Wow! I just printed out a label for a padded flat rate envelope. Up to $6.80. That's a pretty big increase from $5.25.
I like sending "goodies" in our swaps, but this seems a bit much. What do you do? Send first class and go to the post office, pay extra for tracking? Opinions, please. I enjoy our swaps and I can afford it, but...

When I'm sending a wall hanging I prefer to send them flat rather than folding and stuffing them into a small envelope so I will pay a few extra $s for it and be happy. The last one I mailed cost almost $10 and was over 2' square. I think it is money well spent to insure the safe arrival of the quilt to a new home. I do not have extra money to spend so I plan for the cost of mailing.

I had not realized that Priority Mail had a price increase in January, so I had to absorb the extra cost for an order I had to mail out last week. There is supposed to be a price decrease after Income Tax due time, but I don't know if it is for all mail or just 1st Class. I also find it hard to believe they would lower a price.
