Today’s Postage Rate Increase
Cidu Bill on May 12th 2008
…or as most of you are probably thinking right now, “today’s what???”
I can’t remember — and I’m old enough to recall the 4-cent stamp replacing the 3-cent stamp — an increase in the first-class mail rate receiving this little publicity. Could it be that first-class mail is simply irrelevant now?
(When my son went off to college last September, I offered to buy him a bunch of envelopes and stamps. He said “That’ll be helpful if I ever want to contact somebody really, really slowly”)
Still, I foresee credit card companies reaping huge late fees, as people’s payments get returned to them for insufficient postage and have to be re-mailed.
