Did you see any articles on postage going up to 46 Jan 2. I think we should go out and buy the Forever stamps that are 44 cents. - Nancy

I didn't think that change was approved. I heard they put it on hold??

really? The last time about 3 weeks ago when I was in the post office, a guy was buying a roll of stamps and asked the lady if the postage was going up anytime soon and she said NO! Liar, Liar! lol
I just bought a roll or stamps too, but put a big dent in them with holiday cards/photos.
I heard there will be no increase in the year 2011. The increase was shot down for now.

I just heard on the news tonight that they are not raising the postal rates. They are just going to be pushing the sale of the forever stamp. There will be several designs coming out. But no rate hike in the near future.

They really need to stop delivering mail on Saturdays too. I don't know why they're waiting on that. Don't get me wrong, I like my Saturday mail...but I could live without it!

I agree- Sat mail could be done away with-mostly advertisements etc... but someone told me how many postal workers would be without jobs across the nation if they did away with Sat mail because they use a lot of relief drivers etc... I think that with the price of fuel on the increase-proposed to be 5.00 by the beginning of 2012 -the post offices will have to cut out delievery on Sat or the rates will keep increasing and people will do less mailing.Originally Posted by workin4stamps

Packages are what will be going up in price, not regular letters.

The U.S. Postal Service has proposed a postage stamp price change to take effect on 2 January, 2011. The cost of first-class postage stamps will rise from 44 cents to 46 cents, but first-class Forever postage stamps purchased prior to the increase will be good for mailing one-ounce letters after the rate change takes place.

The U.S. Postal Service Governors have recommended an increase in postage stamp prices. The recommended increase is 2 cents, making the new cost of first-class postage 46 cents. The price of a postcard will also increase 2 cents to a new rate of 30 cents. Prior to the recommended price increase taking effect, it must be approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission.
