Is everyone aware that the price of stamps will go up this month? First-class stamps will be 46 cents as of January 22. Get forever stamps now at the 2012 rate while you still can.

Thanks for the heads up... Although I rarely use stamps anymore, occasionally I will. And since the forever stamps last forever, it's probably best to just get a book of those for those rare occasions when I do need stamps. I love how the cost of stamps is going up, and the IRS won't process taxes till after 1/30th... Coincidence?
-
I always use the forever stamps ... heck I didn't even know what postage was up to until I read your post.
-
Postal Rates Yes, I have heard that the Stamps are going up but, I didn't know they were going up this Month. :sad1:
-
Didn't they just raise it not that long ago. Guess i'll buy a few books aat the old rate. I know there was talk about no saturday mail would maybe be ok with that .
-
I bought a whole roll. It is getting costly to buy them.

it seems like every year the rate always go up. i decided to just pay all my bills through auto pay to save stamps.

That is great I just printed stamps. That means that I have try and use them all before next week. I don't think that they should be going up again. this is happening everytime you turn around. I don't use a lot but I do use some, I know that businesses still mail things also. I think they need to do something else because it is going up everytime you turn around.
-
The rate changes so much that I usually do not know what it is.
I just buy a book of forever stamps (which I believe is the majority of what people buy).
-
just heard that today. may have to seek other ways to paying my bills.
-
I keep meaning to but I forgot need to to get them asap. They will be going up on the 27th. Just checked the website.
-
I think postal stamps are the greatest investment ever! The rate will never go down, only up and the forever stamps are bought at the current rate. Better get me a bigger storage space!
-
i always get the forever stamp because it always seems like the price is going up.
-
No but it figures another reason to pay everything online and not have to use a stamp!
-
I can't believe how much we are paying for stamps now.
-
I really don't use that many stamps, so thankfully it doesn't affect me much!
I'm probably saving loads by sending emails and paying bills online instead. Gotta love the Internet!
-
Yea that is a bit high but like everything else things keep going up. Which is why it is so hard to save money. :sad1:
-
the last time i bought 100 forever stamps they were 40 cents a piece. i still have almost 50 left. just dont mail too much anymore :thumbsup:
-
I plan to buy another book of Forever stamps. I have 6 left because I mail approximately 3 to 4 letters a month and my husband mails a letter a week. They are supposed to go up this month anyway so it is something that happens every year. :) ;D
-
I'm losing track with all the rate increases. I had to pause for a second how much stamps are nowadays as I do so many things electronic now and when there is something to ship I usually get this metered. Forever stamps are still in my supply, so I should be fine for the most part.
-
Went to the Post office the other day and was given a sheet of the new rate increases taking place on Jan. 27, looks like the Priority Stuff mail is going up approx 30-60 cents each.
-
They seem to go up all the time
-
I wouldn't mind the increases so much, except that it seems like their service is getting worse and worse! If they raise the price they should at least give us better services. From what I've read, even their guaranteed services aren't guaranteed!

It seems every year the USPS has a postage rate increase. Almost every postage stamp they issue anymore are 1st class forever stamps. The Forever Stamps is the best move that the USPS has made in years. The Forever Stamps are good for the USPS as well as it's customers. I still have several bills that go out by mail so I am affected but I am fortunate that I don't have that many. I can normally make a book of forever stamps last 2 months. :thumbsup: :peace: :heart: :wave:
-
I didn't know, just found out today. Too late for me to get the forever stamps at a discount.
-
I better go out and get some today. I still have things that i mail out so i guess i will buy a couple books
-
That's alot for stamps :(
-
Everything seems to go up except salaries.
-
I love the Forever stamp.
-
Gee, an extra penny to send a letter. The nerve of the government.
-
Got six books of forever stamps today. I don't use stamps a lot so this should last a good while.
