Rates went up significantly in January. Try and use flat rate boxes!

You may want to use PayPal Postage, Stamps.com or Endicia if you’re just using USPS counter rates. USPS no longer offers discounts on the USPS site.

I also use FedEx Ground for packages 2lbs or more, and FedEx SmartPost.
If you get a FedEx account, you have lower rates.

It’s getting so bad that I’m adjusting inventory to either no longer sell big or bulky items or pass on the costs to the consumer.

Some of those items, surprisingly, the customers were willing to pay exorbitant shipping prices.

I no longer offer free shipping on bulky items either.
When customers decide to return, I would have to eat that as well.
