Hum Posted November 3, 2005 Share Posted November 3, 2005 WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The cost of mailing a letter in the United States will rise two cents to 39 cents under a rate hike approved by the U.S. Postal Rate Commission on Tuesday. The increase, the first in three years, was not expected to take effect before early next year, the commission said in a statement. The cost of a first-class postage stamp will rise from 37 to 39 cents while the cost of sending a postcard will increase by one penny to 24 cents, the commission said. It will be the first increase in U.S. postage rates since June 2002. The U.S. Postal Service requested a 5.4 percent across-the-board rate increase to meet a $3.1 billion escrow payment due in 2006, the commission said. source Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagamer34 Posted November 4, 2005 Share Posted November 4, 2005 So the price should stay the same because gas pays for itself in America. Man, I wish I could live in your world. No matter what people think, USPS is a for-profit government corporation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
