EMS Rates Increasing from June
by FG Lurker » Fri Jan 29, 2016 4:20 pm
Got a call from our EMS rep earlier today, rates are going up from June and the lowest weight class (300g) is being eliminated. New prices haven't been announced yet but the increase is expected to be 300yen to 500yen per weight class.
And you run and you run to catch up with the sun but it's sinking
Racing around to come up behind you again
The sun is the same in a relative way, but you're older
Shorter of breath and one day closer to death

Normal, with the price of jet fuel going up...
Ehmmm
Wait....
Soon they will introduce a "don't lose the parcel fee" (french post users will understand the pain...)

I asked our rep "why now" when the price of oil is so low.
Apparently the weak yen has boosted exports and lowered imports (via the postal system). This has resulted in Japan Post having to make compensation payments for the package imbalance to (some?) overseas postal systems. Combine this with the weak yen and it has resulted in the first EMS rate increase in about 20 years.
Could be BS but he's always been straight with us before, and called yesterday morning to let me know that it was going to be announced later in the day.
