Not sure where else to put this, news just broke that USPS is adding 8% surcharge starting in April 2026. I guess if you use USPS better ship earlier or start price shopping. Or I guess we can eat the cost too

All part of the plan to fully privatize it. Good luck! Glad I'd done shipping the card boxes, seems like a ton of hassle these days.

No surprise. They're hemorrhaging money. Service cuts will happen by the end of the year regardless. The question is by how much.
