Prepaid Forever Priority Mail from USPS

You just know there's a postal rate increase coming.

Saw this today and thought all you crazy bombing fools might want to take advantage.

Includes a DC # with every box.

EDIT: Looks like you have to register for a Stamps.com account

Is there an app where the labels are pre-addressed to me? :r

I know you can order pre-addressed FedEx labels if you are so inclined.

Inclined? Bent or warped, more like it. ;)

Re: Prepaid Forever Priority Mail from USPS

I wonder if the "forever" postage would survive a USPS bankrupcy? Or if a bankrupcy filing would make them null and void? Bankrupcy gets rid of many obligations! And, I don't have a lot of faith that the USPS isn't close to such a filing in the next year or so.

If the Post Office is, as you say, close to filing bankruptcy, why would Fed Ex or UPS want to take over a dying business? Neither company wants to deal with universal service. They are only interested in delivering to major metropolitan areas. :confused:
