LynnS Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 WOW not good.Wholesalere out of state will be paying more.We have a couple.One has been with us for almost 4 years.Just the other day I asked my husband what was the cost to ship with the large flat rate.It was over $15.00 and now next year will be over $16.Bummer but I guess we have to deal with it.No choice.Just hope we keep our wholesalers,LynnS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
leisa2003 Posted December 10, 2012 Author Share Posted December 10, 2012 Yeah, looks like everything is going up about a buck. It sucks when you ship in volumes too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksranch Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Grrrr is right... people already complain about shipping costs - I wonder if Regional Rate boxes are going to take the same beating... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noodle Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Totally crappy. The Regional boxes have to take a hit. I will adjust my shipping rates after Christmas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rctfavr3 Posted December 10, 2012 Share Posted December 10, 2012 Will the Priority commercial base pricing take a hit? I rarely ship flat rate, to avoid the ever-increasing fees.By weight first class or priority com-based pricing is what I do.Using paypal seems to shaves a little off too!

Here is a more detailed read on all of it....ETA: http://postandparcel.info/51174/news/companies/usps-to-hike-shipping-rates-letter-prices-to-rise-2-6/I'm so glad we can pay bills online these days for free,..I cant see paying .46 cents to mail a check. I'm thinking about purchasing all my supplies locally starting next year, I've already seen on a couple supplier's Facebook pages that they are gearing up to raise their shipping costs..and some "gouge" on their shipping now, I bet they raise their price more than a buck.

I guess a 2% hike isn't that bad. Thanks for the link. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jenn624 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 ugh.. I already hate how high shipping prices are! I'm going to have to hold myself to my vow to buy in bigger bulk from fewer suppliers in 2013. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funkymonkey66 Posted December 11, 2012 Share Posted December 11, 2012 Fedex and UPS are going up too just like every year. It's just out of control anymore. When I look back at invoices from 10+years ago I think WHY didn't I just get a storage lockers and stock up. How much money I would have saved.I'm in the process of trying to get my jar manufacture to carry wax. Either that or I'm renting a truck and driving to PA twice a year and picking up everything. I just have to save somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just wished both of them added new fragrance often though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
