there will be a 1-cent increase for First-Class Mail letters starting Monday May 12, 2008, so for all those who still have 41 cents stamps remember to buy your penny stamps.

hello howard

thanks for that reminder about the US postage stamps going up a penny on May 12. that is next Monday. i swear, why didn't the post office go ahead and make the postage stamps fifty cents. we all know that in a few more years from now that the post office is going to raise their rates again on postage, so go ahead and do it while you are at it, instead of making penny changes here and there. i guess that the post office needed that extra penny on all of those postage stamps to help pay for the gas increase. lol

have a beautiful day today!


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

I agree, raise it a certain amount and stop all this penny nonsense! I went and tried to buy the "Forever Stamps" and they told me they were all out of them, what bull crap is that, they forced me to buy the penny stamps.


myLot reputation of 95/100. RLFinNash (5388)  2 months ago

thanks.

wow! thanks for this information! It is very helpful indeed. I just hear it first from you howard! Have a great time!


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

Your welcome, we don't want to mail out those bills with the wrong postage to only have them sent back to us, what a problem that would be. shocked

Unless you have the 'Forever' stamp, then you won't need the penny stamp..Good reminder, thank you...Lori


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

Two months in a row I tried buying the "Forever Stamps" and they claim to have run out - yea right! Now you'll see they will have them after the 12th.

Thanks Howard. I am one of those people that forgets the penny increase and gets my mail send back to me. It is very problematic to have to go to the post office for penny stamps so what I usually do is put two stamps on my mail which is cheaper than driving to the post office. Gasoline here is almost $4.00 a gallon!
Have a great day.


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

Hi Naty, I understand about making that trip and wasting the gas. I looked online at the USPS website to order some stamps and they charge for delivery! I refuse to pay a delivery charge to mail me stamps when they have to deliver mail to me anyway - that is their job.

-grumbling- I remember when they were 30 cents a stamp. Glad I don't need stamps like I used to. ahhhhhhhhhh...the power of internet bill pay. Soooo much more easier and heck of alot cheaper. hmmmmmm I should pick up a couple books of the forever stamps at the current price.


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

I hope your post office has them because mine pretends they are always out of them. Now they will conveniently get them after the 12th, I just know it. What losers they are.


myLot reputation of 98/100. blackbriar (4945)  3 months ago

If they are out then I'll just head to the store. lol They always seem to have plenty of the forever ones.

I didn't even know about this. Thank you for starting a discussion about the price of stamps going up. 42 cent wow. Before we know it it will be 50 cent a stamp.


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

Isn't this crazy, another increase. I wish they would raise it 5 cents and leave us alone for a few years.


myLot reputation of 95/100. Shaun72 (10903)  3 months ago

I agree that way it wouild be done and over for awhile.

Thanks! I just bought a new book of stamps and didn't know that!


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

I am sure they didn't tell you either - right? Your ok if they are the "Forever Stamps" otherwise you'll need to get penny stamps or double up a 41 cent stamp.

This increase is so soon after the last one. I do pay most of my bills online now. Its terrible to see it go up again when everything else has gone up.


myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

Everything is going up - everything but our salaries!

 
10. myLot reputation of 98/100. kebpete (6935)   3 months ago

myLot reputation of 95/100. howard96h (4297)  3 months ago

Your right about that, everything is getting out of control.
