Email arrived today...

"Effective January 3, 2011, UPS Daily Rates will increase as follows: UPS Ground services will increase a net 4.9% through a combination of a 5.9% increase in rates and a 1% reduction in the UPS Ground fuel surcharge; UPS Air and International services will increase a net 4.9% through a combination of a 6.9% increase in rates and a 2% reduction in the UPS Air and International services fuel surcharge.*

Are they passing along their costs to us?

Am I correct that the US Postal Service has not announced parcel rate increases for January? If that's true then we'll shift much of our shipping to the Post Office.

Seems like I remember the post office just requested a rate hike and got turned down.
