New Postal Rates for 2013!

Well its that Time of year again where the post office will raise the rates and all us Etsy sellers will have to adjust our shipping rates accordingly! If many of you are like me you sell a lot overseas, and that is where the post office is making the biggest price hikes. A dear teammate of mine form the VJSE team spent a lot of time reviewing and coming up with rates for us Jewelry Sellers. Michelle from Age of Plastic has done a ton of research and come up with some decent estimates!The numbers you see are ZONES as per USPS with a list of countries underneath. The last column is US prices which have not suffered as much. Keep in mind we don't knwo what the discounted rates will be with paypal or DriecCheckout for shipping.

Examples Max Weight 1 2 3 4


ring, earrings, pin 2 oz $6.55 $6.55 $6.55 $6.55


brooch, dress clip, lg earrings 3 oz $7.35 $8.85 $9.45 $9.45

    Argh! The drastic increases for international really suck! I hope they don't hurt my international orders too much, but I don't think they're going to help much :( Thanks for the info!

    Thank you for outlining some prices for the USPS. I went to their website last week and found some of the charts so confusing. I hate that this price hike will affect our overseas buyers to much though.
