Well if i understand this right, The post office changed rates yes. 
BUT, the 1st ounce is 41 cents right?  the 2nd and subsequent ounces are 
17 cents.  That comes to lets say for example, 58 cents for 2 oz and 17 
per oz from there on.

Previously it was 39 for the first ounce and 23 for subsequent oz's. 
That came to 62 cents for 2 oz and 23 per oz for each additional one. 
So in reality the rates have gone down.  NO?  Or did i miss something in 
translation here?  Not sure how it affected certain other methods of 
shipment.
