Postage Rate Increase Coming

Published by beakerwriter under Uncategorized Edit This

The new postage rates will be here on May 12. The new rates will affect first class, Priority, Parcel, Express and International mail rates. To save a little, stock up on forever stamps now. They’re only going up a cent apiece on the 12th, but in bulk that can mean a lot.

If you have a postage meter, the company will send an update to the meter to the correct rates.  To take a look at the new rates, go to the USPS site and take a look at the individual changes. But like the last change, it’s not as simple as a simple rate increase. The new rates have a lot to do with the weights and sizes of the packages. Some prices will stay the same and in some circumstances they will actually go down slightly. Leave it to the post office to make the new rates as complicated as possible.
