United States Postal Service has announced another postage increase to take place on January 21, 2024.
First class postage will now be 68 cents (two cent increase)
Postcards will now cost 53 cents.
International postcards and letters will cost $1.55 per ounce
The last postage increase was in July 2023.
Again? It seems this happens yearly or even biannually lately.
ReplyDeleteYup
DeleteSame here, it costs more and they do less. But your postage is much decheaper than ours.
ReplyDeleteIt's true that our rates are still less expensive than other countries, but this is the second price increase in 6 months.
DeleteHmmm, I'm wonderfing what decheaper is? I'm mking up words. But I was sure I commented on FB, not here. Never mind, hugs, Valerie
DeleteAnother advantage to paying bills online. I remember back in the days when I didn't live in Memphis and had small children, and I would write updates to Mother every day. Yikes! At these postal prices that'd be expensive!
ReplyDeleteYup, I'm glad I pay most of my bills online.
DeleteI wonder who's pocket all this $$$ is going into.......?
ReplyDeletePostmaster General 😉
DeletePostage... I bought something for €5, it was NOT heavy, not bulky. Postage to USA €20. Hello??? Result: won´t do that again. If every body did...hmmm, think again German Post!
ReplyDeleteI hate when that happens
DeleteThat's why all of my bills are paid online.
ReplyDeleteAbout the only bill I don't pay online is the oil delivery. I could set up online bill pay, but by the time the bank cut his check I would lose the discount. Every penny helps
DeleteYes, postage has gone up in the UK too.
ReplyDeleteI don't think there is anything where the price has gone down ... is there?
All the best Jan

The adage what goes up must come down sadly, doesn't apply to cost of living
