Re: cost for standered mail

It's like gas prices. If Americans had to pay what Europeans pay, there would be rioting. You don't know how good you have it, seriously.

They were allowed to raise it last year and promised to leave it standered for three years.

Really? If Europeans had to pay for what is not subsidized by there Gov't there would be rioting. Oh wait they are that is why there is so much unrest over high unemployment and sky rocketing prices on things.

That has not happened here. And we are paying more on groceries etc and will be paying more now that ACA will start to roll in. Seriously.

Postage is a bargain.

I don't think the cost of a stamp is much at all. We still mail all of our bills out. I also send greeting cards. Always will as long as theyre in business.

Also my husband sells some things on ebay (mostly cds and books). Their shipping is less expensive than UPS and the post office is closer than UPS or Fed Ex places in our area!

Postage is not expensive but I would never mail bills anymore.

The cost of a stamp is .49

Postcard stamps are .34

And if your local post office is not delivering packages after three weeks, they would be in trouble. Everything is monitored now with tracking. If a package is tracked to that office, they are responsible for clearing that tracking by either scanning it delivered or attempted, that day. If not, it goes onto a report as a failure. If they have failures, the head honchos would be calling that supervisor. So its a good idea to get tracking on all your parcels.
