2012 Postage Increase Approved

The 2012 postage rate increase has been approved by the Postal Regulatory Commission.  The request was made in October by the USPS.

  • First Class Postcards will go up by 3 cents, an increase of more than 10%
  • Standard (Bulk) rates are a mixed bag, while Periodicals remain unchanged
