FYI - the United State Postal Service (USPS) will increase rates on all classes of mail except periodicals on Monday May 14, 2007.

For most of us, that means that the cost of a stamp for a 1 ounce piece of first class mail will cost 2 cents more. The current rate is 39 cents and the new rate will be 41 cents.

To avoid lines at the post office you may want to buy your 41 cent stamps now. You can also get 2 cent stamps to add to any of your leftover .39’s.
