Just wait until UPS goes on strike in August. You think a 5% increase in a first class stamp is high....if the Teamsters get what they are asking for...get ready to pay significantly more to ship a package. $10/hr raises across the board for all full time union employees is just one of the demands. $25/hr immediately for all part timers. Should be fun if they strike. Since USPS can’t strike...they’ll get inundated with packages being diverted to them...more than already happens.

Their prices are already stupid high. To mail a Tshirt or two, right about 1lb total. Used to cost $5-6, now they charge $12-13 for it! And this union deal will likely push all their prices up 20-50%.
