On Aug. 20 USPS will raise rates of international priority mail and
international surface air lift. Both services are popular with e-commerce mailers. It is a second and unexpected price increase mid-year. http://www.linns.com/news/postal-upd...-services.html Victor Manta, PWO ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Philatelic Webmasters Organization: http://pwmo.org/ Art on Stamps: http://artonstamps.org/ Romania by Stamps: http://marci-postale.com/ Communism on Stamps: http://reds-on.postalstamps.biz/ Spanish North Africa: http://www.sna-on.postalstamps.biz/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- |

Jean-Paul wrote that the same costs 1.3 EUR when sent through La Poste. That's 40% more... For the times they are a-changin'. If I remember well, DP increased its postal rates just one time in the last about 15 years, that means since it was privatized. Amicalement, Victor |

... Well, the USPS is in the middle muddle at exactly 1 Euro for a minimum letter. One Eur at USPS is somewhere between 0.90 Eur at the Deutsche Post (DP) and 1.3 Eur at La Poste indeed but it's not so favorable anymore, because: - the USPS rates will increase soon - the volume of mail is much higher inside the US, which should drive the rates down. This makes the privatized German PO the true postal rates champion and an example to follow for others. AFAIK the DP service is good. Victor |

Victor The USPS is wasting too much money with erratic processing. Thus they need to 'compensate; by raising prices to discourage 'personal use' of the system. such use has been deemed 'inefficient'. As an example, after a 17 day 'hold' in the international processing center south of San Francisco, my tracked mail went up to Seattle, waited a day, went to Federal Way [about 15 miles] and waited a day, went to Tacoma [another 10 miles] and waited a day, then was sent to a small coastal community, not mine! It then waited another day, went back to Tacoma, waited two days and finally came out to our hamlet where the USPS offers 'service' for 4 hours a day and NO delivery. Its all the extra handling that's requiring the increases as 'personal use' is not pre barcoded, pre zip bundled and is an annoyance to many of the workers in the processing centers. --- This email has been checked for viruses by Avast antivirus software. https://www.avast.com/antivirus |
