Postage
rates change effective 22 January 2012
Version 1.08 of the program has these new rates. Previous versions of the program will need to be manually
updated.
Here are the rates effective 22 January 2012 and the suggested shipping
method.
There are thickness and uniformity of thickness restrictions.
The envelope charge is 10 cents.
I have found that I could send most 3 oz items as Letter rate. Then the
postage is only $0.85
