The cost of a first-class postage stamp is now 49 cents — 3 cents more than before. Regulators approved the price hike in December, and it went into effect Sunday. Many people won't feel the increase right away: Forever stamps are good for first-class postage at whatever the future rate. The last increase for stamps was a year ago, when the cost of sending a letter rose by a penny to 46 cents. The Postal Service lost $5 billion last year and has been trying to get Congress to let it end Saturday delivery and reduce payments on retiree health benefits. Copyright 2013 The Associated Press.

Then consider that by constitutional law the post office is required to deliver that letter anywhere and everywhere in the US mainland, Alaska and Hawaii........ for 50 cents. There are places where UPS, Fedex and others won't deliver at all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
