I won't stand for this ****, USPS. You will be hearing from my lawyer in the near-future!
Don't look at the international rates. You will be even more pissed.

Straight up won't even be able to ship internationally anymore. The fact that you don't even save money online anymore also sucks.

Looks like it's around a 10% increase? I mean it sucks, but it's really not stopping me from shipping international

Shipping a 1-oz package international is now $13.50, up from $6.55. :(

Oh no overly expensive freight costs have gone up more, looks like I will be continuing to pay a dollar in shipping for every dollar I spend on small items, not to mention the 30% rise from my own ****ty currency being ****ty.Its even worse for us Indonesian Ghers
There was a time when I purchased from the US and I paid a little less because AUD conversion was just a little over USD. They were a few good days.
Should see if USPS will take Clacks and Bros as payment, probably work out cheaper. Mind you from my perspective USPS has its **** in one sock, every package I get from them seems to spend no more than a few days in the US, and then 1-2 weeks with AUS post. I think they do a good job as fohat says, but I only have received maybe 80-100 packages initially delt with by them....

This is unfortunate. With the USD/CAD exchange rate, buying from across the border was painful enough as is.

You need someone who lives just near to boarder to collect mail and to boarder runs, like a drug runner

I have not been able to ship anything that was a "package" (definition: over 3/4" thick and not flexible - as opposed to an "envelope" which is "flat" and "flexible") internationally for under about $10-$12 in a couple of years, it seems to me. But then I never stick 2 key caps in a bubble envelope anyway.

WTF
Price of oil goes way, way down, cost of shipping goes way, way up.
The pricing in the OP is only using a commercial account (Stamps.com, etc.). The usps online and in-store pricing is as follows:
(Attachment Link)
$6.80 a pop for those of us that don't have a commercial account that just send a small package every now and then. Time to start charging people $2 via Paypal and using their services.
Let's be real, the $0.80 isn't going to break the bank for anyone shipping a flat-rate small box.Time to boycott overseas shipping.
The international shipping change, however... that's where it looks like it's going to hurt.
my god u guys should never go to Canada then. our postage rates are outrageousFor real. **** this. I need to move to the land of the free.

USPS is amazing, truly one of the wonders of the world.
They have a pretty tough mandate though, which is to deliver 6 days a week to every mailbox in every little rural ghost town in America, for a flat rate across the whole system. Their volume has been dropping for years as people transfer routine communications online, and they have to keep funding pension obligations for retired workers from the years when volumes were higher, and their workers are all treated amazingly, much better than their competitors. They often end up losing the price competition on higher-margin packages to private shipping companies, but those companies are happy to use USPS for last-mile delivery whenever they need to, and so don’t need nearly as complete a network.
Not to mention, congressional Republicans keep trying to defund it.
You think USPS is bad. Auspost have had rates like this since the beginning. And they managed to crack a model M IN HALF. One of Ludovitcian42's that he sent
EDIT: I MEAN AUSPOST

How dare you provide such a rational and informed analysis in this moanfest?
How is this an issue for people that make one off purchases? Who cares what the percent increase is when the actual difference is the price increase? No one is paying based on a percentage so that is a moot point. If you cannot afford less than $1.00 more, then perhaps you should reconsider your purchase and budget in general. A you should not have a $1.00 margin.
Those are fair points and also non-trivial increases.How is this an issue for people that make one off purchases?

For me the two issues I've got are click-n-ship online shipping is no longer discounted versus walking into a post office and the cheap international first class price doubled.
I mean sure it's only a couple dollars here and there but it adds up pretty quick.
My biggest issue is that I can no longer do First Class via the USPS website. I have to go in person and wait in line only for them to try to up-sell me when all I want is the cheapest option. The price increase is annoying, but not the end of the world, just have to add it into sales now.I think that was the case already with first class, since the last change a few years ago. That's why many went with stamps.com, since you could still buy first class through them.
