USPS United States Postal Service Price gouging, over priced PO boxes. Albuquerque New Mexico
Two boxes mailed from NM to CA:
First box is a reused regular size Amazon box, weighing 4 lbs., 0.80 oz = $9.56
Second box is easily less than 1/3 the size and weighs 1 lb., 3.60 oz = $9.56

This isn't the first time this has happened and I am sick of your price gouging. It is bad enough having to pay close to one hundred dollars a year for a PO Box smaller than a loaf of bread. When the American people finally wake up and decide it is time for open competition of mail services, you will only have a century of your own mismanagement followed by this type of price gouging to blame.
I intend to write our state Senators and Congress as well because your federally supported monopoly offers a result no better than that of the American people paying to bail out the automakers after their decades of mismanagement and price gouging.
-They should be ashamed.

Actually if you looked at the rate chart for Retail Ground you would see that you should have actually have been charged $13.08 for the box that was 4lb 0.8 oz. Perhaps $12.05 if they still count that as 4 lbs.

So you are right you should go right down there and make them correct their mistake and charge you more for the heavier package.
