Stamp price increases!

Ang malas ko naman! I had just gotten back into the groove of snail mail again, when USPS announces price increases, effective May 12, 2008. Forever Stamps can still be used even after the price change. Five billion of them are ready to meet the increased demand before the price change.

According to the website:


First-Class Mail letter (1 oz.)
$0.42
First-Class Mail letter (2 oz.)
$0.59
Postcard
$0.27
First-Class Mail large envelope (2 oz.)
$1.00
Certified Mail
$2.70
First-Class Mail International to Canada and Mexico (1 oz.)
$0.72
First-Class Mail International to all other countries (1 oz.)
$0.94


Argh. And I was going to resume writing to my international buddies once again. Pretty soon, each piece of mail will cost a dollar. This is why I love me the internets.

It is a shame that those of us with friends all over the world have to continue to watch the price of communicating rise. I have much family still back in Cebu that do not have Internet access to no choice but to spend the money.

Glad to see more Filipino's online!!
