So they have to raise prices on everything else. Astronomically. A post box is about 10 times what it was in 2000. They've tried every gimmick. Flat rates, regional boxes, now forever boxes. Certified, insured. Postal store items. All triple, 5x or more. Regional boxes cancelled. Flat rates only on tiny boxes now. Consumers get less and less as they pay more and more. This is not a business, it's a racket.
