USPS price hike
 

Don't forget that mail prices go up tomorrow (May 11).

First-class stamps are now $.44 from $.42.

Up to 1lb Priority Mail is now $4.95.

Do you still get the discount online through clicknship? I know the package when sent at a post office is $4.95 but online was $4.80 plus free D/C.

It seems like the prices just went up a couple months ago.

This is the first I've heard about it. Thanks for the heads up.

I find the ridiculous regular hikes to be less and less a concern. I'm doing more and more shipping through UPS and FedEx, and most of my communication for documents is digital. The only regular mailings I send out are contracts to be physically signed.

The Post office is following newspapers and radio - a dying industry as the needs of the world change at a rapid pace.

I go to the store and buy a Birthday card in Chicago for my friend in Los Angeles. "How much will you charge me to take this card to my friend's house in L.A.", I ask.

"44 cents" is the reply.

Pretty amazing when you think about it in those terms.

Kind of like the people who get mad when their airline flight gets delayed 20 minutes. Do they realize they are getting in tons of steel, and flying through the air at 600 miles per hour? They should be in awe....but instead they are irritated. :r

Re: USPS price hike
 

What's irritating is the rate of change not the amount. http://www.akdart.com/postrate.html

Re: USPS price hike
 

I don't get irritaed at the increase in prices since they are basically set to adjust for inflation... I do get upset that despite the prices increases, USPS is constantly in the red! Down an estimated $2B this year... now that is lame! :mad:
