New Postage Rates
I justed wanted to give folks a heads up that First Class postage for a 1 ounce letter will go up 1 penny on May 12th. If you own forever stamps, you won't be affected by the price increase. I don't know how much of a grace period the Post Office will give on the new rate. I do know that after a certain period, they will kick the letter back for 1 lousy penny. So, you can either buy some forever stamps now so you don't have to buy a bunch of 1 cent stamps or mark your calendars and be ready to add a 1 cent stamp on your letters. The increase is due to the cost of inflation. New rates for Express Mail, Priority Mail, and International Mail will be announced in March.
