USPS Shipping Updates
Hi all!
I'm not sure how well the news has spread, but on July 12th, the USPS is raising their rates:
USPS pricing update via Pirate Ship
As I understand, this will affect parcels to and from non-continental/contiguous locations. I use services like Pirate Ship for a discount on click-n-ship orders, but with this new change, I'm concerned that as a Hawaii resident, shipping (and receiving) anything under 1 lb will be problematic.
I am assuming that I will still have the standard ounce-based rates if I stand in line at the post office, but that means I won't know the official shipping costs until after the package has been sent. Small and light items like zines may be too expensive to ship alone.
USPS rates as of 2026.07.10
If you're interested in purchasing any of my lighter items like my zines, please put your order in by July 11th/Saturday morning HST. On Sunday, I'll have to make some changes to my shop, likely removing smaller items until I can figure a better pricing system. Stickers-only orders will ship via letter-mail, so it won't be affected.
So sorry for the late notice! Here's hoping I can find a workable solution!
