Glenn and others: US Postal Service increased postal rates today for the first time in four years. Priority mail package will rise from $ 3.00 to $ 3.20 (6.67%). I spoke with AMZN customer service today and was told that AMZN has not announced any price increases for shipping. Assuming that it will now cost AMZN $ 3.20 to ship merchandise do you think that AMZN will eat the increase or pass it on to customers ? Can UPS be far behind with a price increase ?
