International postage rates

[Gordon Maney]

The international postage rates have, over a period of time, gone up disproportionately to the domestic rates. The most recent increase, about three or four months ago, was substantial.

I am needing to increase the international subscription rates and will do so in the near future. The old rates are still in place now and will be accepted until the new rates are in place. If you are a current subscriber and want to beat the rate change, feel free to renew at this rate. If you're thinking about a new international subscription now, this would certainly be the time. I'm guessing I'll get this new rate in place sometime in the next 2 to 3 weeks.

Presently a Canadian or Mexican subscription has postage and envelope costs of $32.76 US per year. All other international customers have postage and envelope cost of $42.24 per year. In contrast, a domestic subscription's postage costs are about $6.15 per year.

The new Canadian rate will be, once posted, $82.50. An increase of $1.29 per issue.

The new all other international rate will be $92. An increase of $.33 per issue.

OUCH! Maybe that's why our Postal Service is in the hole? Not complaining by any means.

I admit, I don't know how international rates are determined, or who gets the money.

Great! Good move.

Can we still renew up to 2 years on the old rate?
