INTERNATIONAL POSTAL RATES HAVE GONE UP

HELLO ALL
I just wanted to let all especially all who buy seeds from the USA , i used to charge $3.00 USD for shipping and that worked well because most of the time the shipping approached that price anyway, but i notice starting recently that i had to charge another buck, but now im told i have to charge two more dollars that's crazy 6 dollars for international postage, the post office are a bunch of bandits and there service stinks

sorry to all that wish to buy but postal rates have gone up for international shipping

thanks and sorry

your friend Joe
 
Tell me about it! On top of that, the customs agents may just add some arbitrary value to the package and the costs fly out the window. I had 79 bucks added to a book. I called, and was told that "too bad- customs does what they want". The sorry bunch of 'em need a good hangin.
 
Yeah it is crazy - I had a guy ask me how much it was to ship a case of my sauce to Australia - I hadn't done an international shipment in a while so I casually said "about $40-$50" because I vaguely remembered it costing about that some time ago.

But then I went and checked the USPS website - $110! holy S$%^^!!
 
yeah it isn't bad enough that there service sucks and the postal employees are doing a crappy job and in some ways i dont blame them given what they have been given but its the customers that suffer for everything
not right not fair and then like hotty brown and matanzima have said by the time the powers that be take there cut its the customer that gets left holding the bag again
i try to keep my prices ridiculously low so that people can afford to buy more,but more means more postage it also really stinks when you end up paying more for the postage than for cost of what your buying
they get you coming and going and the sadder thing is there is no one else that you can take it to to get it where it needs to go
i just wish there was an alternative or more that can be done, times are tough we dont need greedy people making them worse!!

AGAIN ALL I WILL DO WHAT I CAN ON MY END BUT I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THE POSTAL SERVICE (MORE LIKE postal DISSERVICE)
thanks your friend Joe
 
local rates increased too.

the service sucks, the lines are outrageous, I send 2-day priority and it takes 3-5 days - and hey have the balls to raise prices every #!&*%!#$! year.

I friggin hate the USPS.
 
yup unless something is done its going to keep happening, they can do what they want with impunity because they know they the only game in town

thanks your friend Joe
 
Read the fine print after the politicians keep preaching it’s a global economy … “it’s only one for the big corporations that support dem, the small guys always suffer,” and they know it :(
