Like many I imagine, I received an email from Maggards
To all of our loyal International customers
International postage rates are going up on June 24, 2020
Economy International will be going up anywhere from 15% - 50% from current levels depending on the weight of the parcel and what country you are located in. This is due to the re-negotiation of rates in the Universal Postal Union (UPU). For years, the USA was subsidizing incoming parcel rates into our mail system. Finally, this year we took a stand and raised our inbound mail rates. In return, countries around the world retaliated by increasing their inbound rates as well. We are now left with a huge increase worldwide for standard mail services.
This is your last chance to take advantage of current rates -- and we're shaving off an additional 30% for the next 4 days for our loyal International customers.
Keep in mind - COVID-19 is still impacting delivery times.
In fact, many of you might still be waiting for parcels from us from orders placed in March, April, and May. Recently we have been seeing more and more parcels getting delivered in the past few days that have been in-transit over 70 days. If you're waiting for a parcel - please be patient - and understand that this was something completely out of our control. And if you do decide to place a new order, understand that it could be a long time before it shows up in your mailbox. But things are still arriving reliably - just slow. This is going to be the last chance to get the cheapest rates out of the USA forever, so if you don't mind the wait, take advantage now!

It seems the golden era of cheap shipping from Maggards will be over soon.
How do you plan to react to this sad and terrible news? Any impending purchases to catch the cheap shipping window before shipping costs are raised?
