Again? It seems this happens yearly or even biannually lately.

Same here, it costs more and they do less. But your postage is much decheaper than ours.

Yup

It's true that our rates are still less expensive than other countries, but this is the second price increase in 6 months.

Another 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!

Postage... 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!

That's why all of my bills are paid online.

CJ Kennedy said...

I hate when that happens

About 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

Yes, postage has gone up in the UK too.
I 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
