Mailing first class after the first ounce has increased from 17 cents to 20 cents per additional ounce. Sending an envelope of scraps that is over 1/4 " thick takes an extra 44 cent (or 'forever') stamp for the first ounce, also.
Of course, they also delayed the due date for income taxes until the first business day on which the higher rate applied! :roll:

Postage just went up in the UK also. I went to the local Post Office to send a fabric birthday card to my friend and complained about the price. I was told that I should do what the person behind the counter does - send a free e-card on the computer. He then went on to tell me that tthe reason that postage had risen was because less and less people were sending letters etc. Work that one out. :lol:
