In case you didn't see Finnbadger's comment on the 2023 Love Stamp post, here it is:

The next price increase is January 22nd (first class 1oz letter will be 63c), so buy these on the 19th through 21st to pay 60c per stamp.
Thanks for the head's up, Finn.
lovely!
ReplyDeleteStill, it's cheaper than a gallon of gas
DeleteAnd if you tend to buy stamps from the USPS online shop, not that it may be unavailable from 11pm on the 21st as they implement all the changes.
ReplyDeleteInternational rate is increasing to $1.45, and postcards go up to 48c.
Thanks, Finn, you're a gem
DeleteAnd that's 11pm eastern, for those who may be in other time zones
DeleteAnother postage increase? Before you know it sending a letter will cost over a $1.00. Then the post office will be in real trouble.
ReplyDeleteThe post office was set up to provide a service and not to be an income generating business. Even if the cost of postage rises to $1, it's still cheaper to mail stuff in the US than other countries.
DeleteU nas też są podwyżki.
ReplyDeleteIt seems everything is going up
DeleteIt's true. As much as I mumble and complain we still have cheaper rates than other countries! (and gas too!)
ReplyDeleteYes, we do. For postage, we get a pretty good bang for our buck
DeleteCute stamps! And yes, they rise the price here, too, too often... weird, as there is e-mail etc...
ReplyDeleteYes, but email doesn't have the same excitement as getting a card or a letter in the mail
DeleteDefinitely Didn't Know This - Thanx CJ
ReplyDeleteCheers
Thanks to Finnbadger
DeleteHere the rates have gone up, too, once again! Valeriee
ReplyDeleteDeep sigh.
DeleteThose are soooo cute. The price of stamps today, not so much:(
ReplyDeleteCute comes at a cost. Deep sigh
DeleteThanks to Finnbadger for the heads up on the international postage. Glad I have a bunch of forever international stamps I got before the LAST rate hike.
ReplyDeleteSmart thing to do
DeletePrices are gonna rise, I guess. I don't use the USPS like I used to, not even Christmas cards. I do mail packages now that The Daughter has moved so far away...
ReplyDeleteEverything's going up. I suppose the postal service had to jump on the bandwagon, too
DeleteI didn't hear first class postage was going up again. Thanks for the head's up!
ReplyDeleteI didn't either until Finnbadger pointed it out. Thanks to him
DeleteHow adorable is that, I love those postage stamps ☺️. Happy wishes! Hugs Jo x
ReplyDeleteThe new love stamps are very cute
