    UPS and FedEx have announced a 6% shipping rate increase that is effective January 1, 2010.

    This will probably result in a price increases on everything else. :cry:

    FedEx and UPS Increase their rates ever January 1st. The PO Is having a rate increase also both January 1 and in May. I can't remember if January 1 is the boxes and international and in May its the letters and all national 1st class. The post office figures that since the other two carriers can/will/do increase their fees yearly so can they and it was built into the last time they asked for a rate increase, so theirs is now automatic . Which reminds me when I go to work Monday I have to install the new rate card into the shipping manifest :hunf:
