Can’t see Russia from my house but I can hear the tiny violins all the way from Toronto.

Canada has had expensive postage forever!
Have a few Canadian friends on the lower southern part, that have postal rental boxes in the northern states ...

I recently shipped a couple small pieces of jewelry Priority Mail.
Something this size/weight cost about $4.00 to mail prior to 10-1.

Had charged the customer $5.00 for shipping, based on cost of postage and the box.

I ended up being charged a little over $6.00 for shipping.

it might not seem like much, but the two pieces of jewelry came to $11.00 cost. I was taking a loss on them to begin with, so now my loss is even bigger.

Have you checked out PirateShip, yet?? They have reduced prices and super easy and convenient to use. Label printers are expensive, but durable. Mine saved me 100s of dollars in the long run. Not to mention time at the PO.

I used this for the first time last week and I would wager it saved me 5 bucks or so, for those who ship more often it probably adds up fast.  Plus you can have custom size boxes that fits the size of your shipment.

Yeah, they have saved me a ton. If you need to ship overseas it saves even more money.
