Go online and order like 200 thats what I did this morning. Not sure if its panic talk of a post office employee or if its for real but the huge changing in pricing seems like that there may be some truth to it.

ordered 150.......will order another 150 next week.

I've been pretty consistant of my ordering.

The new Large Flat Rate Boxes are thinner, kinda crappy if you ask me. I'd hate to put 50-60 pounds in one and see what happens

What's even more rediculous...it is CHEAPER to ship a small 1-2 ounce padded envelope to Canada or another foreign country than it is to send the same envelope somewhere in the US.

They have now planned increases in the pricing every may...at this same time.
