Online Merchants Face USPS Annual Increases With Shipping Costs

Hello to all, and Welcome to LilacsNDreams!:) WOW! Where has the time gone again? I thought I was just in here the other day, but evidentally not:(  

I am one of those who gets newsletters from Auctionbytes all the time. Annoying, but good though too. I can keep updated with different things that would effect me as a seller, and also a shopper too. Keep updated with some of the different marketplaces, and etc. Anyway....here is one of the latest announcements from them.....

Reading AuctionBytes: Online Merchants Face Annual Increase in Shipping Costs
Share  Whichever carrier you use to ship your orders, you'll be paying more beginning in January. FedEx announced on Friday it would increase shipping rates for FedEx Ground and FedEx Home Delivery by a net average of 4.9% effective January 3, 2011. Like UPS, the 2011 rates are actually rising by 5.9% but will be offset by a 1% reduction in the fuel surcharge. FedEx had previously announced it would increase shipping rates for FedEx Express, also effective January 3, 2011, and said it would implement a change to the dimensional weight volumetric divisor from 194 to 166 for U.S. domestic services. The USPS had announced that its prices for Priority Mail and other Shipping Services would increase overall by 3.6% effective January 2, 2011, pending Postal Regulatory Commission review. In related news, UPS said that it expected to deliver an estimated 430 million packages between Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I know it is not something we all like to hear about, but it is happening with some of the services. As for the USPS Services it looks like they are waiting on a pending review....just have to see what happens.

Well, hope everyone is having a great week, and the weather is good where you are. Also, that you are having some good sales. Please remember to visit my store at LilacsNDreams for Artfire.  Also, I have been working with inventory on my LilacsNDreams store for Ecrater too.  

Take care everyone, and thanks for visiting with LilacsNDreams. Stop by again sometime:)

Hello everyone, and welcome to LilacsNDreams Store Blog!:) Boy, the time is just slipping by me here lately, what about you?:)

Ok, I have opened my other store at artfire which I am selling repurposed, upcycled, hand made, and reconstructed treasures by me. The store name I have chosen for that is PassnItOn I have a few pieces listed there, more to add, finish some pieces to add, and have more goodies to work on to add too. So, check in with it, and keep an eye on it as never know what I will list there:) Also, please remember that Artfire is not only for Hand Made, but also offers Vintage, Supplies, Fine Art, Media, and Design. So, check them out when you can, and also visit my vintage collectibles store that which is LilacsNDreams. 

Also, I am working on adding things back into my eCrater Store. What does not meet the criteria for Artfire will be listed with the ecrater store. So, make sure to check there for some wonderful home decor, pottery, collectibles, kitchenware, and so on.

Thanks for visiting with me, and hope to see you again. Take care, have a super Sunday, and a wonderful week. Best of luck to all of you!:)
