GBFans Shop - USPS Shipping Price Increases

·January 22, 2016· 2 min read

The United States Postal Service have updated their pricing in their annual adjustment on Sunday January 17th.

This year marks one of the biggest price increases in recent years. Most prices increased an average of 10% over the previous year. Lightweight First Class Mail shipments (under 14 oz) have increased about 50 cents. Priority Mail shipments (over 1lb) have gone up by about $1.00, with shipments costing more the heavier and farther away from our warehouse they are traveling.

International customers are hardest hit with and average increase of 20% on First Class International (under 4lbs). The lightweight packages under 1lb are increasing by an average of $5.00. International shipments now start at about $13-14, even if there is only 1 lightweight item and regardless of item cost. A $2.00 item costs $13-14 to ship internationally as a result of the new change in pricing structure. There are no cheaper options available through any other carriers.

International Priority and Express EMS shipping is increasing by an average of 10%

All Ghostbusters Fans Shop order shipping rates are calculated and provided by the USPS through an API. We have worked very hard to ensure all costs are accounted for. We pride ourselves in offering accurate and fair shipping prices, but we understand some of the new prices are harder to bare.

Please make sure you have everything you need in your cart when you checkout! As a reminder, we do not combine package shipments at this time. If you forget an item, please contact us as soon as possible and we may be able to add it and invoice you for the cost difference without much of an impact to shipping costs.

If you placed an order before January 17th, and your order ships after the 17th, you will not be charged for the additional price increase. The price you were provided with when you ordered will be honored despite the loss. We will cover the difference.
