USPS - Postage Rate increase - 1/22/12

Get ready... Postage is going up $.01.

It's not a big deal, unless you remember it being $.25 to mail a letter when you were a kid. Today it is $.44 and starting January 22, 2012 it will be $.45

I like my mail carrier and we have other choices, we can call or email for completely free these days, so I dont mind supporting the USPS with a few penny increase every now and then.

I feel the same way about the library and overdue books. These are both causes worth supporting. And if you don't want to, then you dont have to. Unlike taxes that continue to raise, no one is holding a gun to our heads and threatening prison if we don't pay up.
  • Postcards: 3¢ increase to 32¢
  • Letters to Canada or Mexico (1 oz.): 5¢ increase to 85¢
  • Letters to other international destinations: 7¢ increase to $1.05
