“We’re goin’ up up up!” as the big hit song goes.

Has Amazon also imposed shipping surcharges? I don't buy from there, so I don't know.

I saw this news about the 8% USPS surcharge last night and wondered whether it is a further ploy to kill the USPS by making Amazon more competitive.

Amazon uses USPS and also delivers for them. Is the USPS charging the 8% to Amazon as well? Or, did Bezos get a special deal to undercut the USPS?

@shansterable @georgetakei Most consumers who use Amazon regularly are Prime members, so they won’t see an increase in shipping costs.

Small businesses that list their products on Amazon will likely have a surcharge added to our fulfillment fees like we do at Christmas.
