Pardon me if this subject has been discussed previously....but....i just sent a package to England...for $24.....last one i sent a few months ago was $9.!!!!!!!!
...I Read where the USPS was going to eliminate some mid-level management jobs in an attempt to save 3 Billion dollars.
Apparently they have decided instead to get the money from their customers (they make a big noise about raising domestic rates by a penny, while not mentioning that overseas rates have nearly TRIPLED)!.....How has this affected you other sellers?....this is going to KILL much of my overseas sales.
....Its bad enough waiting in line to deal with clerks that have the personalities of constipated funeral directors, let alone paying what i feel to be highly UNFAIR rates.
.....What say you? ....With all the talk about cloning and manipulating genes, i think someone should develop STRONG Carrier Pigeons....as well as a Postal Management flesh eating bacteria.

How did you send the package???? I have learned I can send an item by Letter Package and register it for about the same price as small air package USED to cost.
Registering it gives you automatic coverage of up to $50. If it's over that you have to add for insurance and this may result in you having to go parcel which cost the bucks!
