    Not good, but not the end of the world. A ~5% increase in shipping rates is bearable.

    Yeah, we`re approaching the point where shipping is going to equal (or exceed) the cost of the item. It`s definitely off-putting

    Sorry reality sucks ... this isn`t just for companies with commercial accounts, this is for everyone .. this also includes probably USPS since Smart Post rates are included

    i forsee more vendors having product avalible on Amazon for just this reason. I hate shipping companies making hard on the small sized vendor to just promote and sell their own products but Amazon can cover us at least with the free prime shipping lol

    I don`t ship as a business, but I do sell somewhat regularly on eBay. I never use FedEx because their shipping costs are almost always higher than the alternatives (USPS or UPS tend to be less expensive in all my experiences), in some cases I`ve even seen their pricing DOUBLE that of their competitors.

    Looks Like AMAZON Prime will be more valuable in the future.

    We get much better rates with UPS in my business. FedEx does not value the smaller shipper IMHO

    Freight is real, but it still sucks.

    Shipping in general has gotten more expensive, which is curious as fuel prices have gone down considerably since their peak in 2013.

    UPS (business rates) have gone up too. Earlier this year. Far more than 5%.
