The listing said shipping was $15 (which I knew was from zone 7, and sounded roughly correct). The package arrived today, sent via Ground Advantage, and marked as 15.9 oz. Before I opened it, I dropped it on my scale … 3-lbs + 2 -oz. To me, that is just egregious. Being off half an ounce I might understand, but the seller wanted to maximize their profit. Hopefully, USPS APV picked it up and charged them for the difference. Nita Rae sounds like they charged the correct price, here is a 3 poud 2 ounce package fro Arkansas - Kentucky: Ground Advantage is $11.65 https://postcalc.usps.com/Calculator/MailServices?country=0&ccode=US&oz=72315&omil=False&dz=40220&dmil=False&retail=False&mdt=10%2F10%2F2023&mdz=15%3A59&m=6&hscode=False&p=3&o=2 You may be missing the point … The postage label said Ground Advantage 15.9 ozs which is $6.60 (zone 7) The Notice 123 says that Ground Advantage 3+2 (which would be the 4 pound row is $11.49 (zone 7). They may have charged me a reasonable price, but they scammed USPS by misrepresenting the package weight. With luck the APV scales at one of the USPS plants will have caught it and charged them the PM rate ($18.57). Nita Rae
