That's it, nail in the coffin, small business in America is dead...USPS raised prices
I just paid $9.92 to ship a 1.1LB package to Indiana (one of the new Crappie.com mugs). This is nuts, how can a small business operate. I've not checked but under a pound stuff sent first class prolly went up too. But really, it used to be 5.95 to ship 1.1 lb Priority Mail not too long ago either, now they want ten bucks, they are nuts. Betcha Amazon ain't paying the USPS that much. They cut big deals together, and the small guy gets burned. IMHO
Please don't make this political, but someone really needs to start thinking about Small Businesses in this country. We're the backbone, and the straw is starting to break it.
