    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!!

    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!
