Usps Possibly Raising First Class Stamps to .49

In summary, the USPS is considering raising first class stamp prices to .49 as a way to generate more revenue and cover operational costs due to financial challenges. The final decision has not yet been made, but if approved, the new prices could go into effect as early as January 2022. The proposed increase is 6%, but subject to change. This potential increase will also affect other types of mail, such as postcards and international mail, but the USPS is considering other changes to pricing for these as well. While this increase could have a negative impact on small businesses and individuals who rely on mailing services, the USPS is also considering other changes to lessen the impact.

USPS possibly raising first class stamps to .49.....that is going to cut into the commission check big time. May have to look back into the idea of using the postcard invitations again
 
Not excited about the increase. But, I won't complain. It will still be cheaper to mail things than to drive around hand delivering them.
 
I completely understand your concern about the possible increase in first class stamp prices. It can definitely have an impact on our expenses, especially for those of us who rely on mailing out invitations or other materials for our business. Have you considered other options, such as using email or social media to send out invitations? It might be worth exploring to see if it can save on costs. But either way, it's always good to have a backup plan, so revisiting the idea of postcard invitations might be a smart move. Let's hope the stamp prices don't increase too much!
