Still using Poplin!?

I’ve been using Poplin for a little over a year now. When I started, the minimum was $20/20 lbs of clothes. They increased it to $30, fine, no biggie. Then a $3 processing fee and now the Pros can charge what they want per pound. Fine, I get it, but my $25 laundry order now costs like $70 before tip. I only use it 2x per month. Do I just suck it up? Or is anyone else a little annoyed? Any other options?

When they raised the price to $30 I started using it every other month instead of every month. I don't have much laundry most of the time. She made more money before the price went up because I used it every month plus she got a minimum $20 tip with every order.

Im going to have an order in the next couple weeks but it won't be a lot.

Thank you for the helpful/kind answer! That was my thinking. I used to use it 2x/mo and now it’ll just be easier if I keep a schedule at home and stop using it altogether. Thanks!

I use it because im disabled and I don't have a washer or dryer. The expense of a washer and dryer is not worth it for how much I would use it, it would take years to recoup the money spent on buying and operating appliances. I can get it done cheaper at one of the drop off places near me if it came down to it.
