Now, the post office is raising rates again with the largest increases being at the lower end, for First class packages. That is right where I do most of my business! I ship small items, lighter weight items, and my customers get a break over stuffing the items in a flat rate box. It feels like the Postal Service is fazing out first class packages. Again, Aye-yai-yai! Small business owners, like me are affected tremendously by this!
So my Pruitt Creations customers will not be affected, at least until January 26th, here what I will do:
1.) I will not raise my rates until the 25th. Obviously anything ordered on the Sunday 25th cannot be shipped until Monday the 26th, but I will honor the old shipping rate!
2) Anything in my Marked-Down section will be Free (domestic USA) shipping, if you use the coupon code FREESHIPPING at checkout. And if you are in the UK, Canada or elsewhere, the rates will not be raised until the 25th. Shop NOW!
3) and if you buy items that are not on clearance, with marked-down items, you can still use the free shipping coupon code! Remember USA domestic shipping ONLY.
I appreciate my customers and want them to get the best prices! Remember . . . . Time is running out fast!

UGH. what else is new, right?
Yes, the 1-3 oz category is getting hit the hardest. Percentage wise it's a large increase, but I think it only equates to about 50 cents.
Bah humbug to more raised rates! But good luck with your free shipping sale!
Thanks for posting that here and for sharing how you'll handle the increase.
It's crazy how much postal rates have risen in recent years. I'm sorry it affected you personally - my family is spread across the globe and it changed our gift-giving habits, too, but not sending gifts to cousins is a bit different from not being able to send them to grand kids!

Glad you live closer, so you can give the grandkids a gift.
It definitely keeps us on our toes.
yikes!
I've seen differing information through google searching.
It seems probable that 1-3 oz will go up 24 cents. To me, that is significant. It's not a tiny, barely perceptible increase.
