Going to cost extra to send those packages for the holidays. Depending on the service, $.05 to $$. Starts before Thanksgiving in some cases. So, the way I read it, there will be surcharges on the already added charges for the holidays from UPS and FedEx. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif)

Shipping rates have really skyrocketed since COVID.

My hypothesis is that there's not nearly as much available commercial airliner (or passenger bus*) cargo space to shuttle things around so their rates are higher.

*A buddy and I just did a quick CT->FL->CT run to grab some scooters. We both noticed that we saw exactly zero passenger buses the whole trip. None.
