Good Morning All!
I hope you had a fantastic weekend. Wedding season is in full swing and if you are mailing out those invitations beware of a postal rate increase.
Postcards $0.29
Letters
| Weight Not Over | Price |
|---|---|
| 1 ounce | $0.44 |
| 2 ounces | $0.64 |
| 3 ounces | $0.84 |
| 3.5 ounces | $1.04 |
*No more than 6-1/8 inches high by 11-1/2 inches long by 1/4 inch thick
The key increases to note are on postcards and 2 ounces. Thankfully 44 cents is still the same but those wedding invitations tend to fall into the 2 ounce zone and you will be paying an extra 3 cents.
This change took effect yesterday so please check that postage so all of your lovely calligraphied envelopes are not returned for insufficient postage… and delayed in getting out.
