If you've been to the post office to buy stamps, hopefully that's what they've been telling you. {up} At first they only had 96 cent stamps but I'd have to add 2 cents, but they are now selling the 98 cent and $1.65 for international stamps.

Once Again, Prices are just too high to mail a small envelope. Not now but wait. If the economy keeps going where it is- who knows how much it'll be :roll:
....I don't think you understand just how big of a steal the USPS Stamp(s) is for the people in the US (as a US citizen myself...); $.44 is practically nothing to what a lot of the other people have to pay in the world (including Britain and a lot of European nations too). The stamp price going up $.02 is nothing...if it goes up past $.50/$.60-ish, then I'd be concerned. Think of the gas prices: $2-ish. Your stamp doesn't even cover a fourth of a gallon of gas for the truck that has to either come from your house (if you do that) or deliver it...! Not to mention if you're sending to NY/LA/etc.!

So again, I agree with whoever said it above: Raise the stamp to $.50, and keep off the increases for a few years, and potentially just cap it off at that.

It goes up every year, so I'm pretty used to it by now. They wouldn't raise the price just due to the olympic logo. It's just their annual price hike. {up}

Seeing the posts, I feel REALLY lucky.

P.s. I do agree on the 50 cent deal. It sure would make life a WHOLE lot easier

I hadn't heard anything about the minor stamp price increase until I read this and did a little research. All I know is that this will increase my first class stamp expense ~$40... + probably a $50 other postage expense... <$100 = not that major, although that is 100 bucks that can't go to another cause.

*I was one of the nuts who figured it be better to stock up on 'forevers' a while ago and am down to ~1,200- so I guess we'll see how long these last.
