| I was at the post office the other day and asked about the new rates. I'm not 100% sure but I think the new rate was $9 for flat rate box and the new rate for up to 1 pound Priority is $5.60 or something like that |

| I asked Tues at the PO if the new rates were available yet on line. I was told "No, even we don't know what they will be b4 Monday. They have gone up quite a bit, but they are still the best deal." Hmmmm we shall see. I know flat rate is not always the 'best' way to go. As the rates stand now, I can mail a up to 8 LBS Priority to mail zones 1, 2, or 3. 4 LBS to mail zone 4 for 7.45. Without sending 'lead' I'd think it nearly impossible to stuff 8LBS of plant material in one of those small flat rate boxes. Sue |

| I was told at the PO that rates will be going by size now, not wt. I guess we will have to wait and see. Vic |

| Well I received a flier in my box today. It says Flat Rate boxes are $9.15. I had asked the other day if they were going to be the same size, and I was told the sizes would remain the same. I was told at the PO that rates will be going by size now, not wt. I've delayed getting a couple of trades out, and now really regret it. Hard telling what they might charge. Hopefully by Mon AM there will be something on their site, if it isn't there already. For first class mail it says this Priority Mail |

| hello I just went to the PO to ship an 8lb box, and becouse the box was also over 1 cubic foot (12x12x12) sending the box was going to be $17.30. I just about fell down,last week it would have cost around $8, if I had gone home and tryed to re-pack in a smaller box it would have still been $15. I just can't fit much in the flat rate boxes, so I have droped out of all swaps, I just can't aforde it now. michelle |
