blessedxcursed Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 It's always been free. Some people just paid for something that was already included Untrue. The USPS has an internal tracking system that they used but in order for a person to track a package they pay extra. I found this out today too. Gotta work on the shipping costs in my store. Any change in international shipping? I hope it didn't go up, it's already around $18.60 to ship one LP to Euroland. derkwithano 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MahPah Posted June 2, 2015 Author Share Posted June 2, 2015 I'll be excited as soon as they offer media mail up to us Canucks Yeah, I agree with that. I don't get why there isn't a media mail or some kind of cheaper shipping option to/from US and Canada. I understand it has to go through customs and all of that, but there should be a media mail option. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok you don't know what you're talking about. I ship media mail a good bit and I never pay the extra 90 cents for tracking. The PID number on the receipt is and always was traceable on the USPS website.

youspinmeround Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Is it the same price or prices went up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mourning Wood Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I shipped a record media mail two weeks ago and they gave me the tracking number free. They said it was a bug in the system. Maybe they were testing it then? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dusted_By_Space Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 I dropped one in the mail in Saturday at the po, it was 3.17, normally it's 4.24 when I ask for media with tracking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand it has to go through customs and all of that, but there should be a media mail option.Right? Unfortunately I think it is mostly Canada post that is inflating the price. It is only USPS until it crosses the border. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chamb117 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 tracking is always included through paypal custom label, albeit at a surcharge of 23 cents. better than dealing with the dinguses at my local post office. so unless they nixed the 23-cent fee, then... whatevs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 Looks like the cost through PayPal did go down a little bit, too. It was $3.40 for 1-2lbs, now it's $3.22. 213041284s 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GradedOnACurve Posted June 2, 2015 Share Posted June 2, 2015 (edited) I just checked the usual up to 2 pound package I use to ship one LP via Paypal online. It is now $3.22 with tracking included instead of $3.40. Marc beat me to it! Edited June 2, 2015 by victimofadriveby Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
