It appears that the new rates are going to curtail my orders from the US. I'm just far enough away from the border to not have a US postal box like a few people I know have.

I expect this will affect Ebay dealers and small artists/labels whose base is small, but world-wide. Julie Slick for one. Check her Facebook page for the story
