Re: The price of a postage stamp goes up again
I was thinking about that this morning, looking at a $.41 stamp I realized it had been a while and would prob happen again soon.

I thought the same thing. They are really pushing us to do everything online.

The never ending cycle...they raise the price, we do more online, they raise the price again to make up for it and so on.

Re: The price of a postage stamp goes up again
It's going up to 42. cents in May and the last time it went up was May of last year...
So is this going to be a trend.

Re: The price of a postage stamp goes up again
Geeze! Postage just went up last summer..How do I know? It happened right before I mailed out my wedding invites and I couldn't get "wedding" or "love" stamps for them, as they hadn't released the new ones yet.
Oh well... at least I don't foresee a need for theme stamps in the near future!

Yes.. A new law was passed & the price is going to be assesed every spring. They only have to give 45 days notice for an increase, but they say they will give 90, and the increase has to be within the cost of inflation.
You can buy forever stamps now though & use them after May.
My only issue with this is that last time it took us over 3 months to get our office postage system updated--I'm not ready to go through that all over again!
