USPS Shipping Rate Updates

On January 27, 2013 the new USPS shipping rates went into effect.  I am providing the chart below so that customers will have a guide for my Etsy shops Anothertimeantiques and FragmentsAnotherTime. 

Special Notice on US Priority Mail by Zones:   I will use the cross country zone rates.  Packages in the 14z and up will require a zip code in the US for most accurate pricing.   As always, I encourage customers to contact me with their delivery zip code prior to purchasing the item.   I can then calculate the best shipping rate and create a reserved listing for you.

 Good News!  With the increase in international rates, the USPS is adding global tracking for First Class Package Service as well as Priority.    Not all countries are included yet.
