FacebookThis is just a friendly reminder that stamp prices are increasing on Monday, May 11th. As long as you get your stuff postmarked by tomorrow (May 9th), you should be fine. But… Don’t drop stuff in the box after the last Saturday pickup and expect it to go out as expected on Monday.
In case you missed it the first time, postage on first class letters will be increasing from $0.42 to $0.44, and prices for other services will also be adjusted upward. Of course, if you have forever stamps, you don’t really have to worry (at least not for regular letters). If not, you’ll need to pick up some $0.02 stamps.

Man, I really hate postage increases. They seriously need to limit increases to once every few years. I still have some 39 cent stamps that I haven’t gone through yet because I hate having to keep buying a bunch of 2 cent stamps!
Comment by Jeremy — May 8th 2009 @ 9:05 pmI am retired & live on a fixed income , it is becoming increasingly harder to to live ! It is not just postage increasing – it is Groceries , Taxes , Medical Etc ., our retirement stays the same & everything else keeps going up !
Comment by Connie Meeks — May 9th 2009 @ 9:23 pmahhh! I hate it. My husband accidently mailed about 20 bills yesterday with 42 cent stamps on them because he forgot about the increase. Great, get ready late fees!
