Default New USPS rates 1/2018

The rate increases are terrible this year.

Has anyone been able to find the updated commercial plus cubic Priority Mail pricing? I can't find it anywhere. I really hope they haven't eliminated those discounts. Shipping a Zone 8 5lb package this morning cost me $10.65 because I had to send it as a Regional Rate A Box. Last week I could have sent the same package as a .2 cubic Zone 8 for $8.74.

Notable changes I've noticed so far:
- Domestic shipping prices have increased across the board
- First Class Int'l Flats service has been discontinued. This has apparently taken eB/PP by surprise, as these were the rates they use and their Int'l shipping service is down this morning
- On postage accounts where First Class Int'l Flats are still an option (which appears to only be high-volume shipping accounts), the label now prints as a domestic label destined for a USPS sorting facility
- Commercial Plus Priority Mail Cubic pricing appears to have either been eliminated or drastically increased

Um, Ok? It's actually called a postal service that's been running in the red for the past 10 years. Good luck buying postage in bulk with crypto.

I have had success printing USPS First Class International packages directly on USPS click n ship website. It no longer works on eBay and Amazon though so I have to pay for the label, copy/paste the reference ID and it's good to go
