US shipping costs gone up?

Hi all,
As usual, been scouring websites for driver costs, and those costs have stayed reasonably constant, but shipping seems to have gone up dramatically.

Is that right?
Is that being noticed domestically for you all as well?
Or is it only OS shipping??

Cheers,
Grant

I get most of my stuff from the UK or EU, I haven't noticed a jump in shipping charges.
I do notice that some vendors warn about looong delivery delays, and encourage you shell out their "premium" delivery service, aka "couriers". Which is fair enough, I reckon.

I mentioned before, I get good service from usgobuy.com when i need American goods. Particularly when the American vendors are forbidden from selling to other markets.

I wouldn't be surprised if the law of supply and demand is at work here. I wish I'd bought toilet paper stock six months ago.
