Re: STAMPS GOING UP AGAIN???!!!!!

i just looked it up.. the forever stamp has the bell on it

supposedly you can use these stamps after the rate change.

Re: STAMPS GOING UP AGAIN???!!!!!

Girls, may I suggest you read 'Forever stamps usps? The Forever stamps have the Liberty Bell on them. On sale April12, and may be used May14, when postage changes. Initially it sounds like they can be used 'forever', no price increase, but at the bottom of the article, it states, 'will remain on sale until next price change.' The price is 41 cents. Do any of you read this differently? Mary MOB

Re: STAMPS GOING UP AGAIN???!!!!!

'The price of the Forever stamp will go up at the same time, meaning those stamps can still be purchased for 41 cents but will remain good for first-class postage after the rate increase takes effect.'

Quoted from the article, it seems that as long as you have the forever stamp you can still use it even if there is a price increase without adding extra postage. When I bought the forever stamps when they first came out the postman said that we could use the forever stamp even if there was an increase without adding postage. Therefore a forever stamp. Double check with the post office, but I am pretty sure anyone can still use those stamps.
