Got a bit of a shock when I went to print postage for a one pound book.  The cost is now $4.13 --- a 21 cent jump. Two pounds is $4.87, a 20 cent jump. Three pounds is $5.61, which I think is a 26 cent jump. I seldom ship out books in that weight range.

Is DeJoy having his office redecorated again?

I have fond memories of media mail being $1.59 for the first pound when I first started trading books online.

I'm just happy media mail still exists as it is shipped at a loss to USPS.
