New USPS Postage Rate Hike USPS is announcing another rate hike...yup. To send one ounce mail, it now costs 44 cents, a two cents increase from 42 cents. Prices go into effect May 11. Other changes taking effect May 11: _ The postcard stamp increases 1-cent to 28 cents. _ The first ounce of a large envelope increases 5 cents to 88 cents. _ The first ounce of a parcel increases 5 cents to $1.22. _ New international postcard and letter prices are, for one ounce, 75 cents to Canada; 79 cents to Mexico; and 98 cents elsewhere. BTW, PICK UP THOSE FOREVER STAMP BOOKS WHILE YOU CAN!! http://www.google.com/hostednews/ap/article/ALeqM5hBvLwHazyfGd4kEVGVfIsZhFDg2gD968UCD84
So in otherwords: go buy a bunch of forever stamps now since even though you buy them at 42 cents they will still work after the postage hike.
I don't use American Express so it was somebody else's card you nabbed! Oh wait I just read an article about some 350 pound weightlifter who had a card of that kind that was nabbed by some geeky looking guy!
:ducks: It's all shiny and pretty ...and I love that VISA logo too and that 5k credit line is so much fun
