Notice of Upcoming Postage Rate Changes
The Geode Gallery
On May 14, 2007, the United States Postal Service (USPS) ( www.usps.com ) is increasing its postage rates. This has an effect on everything we send through the post office, but we want to give you specifics on our most-popular packages and shipping methods, and order deadlines in order to fully understand and prepare for this postage rate change. Information contained below was taken from the postal service's news releases on their website.
DEADLINE INFORMATION: The postage rate change takes effect on Monday, May 14th, 2007. Therefore, Saturday, May 12th, 2007, is the last day that current rates published on our website will be in effect. All orders received prior to 9AM on Saturday, May 12th will be charged the current published rates on the website, with orders received after 9AM on May 12th being charged the new rates that will take effect on May 14th.
MOST IMPORTANT PACKAGE RATE CHANGES: Priority mail rates (non-flat rate box) will go up from $4.05 to $4.60 for a package weighing 1.00 pound or less. The flat-rate Priority Mail boxes (currently $8.10) will increase to $8.95. All other Priority Mail packages (not flat-rate boxes) above 1.00 pounds will also increase and is still dependent on weight and destination. If you have any questions concerning postal rate changes, please see the postal service's website listed above or visit your local post office for official pricing changes.
One thing that will NOT change is our policy of shipping. We never charge a handling/packing fee, nor do we raise prices on our products to try to offset any expenses associated with order processing/packing. We only charge the actual price we pay at the post office or through a courier or regular freight, and it will always be that way.
