Yeah folks...they are going up again!

What does everyone think of the Postal Office raising their rates on us yet again?

Do you think this will change the way you do business?

I guess the post office is probably feeling the affects of the rise in gas prices cutting into their revenue...but, I can't believe it's going up again....this will certainly affect home business moms who already have to charge quite a bit to have their products delivered to their customers.

The penny wont make a difference for me personally because I hardly snail mail anything first class anyhow.
Now I'll wait til March to see what priority/express increases are going to be but it really won't affect anything we do at Affordable Mineral Makeup as far as I can tell.
We don't ship catalogs since we're eco-friendly so it'd only affect our actual product shipping and right now we've got it at a flat rate per order no matter the size of order and foresee that remaining the same.
But everything goes up, gas, food, veggies, services, mortgages, etc.. just a sign of the times
