The cost of mailing a letter will go up on May 14, but you'll be able to lock in that price — no matter how rates rise in the future — by buying the new "forever" stamp.

The Postal Service's governing board agreed Monday to accept the new 41-cent rate for first class mail.
The Priority Mail flat-rate box was set at $9.15 by the commission. The Postal Service had recommended $8.80; it's presently $8.10.

But on a plus side they do have some great looking new mail boxs to put your letters in!

Waiting for Napolean54 to implode. :hihi:

$1 increase is a bit steep on the Priority Mail stuff, though...

Oh, how cute. Glad to see they're nickel-and-diming the nation so they can afford ridiculous-looking drop boxes. I wonder if George Lucas has been lobbying the postal service.

Yeah, that's steep.
