I don’t understand why the mail is so slow. Cards/letters are taking 10-12 days, although for some reason, packages are moving fairly quickly.

I would prefer the gradual increases over a big hit all at once.

Just FYI, it's not just forever stamps that are going up. EVERYTHING is going up. I have a list at work but I'm sure you can search it online. Shipping rates and postcard stamps and everything in between are going up.

You still have a week to stock up on forever stamps! i'm still using mine that I bought in 2007.

Sigh. It was bound to happen, with diesel being $6 a gallon.

I have videos on my sell list at VF Roost - I'll probably end up taking half of them off to donate to the library.

In my experience, there's little price difference between Media Mail and First Class if you're mailing only one DVD. The more DVDs you send, the more MM makes sense. (I've been using PayPal/ShipStation to send my packages for years now.)

These data are from last year, but U.S. postage is still a bargain compared to other countries.

It should be a bargain considering it takes longer now than ever to get mail to its destination.
