She said it's for the holiday season and then is supposed to go back down, I asked her when has the govt ever lowered the price after they've raised it. She agreed but that's just the word they were given. Sometimes nothing can be a real cool hand

According to above the same box now costs 9.20 via USPS. I think I'll front the extra dollar for much better service Gotta live up to the nickname...

It seems to be a post office ruse to promote priority mail as quicker and better, when it's now the same as regular mail for a higher cost ! Still much cheaper for me than any other shipping method, but I don't care for the ruse factor !! Sorry if my opinions or replies offend you, they are not meant to !

Have you talked to Bud to see if they got there? Their tracking can't be trusted. I have had several packages that tracking shows they didn't arrive, but they did.
