With the Gas price all time high in the USA and an earning warning today from UPS, I am pretty sure it is a good time and good excuse for freighter carrier to increase the shipping charges. I knew UPS and Fedex had a "floating oil charge (it changed probably day by day according to oil price)" a long time ago for international shipping already. 

So the next big one probably would be the USPS which had increased the flat fee too many times in the past 5 years (the cost for mailing a letter inside USA increased from 27 cents to today's 41 cents. For the same kind of service, the value of dollar almost lost 50%.).

So, any idea how it is going to affect our business life if the customer are national-wide or world-wide? Anything we have to do before it happens?
