WELL THE DAY HAS FINALLY COME! I tried, I really tried over the past 4 years to keep postage costs down (at least reasonable) but it seems like the days of just an envelope & a stamp are OVER for lower priced items. Customers are reporting even longer delays as the post office tries to figure out how to ship mail efficiently (hopefully someday they will). Effective 08/01/23 , all new listings regardless of price will have to be shipped with tracking, the new Ground advantage program seems to be the cheapest. The cost will be around .00 for starters (more if the item is larger and heavier). Of course I will work with buyers to give them combined shipping where available. My SUGGESTION is to purchase a few items at the same time to offset the postage requirement. Thanks again to ALL customers, past, present and future!
