It seems that I paid twice what I paid in 2011 to mail one pin in January in a small padded envelope. Or at least I paid 1.5 times what I paid 2011. Is it me, does someone else have the same experience?
 
I have previously posted details about the US Postal rate increase. Due to the thickness of the pin, you can expect to pay about $1.95 for the first 3 ounces.
 
It was under $2.50 with delivery confirmation for me to ship 9 pins. I thought it was going to be more; I was pleased. :p
 
I was paying 1.71 for up to 3 pins in a small padded......now its 1.95 so yeh like a quarter but NIKKI on here made my year by showing me postage on paypal with the printed label and I LOVE IT and it cost 1.64 to mail up to 3 pins! I highly suggest it. Hey Judy must pay $3 for a pin by the time you weigh the tape, tissue, bubble wrap and padlock and chain. JK judy! :angel:

I don't know what it is like for other countries but can I just say that it REALLY annoys me how much I get charged to mail A (as in one!) pin to me? I bought a pin on ebay from America and they actually stuck $1.20 worth of stamps on the envelope (like they didn't even go to the post office there was no customs form or anything on it) and put it in the mail me like that, and charged me $5 for shipping, like, really? REALLY?! Your envelope did not cost $3.80. /soapbox

I pay like 2.35 to ship my pins out!I rather be safe with them than not having the traders not recieve at all

The guy at the postal annex I go to told me they now have to classify the bubble envelopes as a parcel, that's why it's gone up so much.
 
It actually went down for me. Before the change and by buying my postage online, a bubble envelope with Delivery Confirmation was $1.75. Now it is $1.64 since the actual rate went up, but they started doing free confirmation with all e-postage, just not priority, so no more $.19 charge.

!!! I didn't know that.

do you use a service or just print the USPS label thru paypal or the shipping assistant program?

We use both over here -- both paypal shipping, but we also subscribe to endicia because we can do international shipments through it, and it prints up the customs form automatically.
 
It varies. I use both PayPal and Stamps.com. PayPal is nice as while it has monies in there, I can use their shipping app, but it does not do international First Class. Stamps.com charges a $15.99 fee, but I can do International First Class as well as US based, I have a running log of everything I ship, and I can load it with a minimum of $10 per time, instead of USPS that charges your card for every package instead of one lump sum.
