Haven't seen the new (Jan 1) rates for packages yet but I certainly hope that the news isn't as bad as for first class mail.

Not yet Bill, but I am seeing longer waits at the post office now due to the new rules that require the clerks to measure every package. I think it's time to bring back the Pony Express. Remember the 'good old days', when mail was cheap and they delivered it on Saturdays! [I think there may be an idea in here for another Kevin Costner movie ...]
If anyone gets a copy of the new rates, can you let us know please (and thanks) ...

I went to the Post Office today and I was able to get my hand on the new January 2001 postal Prices leaflet (T455161). This confirms the above rates. I thought that this would be a good time to bring this thread back up.
