wow, those prices are ridiculous!! It may be worth it to stick with first class mail for international. Looks like after the price change, you'll be able to send a package that is 16 ounces (1lb) to Canada for 10.55, so that almost cuts the price in half.
Thanks Barbara and Caryl Anne for your teaching me. I was writing it down and I already thought (?) something was off. When (or if) push comes to shove. Alright then. I had a laugh to when I read your answer, Barbara. The fabric is going to triple in price, and so the swap is indeed getting too expensive to last being fun to do. But I can still work something out with my husband and his Michigan office, when he gets there. I noticed that there is plenty of time to subscribe to the swaps, so I should be able to participate occasionally.

Caryl Anne ,I use to write a gal in New Zealand when I was in school and all mail then was air mail and cost me about 30 cents . Oh how I wish those days were still here for postage ..LOL Barbara

Do y'all remember the days of First class and AIR MAIL?? OK so I am dating myself, but I would think if I am mailing to California or Florida, that mail is going to go on a plane, so why pay for AIR MAIL if it isn't going to crawl there anyway. Same for international, no mail goes by boat so why pay priority if the first class (regular mail) is going on the same plane? Just saying!
It's a good point. I wonder how much the delivery confirmation has gone up? I think once my Priority Forever envelopes run out, I might switch to first class + deliv. conf. for certain things and see how it goes..

Looks like track and confirm is now 0.90 at the post office or 0.20 online .. or free with certain other postage purchased online..
I have The Stamps.com service and I do pay a monthy fee but my confirmation is free wihen I buy post . Its really nice to have this in my home Barbara
Thank you, I will let you know.
