On June 23rd of this year, USPS started charging dimensional weight. UPS became comparatively cheaper as a result, so we started using them more. Our shipping spend with $UPS has increased by 20%, year over year.https://esellercafe.com/are-you-ready-usps-dimensional-rate-changes-coming-june-23/ …

I wonder if this is because of Poshmark, which encouraged people to just use those flat rate boxes for used clothes
Hard to say! We ship a lot of big bulky, but light items. USPS charged us $17.68 to ship this item before the change took place. Today, USPS would charge us $41.06, more than double! That's pretty strong evidence of mis-pricing. Large boxes take up a lot of space in a truck!pic.twitter.com/WbyiA2SE03

Totally not my area of expertise at all. Last Christmas though I felt like I was just getting ripped off on shipping costs, some gifts cost more to ship than to buy

Yeahhhhh I hear you. Retail (as opposed to the negotiated rates we get) postage rates are expensive. Best option is just buy on amazon and ship direct to their address with gift wrapping?
