
Ended up being a Priority Mail 6-Day shipment.

I find it's contingent upon origin and destination post office. I have one that's awesome and another local post takes forever.

It is weird. The big letters say "Second Day Delivery" but the small print says "2-3 days"
Still, I have had packages take several days to go a couple of states away, yet had a keyboard delivered from Atlanta to Alaska in less than 72 hours from when I handed it across the desk at the PO until it was posted as "Delivered".
