Another Postage Increase

Nobody likes to hear about higher prices, but if you haven’t heard, the U.S. Postal Service increased postage rates on April 17th. There is some good news however.

A regular first class stamp will still be 44 cents. First class and standard mail automated rates for letters and flats (the rates most of our mailings receive) are only going up an average of 1.04%. Non-profit automated rates for letters and flats have actually gone down slightly. Yes, you read that correctly!
