Subject: [CR] Anyone noticing the steep increases in costs to ship overseas?

I just got back from the Post Office.

The single jersey in the same packaging that cost me $4.95 to mail domestically last week cost me nearly $6 today. The real shocker came when I mailed a single Jersey to the United Kingdom and it was nearly $27! Just last week I shipped two jerseys in the same packaging to Australia and it was $26. . My Goodness, it's getting to the point where I am very close to not selling anything to overseas buyers because I'm ashamed of what I'll have to charge them for shipping. I hesitate to think what those shipping whole bikes abroad must be going through!
