<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Hiddendragon, post: 1406319, member: 25270&quot;]I buy a lot of coins on eBay, sometimes getting five or six shipments a day. Four times in the last month or so, I&#039;ve gotten a &quot;postage due&quot; slip instead, and had to go to the post office to pay the postage and pick up the coin. This has happened maybe once or twice in all the time up to now that I have been buying coins, but now it is almost a weekly occurence. I know from shipping coins that I&#039;ve sold that the post office&#039;s fees are a bit of a mystery. I find that if I have coins in a padded envelope and I take it to the counter, they&#039;ll charge me $1.95 minimum, which I guess is the parcel rate, but I can go to the automatic machine and usually pay a little more than a dollar. I haven&#039;t had a problem with this yet. So why the different rates for the same package? It all goes together. It seems like lately they&#039;ve started charging a lot more things as &quot;parcel&quot; that they used to allow at a cheaper rate, and all of the items I&#039;ve been getting &quot;postage due&quot; were charged as parcel but the person shipped them cheaper. All of these shippers are veteran sellers who do this all the time, and they&#039;re doing the same thing they always did, but all of a sudden it isn&#039;t working. Today&#039;s example I thought was particularly ridiculous. It was one coin, wrapped one time around in bubble wrap and placed into a regular envelope. The shipper used a 45 cent stamp, and the post office charged me an extra $1.50. The evelope barely weighed anything and didn&#039;t stick out much, but I guess it stuck out too much for their exacting standards, at least according to the clerk. I was wondering if anyone else is noticing this or if it&#039;s just my local post office that is getting more strict?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
