Shipping Carrier Rate Changes

We just want to give you a heads up that in 2011, UPS, USPS, and FedEx are increasing their rates and adjusting their rate calculations.

You can find a bit more about each carrier’s changes through the following links:

UPS

FedEx

The shipping calculators on your website will automatically adjust to meet the new settings set out by the carriers, but you may want to do a quick audit of your shipping settings from time to time to make sure that things are totaling up right.
