| So I tried to print out a first class international label today. According to
my charts, pulled from the USPS website, the UK is in zone 5, and so a small
package should be $14.49 (commercial rate). Paypal had it as $15.44. So I cancelled
the label, and contacted Paypal to say their zone chart was wrong. They responded
that the rates are set by the USPS, not Paypal. So I tried to print out a label
through the USPS (a pain since I have to copy all the information for the buyer
address). Lo and behold, the rate they were charging me was the retail amount
for zone 9, or $16.25! So even though their chart says the UK is in zone 5,
why did it come out as zone 9??? No, I haven't contacted USPS, since I am
sure it will be a while until I get an answer from them. Just wondered if anyone
else came across this?

Yes, I noticed the UK switched zones (and to the $15.44 rate) earlier this year.
I found a chart somewhere that said they were now in Price Group 20 which looks
to be made up just for them.

Thanks, Jen! Good to know I am not crazy! (well, at least not in this instance)
