Wow, I haven't heard of increased services, decreased prices.  Bravo to the USPS.  This must be a first.

Pretty soon I'm going to drive my things there myself.

Actually, I guess I understand. Lately, we just send screen shots everywhere. Who needs the post?

I prefer UPS for packages - so much faster and better tracking.  Especially with returns/using return label.  From anywhere.

This doesn't make a lot of sense to me.  Post office has been saying for many years they aren't making money.

Now supposedly, they are saving the consumer money and will pick up the package from your home or office.

Guess they are doing rather well.

Our local news said the price of first class stamps will go up to 66 cents on July 9.

The cost to mail a letter, greeting card or bill payment in 2023 is going up – again.  

Less than three months after raising the cost of a Forever stamp to 63 cents, the U.S. Postal Service announced this month that it plans to raise the price of the stamp to 66 cents July 9, 2023.

The 5.4 percent increase, approved by the Governors of the U.S. Postal Service, must be approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission. The proposed increase is necessary to offset the rise in inflation, USPS said in a news release.
