Raising the price of a stamp from 0.33 to 0.34?

[gittyup]

Didn't they just increase the price of a stamp not too long ago. What is with the US postal
service? I know it's only a 0.01 cent increase, but I am glad I pay some of my bills online.

They also decreased the second ounce again, so for two ounces it has not changed. They did the same thing with 33 cent increase. Mail service in the U.S. is so incredible compared to some of my relatives' service (they live in India, U.A.E) etc, that I can't complain about the prices.

its more expensive than a phone call, that'll put a cramp on people using the postal service for a ride home. . . but its not too bad a service for less than a buck, a picture and card and a dried flower in the card can say alot more than a 3hr international phone call. . . too bad my bro didn't figure that out till he blew nearly a grand on the phone with a girl in a relationship that bombed out

Actually I think it becomes effective Sunday, 7 Jan 2001.

Effective on a Sunday is effectively Monday since you can't get a postmark on Sunday. Cuts down on confusion I suppose.
