Yesterday, June 14th, through ebay shipping, I printed a USPS ground advantage shipping label for a 4 pound 10x10x8 package to zone 4. I paid $6.93. I even mentioned my surprise at how cheap it was to my helper. Today, June 15th, I needed a label for a 2 pound 10x10x8 package to zone 5. It cost $8.62. I realize it costs more to ship to a higher numbered zone but todayâ€™s package was 2 pounds lighter than yesterdayâ€™s package. Something just didnâ€™t seem right. Out of curiosity I went back in yesterdayâ€™s order and re-calculated the shipping. The amount now is $8.00, an increase of $1.07. Wondering if I had entered something wrong, I tried multiple combinations of weights and sizes and could never come up with the $6.93 I did yesterday. Iâ€™m totally bewildered at what happened. I cannot come up to that amount no matter what I enter. I even tried on click n ship. What could have possibly happened?
