USPS Price Increases, again

just a heads up, I went to the PO today to mail off some small flat rate priority packages and the price went up to $9.20, was $8.40 until 10/1. 

all of the flat rate prices went up, not sure off hand. 

but be advised if you're selling or buying baits 

I see a lot of guys complaining that shipping for one bait is $10 from most sellers but now that's probably not even covering materials and the actual cost of shipping. 

the woman said "it was temporary for the holidays" but I highly doubt they will go back to the lower price down the road.

If you're shipping semi-local sometimes standard Priority Mail will be cheaper than flat rate. I use the 9 1/4 x 6 1/4 x 2 ID box which actually gives you more room than the small flat rate. I always check both standard and flat rate against each other and use the bigger box when I can get away with it.

I was always astounded how much cheaper usps is compared to ups. But yeah $10 to ship priority impacts swimbait deals.  With peeps I trust I often let it fly no priority. 

Priority doesn't even seem to be Priority been waiting on bait since last week..lame lol
