As everyone knows, shipping rates are going up.
Fortunately, we don't anticipate major changes in the way we do business.
Shipping rates for auctions and similar sales will remain consistent at $4 and
$6 for Media and Priority Mail, respectively.
However, when you buy direct from us, we typically cut a break on handling fees,
since we're not paying website commissions. As a result, we have to charge more
here, because otherwise we will start to lose money.
Typically, we would charge $2 for Media Mail and $4 for Priority Mail. With the
new rates, we are going to have to increase to $4.50 for Priority Mail, and
Media Mail rates have yet to be disclosed, but as soon as they are, we will send
a message through here to let you know.
Other rates for photos and other items, such as our Ken Kennedy photos or
t-shirts, will be similarly announced as we learn the new rates.
Believe me, we hate the increases as much as you do, and it's a shame that the
Post Office has billion (that's right, BILLION) dollar revenues last year, but
still sees fit to raise Postal rates, largely to justify the salaries of their
incompetent clerks at local Post Offices, and the half-day work hours of
similarly overpaid Postal supervisors. Unfortunately, it's a trend that will
never stop, since the Post Office still makes ludicrous excuses for their rates
to go up, so we all have to adjust accordingly. I know this hurts everyone here,
and no one likes it, but it's something we all have to live with, so I thank you
for your patience during this stressful time for sellers like us.
Thanks,
Gregory L. Dennis
