[Archived]Upcoming Aramex rate changes,

Thanks Flossie.
Might be time to switch all my shipping to Pass the Parcel courier, which looks to be considerably cheaper - until they also put their prices up.
I think the day will come when it’s just not economically viable to purchase items anymore due to prohibitive shipping rates.
People are so used to paying low, subsidised shipping from large online retailers (who are able to negotiate cheaper rates or subsidise shipping) that they balk at the thought of paying anything higher. Unless they book and pay for couriers themselves, they don’t understand the true cost of shipping items.

Andrea, I wondered this too. So many businesses are looking short term and not long term and ultimately they will inevitably hurt themselves in the long run but for some head scratching reason they don't seem to understand this. People will stop sending either on principal or just because it's too expensive - then what are they going to do? Raise it even higher to try and regain their losses? When does it end and when does it stop? It's like shrinking food items, at what point do you realize that people will stop buying? Companies are not doing themselves any favours.

Not sure why medium bag is quoting at $9.12, $7.16 small bag this differs to the above prices. Any ideas?

I did this earlier today, nothing matches up, like everyone else we are getting higher rates on the quotes,
