Has anyone else noticed that the cost of ground shipping has increased?

it looks like 47" is the magic number since there is a $10 difference when i run the shipping estimate with a 48" box versus a 47" box. jason is on the money when he mentions that the weight of the package seems to make no difference.

in hindsight, this makes a lot of sense. last year, i was able to ship back a parlor in a smaller box for $7 to OH, and more recently (before the latest price increase) i shipped a parlor to NJ in a bigger box and it costed me $21.
