Renewed my post office box today was looking at the payment history for the cost for this. In September 20 20, it was $106 a year. Now it’s $182 a year. That’s the most inflation I’ve seen so far. Quite the jump. Must be those darned profiteering postal workers! --24.152.xxx.xx

Because they can. --69.130.xxx.xxx

That’s right, but I can’t. That’s taking $1000 house to $1800. --24.152.xxx.xx

Same here POB renewal $200 a year. --172.59.xxx.xx

Someone has to be paid with mail in ballots now being a "thing" --64.246.xxx.xx

Oh well what are you gonna do? "The rent's too high!" :) --173.28.xx.xxx

I’m going to pay it because I have to and figure inflation is somewhere between 22-72% --24.152.xxx.xx

You are always whining about running the PO as a business so I will correct your vocabulary. Profiteering. An econ 101 class would help you. --208.102.x.xxx

At least 50%. --76.129.xxx.xx

I’ve never once whines about the post office. I don’t really cares. It’s just one more thing that’s suffering from scamdemic inflation. Aka Monopoly money. Common sense 101. --24.152.xxx.xx

Oh JAC, you must be referring to the stamps? That goes way back to Ray mentioning buying them as an inflation hedge. You were off the clock around then since there wasn’t much democratic nonsense in the news around that time you needed to defend. --24.152.xxx.xx

Maybe when she gets in office, she will cap P.O. Box rental like she plans on capping rent house prices??? --66.169.xxx.xxx

I thought I’m the only one who noticed. I’ve thought about cancelling mine as it makes no sense now that I’ve downsized so much. I mostly just get junk there now anyway. It has doubled in price over the past few years. --75.89.xxx.xxx

The Canada postal service is facing challenges where they have stuck to the old way of doing things in a structural change in economy. Now there is less revenue as result of online billing along with most the goods shipped online are done by private companies that have 7 day a week delivery. In the meantime they are increasing postal rates along trying to stick to the way things were done a lot time ago. In the house across the street can pick up mail in the postal box where on the other side of the street they use mail carries to go door to door to deliver mail. One thing I prefer about having online with post office is put in postal box across the street where there is no theft possible. So in the end the situation in the Us is much the same where government run does not want to change with times. So in the end the post office is operating at a loss. Maybe after the election definitely a Progressive Conservative is elected where they are going to look at cost cutting. --216.110.xxx.xxx

Not complaining about it, the boy needs a good work ethic. --107.147.xx.xx

Waiting for Sid's update. --76.129.xxx.xx

more of yellen's "transitory inflation" be happy... --71.14.xxx.xx

Stamp prices seem to go up every few months. The post office's main problem is declining volume however, they're my go to for priority mail as it's far cheaper than the private services. I think Fedex next day deliver is north of $ 50.00 and two-day is about half of that. Two day priority mail runs around $ 9.00. --23.28.xx.xx

Hmmmmm it is only $78 here --24.101.xxx.xxx

I decided to start using my rooming house as my "mailing address." I stop by a couple times a week anyway, and there's no extra cost! --104.230.xxx.xxx

just paid $220 for a year. the yearly has only gotten out of hand in the last 3 years. i am excited about the opportunity economy harris is promising. we all need the opportunity to spend more to get less. the joy will be unbearable. i have already advised my tenants that if harris gets in there will be maximum rent hikes as often as the law allows. i'm in california so the idiots can pay for their mistakes --76.176.xxx.xxx
