I believe I've only mailed a few letters out in my lifetime, and nothing really recent either. I use good old e-mail to get my "mailing services" done. But just be grateful that we're not anywhere close to the $1 mark yet. At the rate stamp prices are going up, I don't foresee that happening in any of our lifetimes.

I usually overprice my letters anyways. I cant exactly keep track of how much letters cost to be sent out so I put two stamps on the cover of the letter anyway...though its not a good money saver....=.=;;; Ive already wasted well over 5$ in my lifetime on stamps...I have too many friends I have to keep track of...

good point, but if you think about it if we had a way to do that with objects the postal service goes bye bye. Like Willy Wonka!

Yeah, there wasn't a grace period. If it doesn't have the $0.39 or more, they'll return the letter, if there's a return address marked, of course.

If you're laxy, you could double up, but $0.78 to mail a standard letter can get steep.

are you sure they still won't honor the .37? i find it hard to believe that they would actually throw away mail that still uses the old stamps...



Actually they won't, they expect you to buy those one and two cent stamps to meet the new price. All the post offices around my work are filled with people trying to buy those. One of the post office sold out.

Ridiculous.



Boy do I feel sorry for you. at my work it's $.75 for a bottle of soda.

But unfortunetly they took the machine out for some reason, . I think it was because the fumigated the place or something or other, I dont know.lol

Actully the .37 cents stamps won't be useless. You will just need to buy a .02 cent to go along with it.

I've been hearing this all over the news for the past few days...it kinda sucks actually. I mean some could look at it and say "It's only two cents." But at the same time, it's the little things that are the killers. I mean think about it...$0.74 if you wanted 2 stamps...I need 2 stamps for each high school transfer I have sent out...and each transfer is 3 bucks...crap adds up.

Starting today, it's $0.39 to mail that card or whatever it is you actually use snail mail for any more, rendering those $0.37 stamps you bought last week USELESS.
