THE PRICE OF DOING BUSINESS: DON’T BLAME THE VENDORS

Recently I have noticed a lot of vapors complaining about the cost of shipping from US vendors.  The PACT ACT is the reason.  That means an adult signature is now required.  Every package now has a $6.20 fee on top of the cost of postage.

If your package is over one pound the minimum you would pay for shipping would be $13.95.  That is a priority flat rate envelope (can’t ship first class over a lb) plus the cost of the adult signature.

This is not the fault of the merchant, but the cost of doing business.   You can thank your politicians and our lazy community for not being more involved.  Yes, OUR lazy community.  We sit, we watch, we do nothing, and then complain about it.

Next time, get involved 🙂
