They said sometime early next year, so you should be good if you're sending them in December. HTH

Re: Postage increase

That stinks! I also read that NY State is going to have a budget surplus in the billions by the end of this year. Think they'd lower taxes, right? Wrong! Apparently they're going to use the money to offset spending in the years to come.

Re: Postage increase

I heard January 1st as well. They said it hasn't been officially approved yet. Keep your fingers crossed, maybe (at least) they'll delay it a while...

Re: Postage increase

Not good especially for mailing out those heavy wedding invitations. This means more to add to the weding budget, that's why im locking prices in now with costs that i can control with vendors.

Re: Postage increase

I remember when it was 18 cents for a 1st class stamp

Re: Postage increase

Here's what I don't understand (and even my BM who works for the USPS said this) why don't they just make it an even 40 cents?? Why 39? Why do they always make postage some odd freaking number??

Re: Postage increase

SO probaqbly, I can use the old postage to MAIL the invites in December...but I need to have the higher postage on the response envelopes...I hope they have the stamps available for that,,,GRRRRR, anyone know if they will?
