Just left my PO. Apparently as of today rates went up. Also, DC#s are now included. No more little green stickies.

    I just got back from the PO as well. I shipped one to Gaetano in NY and the woman said that Priority or 1st Class would get there the same day..... 1st class was $2.10 and Priority was $6.20. The $6.20 seems really high for it to go to NY seeing as I shipped to Biodarwin in Louisiana and it was the same price.

    LOL this increase is just to offset their never ending poor business plan since they loose money every quarter, so I doubt anything is changing but the price.

    I'm going from memory here, but I think Priority flat rate small box used to be 5.10 + .75 for DC. So 5.85 total.
    $6.20 now, that's not bad IMHO.

    And yes --- 1st class will usually get there in the same amount of time --- as long as you bring your own box that's usually a better deal if it's a light package (like cigars).

    always choose 1st class as long as its under 11 ounces i think? cheaper and gets there just as fast as priority and you can get confirmation if you want

    I also went to the PO today. I printed out my shipping labels for my flat rate boxes yesterday or saturday. The lady told me that if you use the commercial flat rate online that the prices have not gone up. its only when you walk in the actual building. So, i paid 5.15 online for what is now 6.20 in the store.

    It was always 6.10 for a small flat rate priority box here... not sure what it will be now.
