You would think that they would get better with their on time delivery and tracking.

Fed Ex had a hefty increase in early January, USPS' is smaller percentage-wise but comes this April....I think.

 

So much for all those increases that came and went because of rising fuel costs.

I had not started looking at FedEx....that's a bummer cause they were always competitive and RELIABLE.

If you're not doing B2B Fedex becomes even more problematic with their residential delivery fees.

And god forbid if you live outside an urban area and get their rural delivery fees as well.

Well I guess the price of comics with free shipping will be going up soon as well.  Take advantage of the temporary arbitrage by buying comics with free shipping before they get relisted/updated.  Looks like it's really only significant for international shipping.
