USPS announced an 8% increase through January 17th, 2027 so you’ll see an increase in overall shipping costs for brands and those using the [r/RedditLaqueristaSwap](r/RedditLaqueristaSwap) page. 8% isn’t that much of an increase when shipping is typically $7 to ship one or two polishes (about $1 extra) but I’m interested to see if the % snowballs with increased ground shipping distances.
Anyways, just thought I’d share in case anyone is planning a destash soon.

Well fuck
Temporary for now 😒
This will probably trickle over to brand’s shipping getting more expensive as well. Some might even increase their free shipping thresholds (again). Honestly it’s helping me not just snag 1-2 polishes once or twice a month and instead waiting for sales. Least it helps me trick myself into believing I’m on a ‘low buy’.
first it was tariffs, now its a “temporary fuel surcharge.” but hey, at least eggs are (checks notes) a little less expensive than they were in 2024!
Thanks, Obama.
