Ugh.... again?

 

[heat123]

No kidding, it seems lately each year we get an increase!

If you read the article it sounds like the price will be adjusted with inflation each May.

I'm sorry but what a crock! I better stock up on some forever stamps while I can - I wish they had the forever stamps for postcard stamps!

 

[jrstephens]

I just heard this on the radio!

 

[janetupnorth]

Yes, ask to buy forever stamps so you don't deal with the change.

 

[etteluap70PC]

Yes they definetly need to do it for post card stamps as well!!!!

 

[vwpamperedchef]

[lkprescott]

[mpkegley]

I saw this on the news tonight. I can't believe it! Didn't they just increase not too long ago?

Forever stamps are good forever, even when there's a postage increase. You don't have to worry about having 1 or 2 cent stamps around to make up the difference. And you can also stock up at the lower postage rate, with plans to use them after the increase.

The post master down the road from work said he was going to take the week off before the next increase because he didn't want to deal with all the people trying to buy the forever stamps. The year we got married, we actually send our invites out two weeks before "etiquette" to save some money because of a price increase.

Just buy them online:

And they wonder why people pay more bills online and don't send as many cards.I get that sometimes costs increase, but if they would stop sending me MAIL telling me that the post office exists, that would be great! Save money...stop advertising something that I know.
