New Postage Rates With a Video Making It Questionable
New postage rates as of today.
The United States Postal Service is at it again with new postage rates in effect for today. I’ll give you one guess at the answer to this question: Do you think the new postage rates are higher or lower than the old? Right! (I won’t insult your intelligence with an answer…)
But hey, the price of everything is going up so it only stands to reason that the new stamp prices are higher than they were. A first class stamp has jumped a penny from 41 cents to 42 cents, a 2.5% increase!
In general, I like to think that if I pay more for something, I get better value; ya know, more for my money, better service, or whatever applies.
Now, speaking from my own experience with the USPS, I can’t complain too much… they’re pretty good and pretty reliable on average. Then again, there are those exceptions. Take what happens in this funny video clip. It’s a news story showing a USPS mail carrier in North Carolina making a delivery of a package containing a precious, fragile family heirloom.
Well, it used to be family heirloom; after this guy is done delivering it, it’s a rubble heap!
So, yeah: You sometimes get this kind of service yet we now have to pay more for it! Hah! And by the way: Get yourself some Forever stamps to lock in the current postage price forever and laugh at any future new postage rates.
