Media Mail Rate Hike effective Jan 22, 2023
One pound rate to rise to $3.63 (from 3.49)
Two pound rate to rise to $4.35 (from $4.19)
Three pound rate to rise to $5.05.
Not quite as bad as last year.
Be sure to look at UPS and FedEx as you handle your shipping labels. Sometimes you can do better with them.

·3 years agoEBay fees have also increased. Need to adjust my listings to make sure I don't lose money on sales.

·3 years agoThey get rid of Regional Rate Priority Mail also. Online bookselling is doomed if they get rid of Media Mails.

·3 years agoI recent sent two very large boxes of books & found that it was cheaper to send USPS Parcel Post instead of Media (saved $1.00 on each). Mailed Tues & person had them by Fri (PA to NC).

·3 years agoYes, sometimes UPS Ground, or FEDEX Home or Ground is cheaper than Media Mail if the distance is not too far and the weight is more than 20 lbs. They are all calculated by distance and weight, not like Media Mail
