As a long-time MAIL ART / POSTAL ART guy, I'm seriously feeling this one. When I started, I could send a package to Japan or Africa for a couple bux (USD.) The last time I sent a parcel to Japan is was 8 goddam dollars! I still love trading physical art, but only rich folks can afford the postage costs anymore!!!
yeah it's crazy these days. From uk me shipping an A3 pint in a tube is like $35.
