Overall, the changes are complicated, but the biggest basic change is the new distinction between letter-sized mail ($.41 for the first ounce) and business-sized 9x12" envelopes—what the Postal Service calls 'flats' ($.80 for the first ounce). Postcards went up to $.26 . The Postal Service blames it on a decline in first class mail volume, and rising labor and fuel costs.Also, there will be a Forever Stamp. Provided you want to let the Postal Service hold onto a pile of your money, you can buy a monster supply of stamps which will always be good no matter how much rates go up in the future; then you just need to put them in a place you will surely remember years down the road.
