Increased shipping.
Seems like it was just a few months ago, couldn't have been earlier than the summer, that the minimum for shipping bubble mailers went from $2.67 to $3. Dropped off a trade package yesterday and found out that this Sunday (21st) the minimum will increase to $3.50. Regular stamps go from $0.49 to $0.50. So get those trade talks wrapped up quick.
I collect Andre Johnson, JJ Watt, Redskins who played in the 70’s & 80’s, HOF’ers and Texas A&M Aggies.

40-year old mail trucks require a lot of maintenance costs...and those that drive them will need retirement funds.

RE: Increased shipping.
I get an eBay store discount and it costs me about $2.60 to ship a bubble mailer... I remember back in the early 2000s when it was blasphemous to charge above $2 for shipping, but inflation alone puts that figure pretty close to $3 in 2018.
