I remember when 1/2 the stuff that shipped from Amazon was via parcel pocket pool. I don't know what changed but now it's like 1%. Maybe it's because I stopped using my PO Box address?
Speaking of derailment, I got an email from the PO today:
Advance Notice to POBOL PO Box Customers - January 2024 Price Change.
If your PO Box renewal fees are due in January, and you would like to renew at the existing rate, please visit usps.com/poboxes to renew before January 21, 2024. Fees paid on or after that date are subject to new rates.
I clicked the link to see if I could beat the new rate becoming effective, but the link doesn't provide any information about a rate increase and my bill isn't due until September. But it did allow me the opportunity to get frustrated about how much they have raised rates by looking at my transaction history:
2021: $162
2022: $202
2023: $216
2024: $TBD?
