I just thought I'd post this here as many of you are my bidders on
MoviePosterBid
It's a new rate sheet for USPS.
They've been raising the rates regularly now and I haven't increased
my rates in 2 years, which means I've been eating the increases since
then, which are substantial and have been eating into my auction sales.
The biggest change is that I have had to institute 4 "Zones" for USA
shipping and tweaked the number of posters we can send you for those prices.

Obviously, being in Las Vegas, some states are closer and many are
farther distance wise and the USPS rates for New York (for instance)
have a major change from $9.00 to $11.00, but California & near
states have a reduction from $9.00 to $8.00
The initial # of posters we can send for the base rate has not
changed, but the secondary charges for overweight shipments have a
small reduction in the # of posters for each added increment
(Currently, the second increment is 7 one sheets. It will be 6 one
sheets. It was 24 lobby cards, it will be 20)
I have not yet edited the International rates which have increased
sharply in the most recent rate increase by the USPS. I expect to be
finishing the rate sheet this weekend.
We may also be adding an additional service for USA bidders. It's
possible I may be able to send US packages First Class instead of
Priority Mail for a small decrease in rates. I am currently studying
this to see if it can be an effective way to decrease your costs as buyers
These rates will go into effect AFTER the current auction of 30x40s
(for which I need to add new rates) and will be for all shipments
after February 7th that are paid after that date. Anyone wishing to
lock in the current rates for shipments before the increase takes
place, please pay me for your auctions by February 7th, or you will
be paying the new rates for your shipments
thanks
