I've been doing some shipments that came in on Sunday and this morning and the rates have gone up like crazy on some of the stuff. Usually furthest for 4 oz and 8 oz are $4.36 and $4.68 respectively for example but now I'm seeing anywhere from $0.50 to a $1.50 increase. Is this correct? Seems like a huge jump even for the holiday rate increase. I found below the information from the USPS.

• Commercial:
o $0.30 cents increase for Zones 1-4, 0-3 lbs.

o $7.00 increase for Zones 5-9, 26-70 lbs.

Also, it states it should've gone into effect October 6 so why are we just seeing them now?
