Does the ups offer the same services with the same rates as the usps? The only usps near me is closed on saturdays so I have to go to a ups that's close. I wanted to mail this small package by priority mail with the usps, it would have cost a little over $5. I want to know if I can do the same at the UPS? As in do they offer this same service? Thanks.

Usps rates increased...:( sheesh!? Am i the only one who thinks the new usps mailing rates are a tiny bit outrageous? i mean i know were only talking like a few cents-.55 cent difference about..but still..i remember priority mail for 1lb cost only $3.85 then went up to $4.05..now that was just a simple .20 cents difference,now it went up to $4.60?? a .55 cent difference? so the difference is now triple since last? also like even just for a .2 oz package was .77 with delivery confirmation through paypal..now its $1.48!!! omg its more Than Doubled!!! i just fear its going to kill my ebay business..i could stand an increase of just a couple cents..but how am i now going to offer my ebay bidders a great deal when shipping is going to be way more..so now the deal wont be such a deal :( but anyways,any ebayers here?and what is your reaction?

Patches, thank you for not answering the question.

Where can I find out insurance rates for US postal services with letters to the UK?

USPS media mail rates with delivery confirmation? I'm starting an online bookstore and have been trying to decipher the muddle of postage rates at USPS.com, but not having much luck. What I'm trying to figure out is if Media Mail rates are charged in 1-lb. increments (as listed at the link below) or if rates are rounded off to the nearest ounce, as with other packages, whether delivery confirmation is available when a book is sent at the Media Mail rate, and if so, how much delivery confirmation would cost. I'd like to offer free shipping if books are shipped at the Media Mail rate but would like to know what sort of postage costs I'd be absorbing. http://pe.usps.com/text/dmm100/postage.htm

What happens to "old rate" stamps when the USPS rate increases? For purely sentimental reasons, I'm interested in two stamps out of a sheet of 20 that the USPS sells. Now that the 39¢ 1st class postage will soon increase to 41¢, and these sheets will thus become obsolete, what will happen to their unsold stock? I'd buy as many of those two stamps as I could muster — I'd even make an offer to my Postmaster — would they consider it? Or is there a Postal Code that would rather (egad) see all stamps destroyed than break up a sheet? I believe I have some time to make this offer, if anyone out there can lend advice --- thx!
