Postage rates went up January 21, 2018, some of them significantly. Time to check your shipping rates to be sure that you are charging enough. FCM now goes from $2.66-$4.94 for 1 ounce to 15.9 ounces.
If you ship internationally, especially via Priority mail you want to be sure you have it correct. |

For those that use Endicia or online mail postage, I took the charts for the new postage and eliminated the extraneous stuff out of the charts like last years rates, etc. So this should be what you are needing to see to get rates set or am the only one still trying to get this done?

I don't know if Endicia is having a glitch today or what, but some of the international postage price I can't recreate on my endicia postage program. Even so with these increases, I'm going to cancel shipping internationally. With the price of shipping jumping at some points over $8 between 8 ounces and 12 ounces, I don't want to take chances of holding the bag with me having to cover jumps between weights which don't make any sense. |

@ Moon, you can't just "cancel shipping internationally" unless you run the Global editor to remove all your items from your UK and AU stores. The way you have it now, both stores are still active with FREE shipping! You need to turn on your International shipping ASAP to prevent sales with $0.00 shipping. |

Thank you Sheila and for the heads up. I know I have lost the promotion that those other sites can give me, but as I have started selling more and more non-pattern orders, trying to get the postage right is a real head scratcher at this point. During what passes as our 'Christmas Rush' I had several non-pattern orders that I didn't get the shipping amount right. Not because the Matrix returned the wrong price, but because I hadn't included for instance, the size and weight of a box I would need for the Wilton Snowflake brownie pan I sold. Also a puzzle I sold with $10 S&H turned into almost $20 for shipping With the latest postage jumps, it is too much for my brain. I am hoping to steer my business into something very different eventually and to be selling my own products. |
