In-News: Why Snail Mail Costs More Than Escargot

In-News: Why Snail Mail Costs More Than Escargot

By Shannon Yarbrough on November 11, 2008

While our fellow reviewer LK Gardner-Griffie was preparing for her WITW is MMC promo, she fell victim to Lulu’s price hike in production expenses, and she also pointed out to me that Lulu has increased its shipping expenses as well…

…my surprise over the increase in the shipping costs from a couple weeks ago to this is astounding…USPS media mail has increased from 3.95 to 5.90 for shipping one hard bound, so net increase of $4.95 over all. And gas prices have gone down. . . .go figure.
