Did they raise there online rate from $5 to $5.15? Or am I missing something?

That's what happens when they keep giving the mail carriers the Monday after a weekend holiday off.

Honestly...my USPS stuff from CI gets to SoCal (and NorCal when I was in school) in two days. Ups took 7+. USPS has always done me right and if paying a few extra cents too keep them in business is all it takes, I'm all for it! Besides, that VHS box fits 5'ers perfect!

Yeah, but if I send out 50 bombs this year, it costs me an extra $7.50.

With the troop support boxes I send out each month, I am personally keeping the Bethel PO open. Or so says the Postmaster.

That's only if you can get them at 75% off MSRP. They seem to own the market for the most inflated MSRP only to be able to buy them at such a "steal".
