First Class Stamps To Increase One Penny -- 46 Cents

Link here.

The US Postal Service has announced that customers will see these new benefits in exchange for the modest rise in the price of stamps:
  • twice-a-day delivery
  • once-a-day delivery on Sundays and holidays
  • overnight, free Amazon deliveries in the lower 48 states; slightly longer in Alaska, Hawaii
  • friendly clerks in all post offices
  • opening of new offices in under-served areas of the country
  • no restrictions on interstate shipping of wine
  • eliminating all junk mail
  • a new, unique zip code for the Bakken
Just joking. Except for the part about an increase in the price of stamps (to pay for health benefits and pensions for postal employees).
