Mailing A Letter Will Cost You More
February 11, 2009
The price of a first class stamp is heading up, again. Beginning in May, a first class letter will cost you an extra two cents to mail.
The United States Postal Service announced the price increase to 44-cents effective on May 11.
There is still plenty of time to stock up on Forever Stamps. They will cost you 42-cents prior to May 11 and and will remain valid regardless of any rate increases.
Postal rates go up every May, with the price increase announced in February.
The new 44-cent rate for the first ounce of first class mail will be the only first class letter increase. Each additional ounce of mail will remain at 17-cents.

i’m no fan of the increase in the cost of stamps but i just had to say that the ladies that work at the post office in Flomaton are very nice. I don’t know them personally but every time i go in there for something, they’re the most polite, friendly and helpful people. i also have had positive experiences at the post office in Century when applying for passports. Very friendly people there also.
The folks at the Molino post office treat me like family but , let’s dump them so we can let private enterprise rule. Maybe like in Detroit where private enterprise aided by the UAW pays 75.00 bucs an hour to a guy gluing a rear view mirror to a windshield. Sorry Robert, I’ll pay the extra 2 cents and keep my postal workers.
All the more reason to turn the post office over to private enterprise. If our government wants to streamline they could get out of the postal service,put that in the private sector and it would be handled for pennies on the dollar. The reason the postal service is in such bad shape is because UPS&FEDEX has beat them at their own game,and they do it with a smile on their face. How long has it been since you have been treated with any respect by a person with a smile on their face in a U.S Post Office.
