postage
Shipping.
Prices of everything are always going to go up... it's how inflation works. & the increasing prices of fuel have an effect on just about everything. I have to say though, that while I did expect an increase, I did NOT expect such a drastic one for international parcels. $6+ for international? That's how much it costs to ship a small package (under 200g) from Canada to the US! So we're pretty even now...
USPS is subsidized by the government, while Canada post is not. So there are differences, and I don't really know how the US postal system works anyways, but yea.
Going to post sales in a day or two. I'll be going to the US on the 19-20 to ship things! I'll likely be able to go again in February, so anything I don't ship this month, will be on it's way next month.
I DID NOT GET HIT BY CUSTOMS!!!!! HIP HIP HOORAY!
Declared @ $650 + marked as merchandise vs. $300 + marked as gift
the latter got taxed............. Someone must have been having a really bad day that day, and took it out on me..
anyways!
LOOK AT WHAT I GOT! ~~~lucky pack contents~~~~
I am in a good mood right now. Have pictures of my BB. Can you guess what she got for Christmas?
