New Postal Prices Coming May 12, 2008

On May 12th the U.S. Postal Service will adjust prices for mailing services - First-Class Mail, Standard Mail, Periodicals, Package Services, and Special Services. The average increase by class of mail is at or below the rate of inflation as measured by the Consumer Price Index.

A First-Class Mail stamp will be 42¢. Customers can continue to use the Forever Stamps they purchased for 41¢, even after the price change. The U.S. Postal Service has 5 billion Forever Stamps in stock to meet increased demand before the price change. Forever Stamps are widely available through Post Offices, Contract Postal Units, consignment locations, Automated Postage Centers, vending, and online at www.usps.com.

Pricing highlights:

• · No change in the First-Class Mail single-piece additional-ounce price.
• · Lower additional-ounce price for presorted First-Class Mail letters.
• · Lower pound price for Standard Mail saturation and high-density flats.
• · Shape-based pricing for First-Class Mail International letters, flats, and parcels.
• · First-Class Mail International price groups expand from five to nine groups.
