Might be the wrong place for this, but how are all of you shipping larger boxes now that eBay/USPS no longer offer economy shipping?  I can see the smaller boxes still going first class, but it’s now incredibly expensive to ship almost anything else.

I got PMs at the CS desk. Have them run it through the new PM app on their Zebra.

Its counter intuitive but I just discovered that USPS has a service called retail ground that is only available if you go to the post office to ship. It only works in some cases where the package is large and somewhat light but I have had to use it about 3 times in the last month for a $13-$26 ship vs a $45+ shipping with parcel select from Paypal etc.

Do any shipping companies offer this service likes Stamps.com or similar?

Not that I know of, thats why its called “retail” its a step backwards but it helps in a pinch. You can get a quote for it though on USPS.com

Damn you. I've resisted this all day, but I've been wanting that Mera minifig and the new Black Manta.  You had to remind me it was a Target exclusive.

Neat set. Good price. I'm not buying any LM2 sets for investment.

This service used to be offered through eBay, now you can't choose it though. I have had some issues with this. Customers still get the quoted lower price but there is no retail ground option for me. For example a customer paid $22 for shipping of a large set but the cheapest shipping I could choose was $45. Had to go to the PO and ship it from there. I thought it was a glitch at the time but it sounds like eBay simply deleted that method of shipping

This is helpful. Yikes. I really don’t want to wait in line.

Don't know if it's still going as strong as it was when I parted out four during the summer WM clearance, but I pulled $25-$30 each for the Bachelor Batman figs alone, on eBay. Sold the Celestes at $12 each, too. Not much use if you're not looking to part out, but.. the value is (or... was) there. Walked away with lots of BL fodder for a penny or two on the brick.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out come Christmas. I'm ready the seasonal buying to begin.

Target at least has a pretty good  track record of not restocking tons of quantity after they blow stuff out.

Speaking of, with USPS/eBay in their tussle, how are you guys planning to ship bigger stuff without charging customers these new inflated rates?  I read that some are going to the PO to get lower rates but is eBay no longer an option for many of you?  Many of us don’t have amazon so I feel like we’re stuck with eBay.
