Always Check Postal Rates

This is July and the rates have already gone up.

I shipped a box which contained a lot of paper and was quite heavy. I was surprised to see the flat rate fee which is good to ship anywhere in the country. Actually, it's good because they give you the box free, and they have four different size boxes, and they will take up to 70 pounds.

My post office even tapes the box together and gives me an address sticker. I can't ask any more than that.

If you go ahead now and buy the forever stamps @ 41 cents that will save 20 cent a book, but it is the forever stamp the more you buy now the less you pay later. Forever stamps will remain whatever the current postage is.

Don't forget about the Forever stamps that came out last year. You can purchase them now for $.41 and no matter what the rates go to, you can still use the stamps (they don't have a value marked on them).

Thanks for the info. I was just wondering what the exact date of the next increase is. I have to mark my calendar.
