Shipping Rate Increases

Since a great majority of folks here get their knives via Ebay I was wondering if you have noticed the increase in shipping.?
I mailed off a priority mail package on Tuesday and the new shipping rate is $2.00 higher than the previous cost of $4.05. Ouch that hurts..
Of course after seeing things that weigh 2 oz ship for $15.00 on Ebay
maybe we are all too hardened by constant sticker shock to notice these days..

AH! and the other question is; What are they doing with these
constant rate increases? We still seem to keep getting the same old
hit and miss service!

Since the new price structure, I've been sending 7x5x2 boxes for $4.60 Johnnie. I print lables on the USPS website. Maybe I'm doing something wrong? Haven't had them return anything yet though
I'd like to know how our government can keep saying our rate of inflation is so low.
I guess it's all of the six packs of tube socks for $1.00, the Chinese knives for $2.00, and all that crap that's getting plugged into the equation.
