If you still prefer regular mail instead of email, you’re in luck. The price of mailing is going down starting April 10.
The price of a first-class stamp will lower by two cents, costing 47 cents. Letters to all international destinations will go from $1.20 to $1.15, and postcards will decrease from 35 cents to 34 cents.
The U.S. Postal Service (USPS) is not happy about the decrease in rates. The USPS does not recieve tax dollars for operating costs. The system relies on revenue from postage, products and services.
Given our precarious financial condition and ongoing business needs, the price reduction required by the PRC exacerbates our losses.
